Plainfield Country Club offers a classic 18-hole parkland golf experience with mature trees and challenging but fair playability. Its well-maintained fairways and greens create a balanced test suited for a range of golfers within an exclusive private setting.
Plainfield Country Club presents an 18-hole private golf experience defined by thoughtful design and timeless tradition. Located just a short drive from Edison, New Jersey, the course is set within Central New Jersey’s gently rolling parkland terrain, offering a pleasant mixture of tree-lined fairways and carefully placed bunkers that demand precision without overwhelming players of varying skill levels. Its layout provides a balanced challenge - inviting mid- to low-handicap golfers to test accuracy and shot-shaping skills, while remaining inviting and playable for those developing their game.
Spanning over a par-71 setup and approximately 6,500 yards from the back tees, the course weaves naturally through mature hardwoods and strategically positioned hazards. Players will find the greens consistently well-maintained with subtle breaks that reward attentiveness and strong putting technique. The fairways offer generous landing zones, but uneven lies and occasional contouring keep shot selection thoughtful. Wind can be a subtle factor on the more exposed holes, asking for control rather than power.
As a members-only facility, Plainfield Country Club offers peace and exclusivity alongside premium golfing conditions. The clubhouse serves as a welcoming hub where tradition and comfort merge, supporting a full menu of amenities including a pro shop, practice facilities, and dining options perfect for post-round reflection or social gatherings.
Walking is encouraged, with gently undulating terrain and well-maintained cart paths making each hole accessible without fatigue. Good golf shoes are recommended, especially in cooler months when morning dew can soften the turf.
Every round here marries challenge with enjoyment in a quietly refined setting. Whether approaching tee one or navigating the final green, the course’s measured flow invites concentration and a rewarding sense of accomplishment. For players seeking a respected championship layout that respects the game’s roots while embracing comfort and quality, Plainfield Country Club answers the call.
The course features tree-lined fairways that reward strategy, bunkers that guard key greens, and subtly contoured putting surfaces. Its parkland design offers a classic Northeastern golf experience, emphasizing shot control and course management over raw power.
