Plainfield Country Club

Edison, New Jersey, USACentral New Jersey

Plainfield Country Club delivers a classic 18-hole parkland experience set amid Central New Jersey’s rolling landscape. Known for its thoughtful bunkering and welcoming clubhouse, this private course balances challenge with approachability for golfers seeking championship conditions within a serene setting.

Course Overview

Plainfield Country Club offers an 18-hole championship layout that blends classic parkland design with the subtle undulations of Central New Jersey’s rolling terrain. Located just minutes from Edison, this private course presents a rich golfing experience framed by mature hardwoods and manicured fairways that demand thoughtful shot-making. The course’s strategic bunkering and well-placed water hazards add layers of challenge without overwhelming the vast majority of players, making it a compelling contest for mid- to low-handicap golfers while remaining accessible to those striving to improve their game.

The overall setting features a tranquil environment where seasonal changes paint the landscape in vibrant hues—from the deep greens of summer to the fiery reds and golds of fall. The clubhouse stands prominently near the first tee, offering a welcoming atmosphere complete with dining and social amenities that enhance the day’s experience. Whether preparing on the expansive practice range or winding down after a round in the comfortable lounge, members enjoy a seamless transition between the sport and its social side.

Playability at Plainfield rewards precision as much as power. The course stretches to a total yardage that challenges distance control and course management, featuring several par-4 holes that intertwine through tree lines, inviting thoughtful placement off the tee. Greens demand careful reading, protected by subtle contours and bunkers that test putting skills and approach shots alike. For golfers planning a visit, sturdy golf shoes and a steady tempo are advisable, as the layout encourages focus and shot planning.

With a well-established reputation in the Central New Jersey region, Plainfield Country Club is tailored toward members who appreciate championship conditions paired with a friendly, tight-knit community. Seasonally maintained to remain in top condition, this course’s enduring appeal lies in its balance of natural beauty, strategic design, and a clubhouse experience that reflects tradition without stifling comfort. A round here is both a challenge and a pleasure, grounded in thoughtful design and a respect for the game.

Course Highlights

The course is characterized by mature hardwood trees lining its fairways, strategic bunkering that demands thoughtful club selection, and approach shots to deceptively contoured greens. The clubhouse offers a refined yet relaxed setting for dining and social events. The interplay of natural terrain and classic parkland design typifies the Central New Jersey golfing landscape.

Oyster po-boy was delicious. Service was great and staff were very attentive. Golf course was in excellent condition, greens were firm and fast. Played four different courses over the weekend and this was by far the best. I hope to play it again.

My wife and I attended a dinner and auction for our children's school which was hosted by this clubhouse. They provided a buffet of delicious salads, BBQ chicken breast, BBQ pulled pork, breads, cheeses, and fresh-baked cookies. I was amazed by the freshness, flavor, and quantity of the food. The staff was also very nice and helpful. Definitely a great place for such a function.
