Plainfield Country Club
Plainfield Country Club presents an 18-hole private parkland course that merges classic design with thoughtful playability. With rolling fairways and subtly contoured greens, it offers a refined setting for golfers seeking strategic challenges balanced with approachability.
Course Overview
Located just outside Edison in Central New Jersey, Plainfield Country Club offers a refined yet demanding test of golf across its manicured 18-hole championship layout. This private club delivers a classic parkland experience with rolling fairways framed by mature hardwoods and strategic bunkering that quietly challenge players to balance creativity with precision. Though it embraces tradition, the course remains approachable for golfers of varying skill levels, inviting steady play without compromising on moments of genuine challenge for lower handicaps.
The course’s gently contoured greens present subtle breaks, rewarding thoughtful approach shots and careful pace control. Tee shots require attention to placement rather than brute force, as fairways angle and narrow in spots, directing strategy hole by hole. The landscape offers a serene setting, characterized by well-tended turf and open sky above, providing both visual comfort and consistent playing conditions throughout the seasons.
Plainfield Country Club’s facilities complement its golf offerings with a tasteful clubhouse that functions as a central social hub. The amenities include a well-stocked pro shop and practice areas designed to sharpen every part of your game before you step onto the first tee. Though the course’s layout favors traditional parkland style, the subtle undulations and carefully maintained hazards demand focus and reward shot precision.
Ideal for members seeking a refined yet approachable golf environment, Plainfield Country Club balances playability with competitive elements. The conditions during peak season ensure firm fairways and fast greens, emphasizing accuracy over distance. Walkers are welcome, encouraged to enjoy the course’s natural rhythm, with smooth paths and moderate terrain that make walking both comfortable and engaging.
Visitors planning their rounds will find the club’s private nature means access is reserved for members and their guests, preserving the tranquil pace essential to this style of golfing experience. Overall, Plainfield Country Club offers a polished, thoughtful journey through a classic New Jersey course that honors tradition while fostering satisfying play for all who appreciate the subtle art of golf.

Went to see the Players Championship for the first time and was blown away by the course. Absolutely stunning. The preparation and stewarding was first class, the food and retail areas high quality and spotless clean. I have been to a number of Opens and they pale in significance to how the PGA runs a flagship event.

Took my son and father to play TPC Sawgrass back to back days on 4/22 and 4/23. Having watched this tournament for decades on TV it was a bucket list experience for the golfers in my family. The facility is pristine with definitely the best clubhouse in golf. The practice facility was spectacular. The course itself is different than I expected requiring precision off the tee over distance. The greens were some of the best I have ever played on. This is a must on all golfers bucket list....and you will certainly pay top dollar for the experience.
