Plainfield Country Club

Edison, New Jersey, USACentral New Jersey

Plainfield Country Club is a private 18-hole parkland course near Edison, New Jersey, blending classic design with strategic challenges. Its gently rolling terrain and well-maintained fairways provide a rewarding round for golfers across skill levels, complemented by a refined clubhouse and walking-friendly layout.

Course Overview

Situated just a short drive from Edison, New Jersey, Plainfield Country Club offers an exclusive golfing experience that balances tradition with a compelling test of skill. This private 18-hole championship layout presents a classic parkland style, carved through gently rolling terrain dotted with mature trees and subtle elevation changes. The course’s manicured fairways flow naturally, challenging golfers to think strategically from tee to green without overwhelming players of all abilities.

From the first tee, Plainfield announces itself with well-defined fairways framed by native hardwoods, creating pockets of shade and framing each hole’s unique personality. The putting surfaces demand precision; they reward thoughtful approach shots while punishing lapses in concentration through undulating contours and carefully placed bunkers that guard each green. Water hazards come into play on several holes, adding visual interest and strategic complexity, particularly on the mid-to-late stretches where wind conditions can subtly influence shot selection.

Designed for the discerning golfer, the course balances competitiveness with an inviting layout that encourages a rhythm in play. While low handicappers will appreciate challenging tee placements and nuanced greens, intermediate players find ample room for recovery and scoring opportunities. Walkers will enjoy paved cart paths alongside terrain that is friendly to foot travel, while the club’s robust maintenance program ensures consistent course conditions throughout the seasons.

Plainfield Country Club’s amenities extend beyond the course with a distinguished clubhouse offering dining and locker room facilities tailored to members’ needs, reinforcing the club’s reputation as a community hub. The clubhouse overlooks select holes, allowing guests to soak in the unfolding drama of play while relaxing in comfort.

Accompanied by experienced staff and caddies, visitors are invited to engage with a course that respects golf’s heritage while preparing players for a memorable round. Whether navigating strategic bunkers or reading the subtle breaks on the greens, Plainfield delivers an enduring golf experience just a stone’s throw from Central New Jersey’s urban surroundings.

Course Highlights

The course features strategically placed bunkers that compel thoughtful shot shaping, and several holes with water hazards add tactical depth.

Such a fun course! The fairways were in great shape. The greens were a little rough but not bad. Can’t wait to play here again!

I absolutely love this place. I have a friend there who's been a member for a few years now and have been fortunate enough to play to play the course quite a few times, as well as a number of events, including member/guest. The course is always in amazing shape. Love the greens. The maintenance staff always seems to be on top of their game, especially for the events. The staff there is also top notch. Super friendly, do their jobs very well, and absolutely kill it during the events. CGC is clearly a well managed and well run facility. I'm sure the waiting list is quite long, but anyone who has an opportunity to become a member should jump at the opportunity. I can't say enough good things about this place!

I had the honor of DJing at the Carolina Golf Club's Labor Day 2023 party by the pool and the atmosphere was ELECTRIC. Billy and his staff really went out of their way to make me feel appreciated and I can't take them enough. I look forward to the time when I can come back here and enjoy the the awesome vibes. The people that here are my PERFECT target demographic musically so, it's effortless to DJ here and they are all so appreciative and accommodating that I always look forward to coming back. 10 out of 10
