Course Overview
Plainfield Country Club offers an 18-hole championship golf experience set within the rolling landscapes of Central New Jersey. As a private, members-only facility, the course presents a blend of classic parkland styling with strategic challenges crafted to engage golfers across skill levels. Mature trees frame fairways that vary in width, demanding thoughtful shot placement, while gentle contours throughout the layout encourage creative navigation around well-placed bunkers and subtly contoured greens.

Beyond the fairways, the clubhouse is a central hub featuring well-appointed facilities that foster a sense of camaraderie and relaxation. Members appreciate the elegant setting for post-round conversations, meals, and social events.

Great service, flatbreads and lobster & crab dip were delicious! This is probably the nicest bar on the island and the games/entertainment options are awesome. This place is a must-go for both locals and tourists!

My teens had a great time playing with the golf simulator and did a little bit of the baseball sim at the end. Super nice staff.

I was pleasantly surprised as to how nice this place was. Tv screens all around, large bar counter top, the bar stools were nice & comfortable, the bar area was visually appealing. There was a live DJ playing music. There is also a section to play darts. We ordered wings & fries, the wings were overcooked but still tasty, the fries were pretty good. We had the Hibiscus Lemon Drop, it was pretty good as well, I was disappointed in the size of the glasses and the look and feel of the glass, they seemed very cheap and reminded me of a plastic Margarita glass. Great atmosphere, I wish we were able to stop by earlier.
