Plainfield Country Club

The club’s refined amenities and serene setting make it a standout destination for golfers seeking quality and tradition in Central New Jersey.
Course Overview
Plainfield Country Club, located just outside Edison, New Jersey, offers an 18-hole private championship layout that balances classic design with a setting that appeals to a range of golfers. The course presents a parkland style underscored by mature trees and gently rolling terrain, providing a measured challenge without overwhelming less experienced players. Each hole is framed by natural features that quietly influence strategy without shouting difficulty, making it accessible yet engaging for golfers from the single-digit handicaps to those seeking steady improvement.
From tee to green, golfers will encounter well-maintained fairways that invite thoughtful shot placement amid subtle elevation changes. Bunkers strategically guard the putting surfaces, prompting precision on approach shots while blending naturally into the landscape. The course maintains a firm pace of play with generous fairway widths but demands respect from shots that stray offline. Length varies, with a total yardage stretching over 6,900 yards from the back tees and a par of 72. The variety in hole design ensures that no two rounds feel repetitive, with each hole offering its own tactical considerations.
The atmosphere at Plainfield Country Club complements the golf experience with upscale facilities catering to members. The clubhouse stands as a refined social hub, where post-round dining and member events extend the day’s enjoyment. Amenities include a fully stocked pro shop and practice areas designed to fine-tune your game before stepping onto the first tee. Walking the course is encouraged, providing an intimate connection to the surroundings, while cart use is available for convenience.
Seasonally, the course responds well to New Jersey’s climate, with spring and fall rounds prized for the crisp conditions and vibrant scenery. Summer brings thicker rough but also long daylight hours perfect for extended play. For members and guests who appreciate a private setting paired with thoughtful design and consistent course conditioning, Plainfield Country Club delivers a rewarding golf experience just minutes from Edison’s urban amenities.
Course Highlights
The parkland layout features mature hardwoods lining generous fairways and bunkers positioned to challenge precision around the greens. While no singular hole is publicly designated as the signature, the course’s fourth and fifteenth stand out for their interplay of elevation and green contours. The club maintains traditional American golf values with modern course conditioning that supports both competitive play and leisurely outings.

I attended a bridal shower there and it was beautiful food was great and staff were so sweet. The only knock would be it was $15 for a mimosa and not a very big one.

During our recent visit to the country club, my family and I had the pleasure of crossing paths with one of your employees who truly made our day. Even though he works in the kitchen, his warm smile, friendly attitude, and welcoming “hello” didn’t go unnoticed. We asked his name, and he said it was Angel one of the cooks. It’s rare to come across someone who radiates such genuine positivity and hospitality, especially from behind the scenes. Angel made us feel valued and welcome with just a few words and a smile, and that speaks volumes about his character and work ethic. He represents the kind of employee every company should strive to have. We also want to compliment the entire team the hospitality was outstanding, and the food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be recommending the club to others. Thank you for creating such a warm and memorable experience! Thank you
