Plainfield Country Club

Edison, New Jersey, USACentral New Jersey

Plainfield Country Club offers an 18-hole private parkland course featuring mature hardwood-lined fairways and well-guarded greens. Combining accessible playability with strategic challenges, this Central New Jersey gem invites golfers of varying skill levels to experience both beauty and thoughtful design.

Course Overview

Plainfield Country Club is a distinguished private golf venue located just east of Edison, New Jersey, offering a traditional 18-hole championship layout. This parkland-style course stretches over an inviting expanse of tree-lined fairways and subtly contoured greens that reward thoughtful shot-making and strategic play. The landscape’s gentle undulations create a course that is firm enough to challenge low handicaps, yet approachable for players seeking an enjoyable round without undue punishment.

Upon arrival, golfers encounter a setting defined by mature hardwoods framing nearly every hole, providing both shade and definition throughout the round. The greens are well-protected by bunkers that demand precise approaches, especially on the mid- to long-iron holes, where accuracy off the tee sets the tone. Water hazards intersperse the course discreetly, adding complexity without overwhelming the flow of play.

Plainfield Country Club’s design lends itself to steady rhythm and variety, making each hole distinct yet cohesive within the parkland framework. Players of all skill levels can find their comfort zone, as fairways generous in width allow for recovery, while strategically placed hazards reward course management and shot selection.

Accompanying the golf experience, the clubhouse serves as an elegant hub for members, featuring a fully equipped pro shop, dining facilities, and event spaces that foster a welcoming atmosphere off the course. Members enjoy amenities geared toward both social and competitive golf, with well-maintained practice areas and tournament events that bring the community together.

Walking the course is encouraged, with gently rolling terrain and well-kept cart paths that support those who prefer to engage with the landscape on foot. The club’s location within Central New Jersey makes it accessible yet sufficiently private, maintaining an exclusive ambiance that highlights its standing among the region’s distinguished golf destinations.

For players seeking a classic parkland challenge that balances natural beauty with thoughtful design, Plainfield Country Club delivers a golf journey underscored by subtle complexity and a deep sense of place.

Course Highlights

The course stands out with its classic parkland design featuring mature hardwood trees, well-guarded greens framed by bunkers, and strategically placed water hazards that influence play without dominating it. Signature holes include the challenging par-4 7th, demanding precise tee placement, and the par-5 13th, which rewards aggressive lines with risk. The clubhouse offers a refined setting for post-round relaxation and socializing.

Great course with amazing views and very challenging fairways with a lot of water bodies, sand traps and other tricky spots. There are a lot of gaps between the fairways and green which makes it even more fun. The service and staff was friendly and professional. I’d totally recommend this course.

This is by far the best golf course in Las Vegas. If you are a golfer, and you can make it to the club on your next visit to Las Vegas, make sure you have Southern Highlands Golf Club on your list. You will not be disappointed.

The course was in excellent condition and the staff is amazing at organizing tournaments there. Our caddie was top notch and provided great advice for shot placement off the tee and putting reads for us as well.

The security guard at the entrance in the morning (elderly white male) has a bad attitude. Very rude and condescending.
