Course Overview
Plainfield Country Club, located just outside Edison in Central New Jersey, offers an 18-hole private championship course that strikes a careful balance between challenge and enjoyment. Laid out in a classic parkland style, this course unfolds across gently rolling terrain lined with mature trees and strategic bunkering that demand thoughtful shot planning. The lush fairways, combined with well-maintained greens, provide a canvas for golfers of all skill levels to engage with the course’s subtle nuances without feeling overwhelmed.
The setting embraces New Jersey’s seasonal shifts, bringing a fresh character to the course with each visit. Early spring rounds present vibrant bursts of greenery, while autumn’s arrival paints the landscape in rich, warm hues. The course’s layout is designed to test accuracy and short-game precision rather than sheer power. Several holes feature greens guarded by deep bunkers and undulating surfaces that often require a deft touch on approach shots.
Plainfield Country Club’s clubhouse offers a refined yet welcoming atmosphere where members can relax before and after their rounds. Its facilities include locker rooms, dining services, and a well-appointed pro shop, ensuring comfort and convenience. For those who prefer to traverse the course on foot, walking is encouraged, with pathways and gentle elevation changes offering a pleasant pace and opportunities to fully immerse in the surroundings. Appropriate footwear is recommended due to natural terrain variations.
This course is crafted for players who appreciate the nuances of traditional parkland golf with a focus on shot-making and course management. While it presents enough challenge to engage low handicappers, it remains accessible to mid and higher handicaps who bring patience and strategy. The quiet environment and thoughtful conditioning help maintain a steady pace of play. Overall, Plainfield Country Club provides a rewarding round where the landscape interacts with every shot and invites players to sharpen their skills in a refined, private setting.
Course Highlights
The course’s strategic bunkering around greens demands precise approach shots, while mature hardwoods shape fairways and frame vistas. Its parkland design highlights natural contours without extreme elevation, promoting shot-making finesse over power. The clubhouse offers an elegant hub for members with comfortable amenities and a welcoming environment.

It’s a good golf course! You could take a shower there

Solid course. Hard to find well kept ones in the summer time but it’s in good shape, especially compared to other ones. They are known to have long rounds, think they only space out 8 minutes in between groups but if you go knowing it’s going to be a chill pace, you’ll be fine. Greens can be quick!

Nice pickleball facility with eight courts and lights with clubhouse. The courts are a bit narrow with not the usual 10 foot spacing on the side so ATP shots can be more challenging as you don't have as much room. Courts 8 is located next to shrubs so if the ball flies over the fence it's difficult to retrieve. They do have a nice bar and restaurant area as well as shower facilities but surprisingly when we were there at the end of the day the bar was closing. Overall the courts are in nice shape.

One of my favorite courses in South Florida! The Club House is absolutely stunning with the combination of trees and perfectly placed bushes to give it that South Florida vibe. Whom ever they have hired for that does an incredible job of keeping it perfect!!! Take notice next time you visit you can see the love that was put into it! It's beautiful!

No kidding… a good course. But not a great course. For $100, it should have been significantly better. Pace slow… Marshall was present but of little support to pace. This is a place you should play but they need to drop the price $25/$30!

I recently played a round at Coral Springs Country Club and had an enjoyable experience. The overall conditions were good. The teeboxes, fairways, and roughs were in good shape, although slightly dried out due to a lack of rain. The greens, however, were in excellent condition, rolling very fast and true. Playing in the afternoon, we had the course to ourselves and finished our round in just three hours. Highly recommended for a pleasant and swift round of golf.
