Water comes into play on six holes on the Lakeview nine at the 27-hole Farmstead Golf & Country Club, which is located in northwest New Jersey approximately an hour from New York City. None is more challenging than the closing hole, a very short -- but very intimidating -- par 3 over water. The Byron Phoebus design opened in 1965.

Great conditions and slow play

Farmstead should use their rangers to better patrol the speed of play on their course. Playing a five hour round because players are looking excessively for their balls or taking second shots is not enjoyable. The course is in very good condition as the rough is kept high and the greens are fast. Very few divots on the tee boxes and greens.

Played the Valley Course

We only wanted to play 9 holes so the Valley course was perfect for that, fairly available. Valley is different than Lake and Club 9's in that it's shorter and has way more uphill, downhill and sidehills lies. The only real "issue" I had with the course was the greens were quite slow but in nice shape. It would also be nice if golfers would fix their ball marks on the greens. I fixed 5 or 6 more ball marks on the greens than our group made. Disappointing.
