Course Overview

Plainfield Country Club presents an 18-hole private championship course set amid the rolling landscapes of Central New Jersey. Located just outside Edison, this traditional parkland layout offers a balanced test of golf that appeals broadly to members who appreciate strategy and shot-making over sheer length. The course stretches to an imposing yardage of just over 7,100 yards from the back tees, with a par of 72 that challenges both amateurs and seasoned players alike.

The course’s terrain gently undulates through mature hardwoods and well-manicured fairways, inviting players to engage with its carefully placed bunkers and water hazards that strategically guard the approach to each green. Tees and greens are maintained to championship standards, reflecting the club’s long-standing commitment to quality. The setting boasts quiet pockets of wooded canopy interrupted by open vistas that allow sunlight to flood fairways, creating shifting shadows that test depth perception and club selection.

Playability remains a central focus here, making Plainfield Country Club approachable without sacrificing challenge. Fair complexion players will find ample room off the tee, while precision shots become vital as the round unfolds and the pin positions demand heightened accuracy. The greens run true and offer subtle breaks that reward attentive reading and controlled putting strokes.

Member amenities extend beyond the course, featuring a stately clubhouse that provides a refined dining experience and social space, complete with locker rooms and practice facilities including a driving range and short game area. Walking is encouraged with well-maintained cart paths ensuring smooth transitions between holes.

Accessible only to members and their invited guests, Plainfield Country Club blends tradition with a serene golfing environment where natural elements frame each hole with quiet dignity. It is a course where concentration meets calm, inviting golfers to test their skill set amid a setting that respects the game’s enduring values.

The views are stunning, but the food just doesn’t hold up. The menu is very 90s—lots of heavy meat dishes, and everything is served with a tiny, bland salad of chunks of iceberg lettuce and tomatoes. My sister was served an appetizer salad even though she ordered an entree salad. I could tell a lot of the food was frozen. It was inconsistently cooked and very bland. The only flavorful thing on my dish was a gelatinous mango sauce that tasted more like a sundae topping than a duck sauce. I ordered the crème brûlée for dessert, and it was raw in the middle with an incredibly thick layer of burnt sugar on top. For what they charge, I expected so much better than reheated Sisco. I will note that the service was quite good. However, the food was nowhere near good enough to make me come back.
