Course Overview
Plainfield Country Club offers an 18-hole championship layout that demands attention from players of all skill levels. Situated just outside Edison, New Jersey, the course presents a traditional parkland design where mature hardwoods frame each fairway, and well-placed bunkers protect the collection of greens.

Fun 9-hole par 3 course. The course and greens are maintained well too. The only thing I would recommend is wear some waterproof or resistant shoes. I had my regular shoes on and they got soaked. No biggie though because I had a blast. The green fees and rental fees are super cheap as well. Awesome time!

Fun par 3 golf course with unparalleled views. Seriously... unparalleled views. Not a home anywhere close to the course. You get occasional views of the glacier and 360° views of nature at its best!

Nice Para 3, 9 hole course! Can be wet after a lot of rain, but still playable. However, DO NOT show up after 4-4:30pm on a Thursday, it’s Women’s night starting at 6pm. When they enter the course all bets are off! They don’t care who is on the course playing, or that fact that you paid your fees to play there also. They practice absolutely ZERO golf etiquette and act like your not even there. I got four holes in and was over run by these crazy women. Oh, if you do decide to venture out there on Thursday night be prepared for a fight, they are very aggressive! Good Luck!
