Course Overview

Plainfield Country Club offers a classic private golf experience just outside Edison, New Jersey, combining tradition with strategic design across its 18 holes. The course stretches over a meticulously maintained layout that blends parkland contours with gentle elevation changes, challenging players to craft thoughtful shots rather than brute force.

This setting provides both visual appeal and tactical variety without overwhelming players of moderate skill.

The club fosters an environment that welcomes members of varying abilities while rewarding accuracy and course management. Greens are fast but fair, offering subtle breaks that test putting while maintaining playability throughout the round. Controlled wind patterns occasionally influence play, encouraging golfers to adapt their club selection and shot shape.

The clubhouse anchors the property as a refined social center, featuring locker rooms and dining facilities that extend beyond the game. Its proximity to Edison makes the club both accessible and convenient for those living in the Central New Jersey region seeking a private escape with quality golfing grounds.

Walking the course delivers an engaging rhythm, emphasizing flow and connectivity from hole to hole.

Bunkers are strategically placed, often guarding the front or sides of the greens, ensuring that shots in regulation must be well-placed.

Plainfield Country Club remains distinguished by its careful upkeep, member-focused amenities, and challenging yet rewarding layout. Whether you’re approaching a mid-iron into a contoured green or navigating a tight tee shot, this course balances natural beauty and thoughtful design into every round.

This is by far my favorite public course in Nashville. Ever since they renovated it couple years back it’s great. They do a fairly good job of spacing you out when they have starters. Relaxing 9-hole course to walk. Geared more toward short game (par 3s and short par 4s).

Spray arms and legs with bug spray before teeing off. Biting flies swarm you if you stand still for more than a few seconds. No complaints about the track. In great shape. Greens could be given more attention. Fix the bugs and it’s 4.5 stars.

Beautiful and simple, 9-hole course. Great course to walk but carts are available to rent as well as clubs. No tee time needed. Note: the nashville.gov site lists 18-hour pricing for Percy Warner but again, this is a 9-hole course. No water hazards. Only a couple of holes have sand traps. The tees and greens are a bit shabby but playable. All-in-all, a great value for money and lovely scenery.

Great place for practice, but practice putting green really needs to be punched and rolled or it won’t be healthy for long. Getting bumpy and inconsistent. Worked hard on bringing this course back, hopefully it’s well taken care of. Also, the online scorecard is wrong and so is GHIN. It’s a par 33 with three par 3s and six par 4s, unless hole nine is considered a long par 3.

I have called 6 times now and no one has picked up the phone. How does one make a tee time when you can’t do it online and no one is answering the phone?

This place was closed when I moved to Nashville and was so pumped to play it once it opened and this place DID NOT disappoint! It is awesome, clean and the course is in great shape! Catch me here nearly every Saturday cause I can’t get enough!
