Plainfield Country Club

Situated just outside Edison in Central New Jersey, Plainfield Country Club offers a refined private golfing experience steeped in tradition and challenge. This 18-hole championship layout presents a classic parkland design characterized by undulating fairways, mature tree-lined corridors, and well-placed bunkers that demand thoughtful strategy off the tee. The course's rolling terrain introduces subtle elevation changes that influence shot selection and reward precision from every distance.

Plainfield’s course yardage stretches over 6,700 yards from the back tees with a par of 72, providing enough length and complexity to test low handicap players without overwhelming those newer to the game. The greens feature a mix of subtle breaks and tiered contours, while the hazards, including water elements and deep bunkers, require a steady approach and an adaptive short game. This balance makes the course approachable for players of varied skill levels, blending challenge with fairness.

The environment around each hole is serene, offering quiet glimpses of wooded areas and well-maintained natural spaces that create moments of calm between demanding sequences. Wind conditions are generally mild but can become a factor on more exposed holes, adding an additional layer of tactical consideration.

Plainfield Country Club goes beyond golf with a clubhouse that supports a full range of amenities including dining, practice facilities, and hospitality spaces designed with members’ comfort in mind. Walking is encouraged and accommodated with well-kept paths; sturdy shoes are recommended to navigate the gentle slopes and natural surfaces.

For golfers seeking a private course experience that melds thoughtful design with accessible playability, Plainfield Country Club delivers an engaging round within a dignified setting. Its combination of architecture, maintenance, and member-focused services makes it a strong presence within the Central New Jersey golf scene.
