Plainfield Country Club
Plainfield Country Club presents a refined parkland challenge with 18 meticulously maintained holes set amid mature woodlands. This private New Jersey course blends thoughtful design and approachable playability for golfers seeking strategy and tradition in every round.
Course Overview
Located just beyond the urban edges of Edison, New Jersey, Plainfield Country Club offers an exclusive golf experience defined by tradition and thoughtful course design. This private, 18-hole layout weaves through gently rolling terrain characteristic of Central New Jersey, presenting a classic parkland style that places emphasis on strategic shot-making amid mature trees and well-maintained fairways. The course stands as a quiet challenge for skilled players while remaining accessible for those still sharpening their game.
Each hole flows with a deliberate balance of risk and reward. Fairways often bend with subtle doglegs protected by deep bunkers placed to test precision. Greens demand attention with their varied slopes, inviting players to consider pace and angle to avoid costly three-putts. Throughout the round, the landscape offers changing perspectives—wooded sections transition into open stretches where sunlight filters through branches, spotlighting the careful conditioning of the turf.
The clubhouse, an inviting hub for members, anchors the property with amenities that extend beyond golf. Fine dining and well-appointed locker rooms complement the club’s quiet refinement, making it an ideal setting for both serious play and relaxed socializing. The friendly pace of play and the walkability of the course encourage rhythm and focus, especially under soft New Jersey breezes that influence club selection.
Plainfield Country Club welcomes golfers who appreciate a traditional championship course that rewards strategic thinking over brute force. Though private, members often bring guests who can appreciate the calm intensity the course fosters. Walking the grounds is encouraged; well-kept cart paths and gentle elevations allow a comfortable journey throughout the round.
For players planning a visit, club policies emphasize proper golf attire and requisite reservations, aligning with the club’s respected culture. The thoughtfully positioned bunkers and subtle green complexes deliver a nuanced test of skill, ensuring Plainfield Country Club remains a distinguished fixture in New Jersey’s golf landscape.

Pebble Beach was hands down the most amazing golf course I've ever played. Don't need a descriptive review. Just look at the photos. The course and property are amazing. We also had a great caddie. Highly recommend the services of a caddie during a round. Only issue I had was that during a post round shoe cleaning and wipe down of my brand new white FootJoys, the towel or cleaner that the gentleman used left a faint bluish/green hue. Not the end of the world, but not exactly ideal.
Golf Bucket List
Golf course lives up to the hype. Holes 6-10 and 18 are stunning and fun. Expect five hours+ pace of play, but, don’t worry, it moves along so you only occasionally are waiting on the foursome in front of you.

Beautiful doesn't even begin to describe this golf course. Probably, perfection would do it more justice. The views are amazing. The weather was perfect with a touch of the ocean breeze. I love coming back to this place!

One of the most beautiful places in the world. The grounds are amazing, as are the staff, and restaurants. The golf is top tier. Pebble Beach may not be the toughest golf course, but it is one of the most beautiful. Couldn't be happier with the trip out there with 6 of my closest friends. Memory of a lifetime! It is not over-hyped.

This is one of the most beautiful places. One can't beat the views of the Carmel Peninsula. It's absolutely breathtaking! Even for non-golfers like myself we appreciate its beauty and history. It's a must-see to visit this beautiful beach and the Golf Course.
