Golfers appreciate the well-stocked pro shop offering the latest equipment and apparel, along with friendly staff ready to assist.

Walkers find the course accommodating with mostly gentle slopes and manicured cart paths that minimize impact on footing. Careful attention to turf health and drainage contributes to playability in varying weather conditions, making it a reliable choice through the seasons.

Overall, Plainfield Country Club provides a refined golf experience defined by its traditional parkland style and member-focused service. Whether seeking steady improvement or a competitive round, golfers will find the layout rewarding and the overall environment inviting, making it a premier destination within the Central New Jersey region.

Excellent place, renovated and cheerful, outstanding attention from the service guys, they make you feel very comfortable. You can eat very well, you can tell that there is an experienced chef behind the service. I definitely recommend it!!! And the rest of the club is very complete. It has different recreation areas and all are very nice and very well maintained. Large golf course with 18 holes. Difficult but intriguing. Golf shop and the best changing rooms in the area. Pickleball and tennis courts, outdoor and covered. Gym. A beautiful pool with snack and snack service, and relax area. Anyway, a club with the best services and a great work team that will make you feel that you belong in their place!!! Thank you for having us!

We made an early reservation because we had another engagement. Ethan, Demi and others were very attentive to ensure we were out of there in a timely manner. Our server, Ethan is always friendly and more than competent. He has good suggestions and is eager to answer any questions we have. Great experience.!
