Course Overview

Plainfield Country Club stands as a distinguished private 18-hole championship course just a short drive from Edison, New Jersey. Located within the Central New Jersey golf region, this course offers a timeless parkland layout that demands precision and thoughtful strategy without overwhelming players of all skill levels. The rolling fairways wind through mature hardwoods and carefully contoured terrain, creating a golfing experience defined by natural grace and subtle challenge.

Each hole presents a different test, with well-placed bunkers that require accurate shot placement and greens that reward keen touch and patience. The course’s architectural style emphasizes shot-making variety, inviting players to balance risk and reward on every tee shot. Over 7,000 yards from the back tees, the plain yet skillful routing sprawls across gently undulating grounds, where wind occasionally factors into the equation, especially on the more exposed holes.

This atmosphere combined with the course makes it an ideal destination for members seeking a serious yet approachable golf experience.

Walkers are warmly welcomed, with well-maintained pathways and signage enhancing navigation. Those interested in testing their game here should prepare for a balanced round that rewards thoughtful shot selection and steady rhythm rather than raw power. This course serves both low handicappers aiming to hone their skills and less experienced players eager to enjoy a challenging but fair test.

A visit to Plainfield Country Club promises more than golf; it presents a chance to connect with a classic, thoughtfully crafted environment where every round encourages quiet focus and genuine enjoyment.

Unique golf experience. It is rare to have such elite service all at one place. It feels like some of top hotels in the nation. Anything we thought of was taken care of. The food was what you would expect from any top restaurant in the nation. This is way more than just the golf, it is an experience. The accommodations on the course made things so convenient. At 5 the par three starts up. Putting at night. If you have the chance, check this place out.
