Course Overview
Plainfield Country Club offers a distinguished private golfing experience set just outside Edison, New Jersey. This 18-hole championship course blends classic parkland design with a thoughtfully maintained layout that challenges golfers while remaining accessible to a broad range of skill levels. The course gracefully unfolds across gently rolling terrain, where mature trees frame each fairway, and bunkers strategically guard the greens, shaping both the strategy and rhythm of play.
For players, the track balances precision and power, rewarding thoughtful shot placement without overwhelming less experienced golfers. The interplay between elevated tees, contour-rich greens, and natural water hazards prompts careful considerations at every hole. Those seeking a reliable test of golf will find the course’s routing engaging throughout, especially on mid-length par 4s that demand a mix of distance and accuracy.
Surrounding the fairways, a quiet wooded setting enhances focus and provides seasonal shifts in ambiance, from bright spring greens to the rich golds of autumn. The absence of heavy wind typical for coastal courses makes it an excellent choice for players refining their game or seeking steady conditions year-round.

Stamford Valley is a fun and enjoyable 9-hole track that never disappoints. The course is always in good shape and makes for a great casual round, whether you’re working on your game or just out for some fresh air and a few laughs. What really sets this place apart, though, is the staff — the owners and everyone who works here are always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely love the game. It’s that kind of atmosphere that keeps you coming back. If you’re in the area and looking for a place to play 9, I definitely recommend stopping by. It’s one of those hidden gems that makes golf feel like it should: relaxed, fun, and inviting.

I love this course! I just moved to the area about three years ago and everyone at this course has been so welcoming and friendly! The course has a fun layout with well maintained greens. I recently hosted my partners birthday party here and the staff went above and beyond to make our event special. Highly recommend!

This beautiful 9-hole course is nestled in a valley of the Vermont Green Mountains and is a rare find as it has been passed down through three generations and is STILL family-owned and operated. It was once a farm, and it still retains that small hometown family feeling when you play. The clubhouse is beautiful and the owners are a joy to visit with ! They are certainly proud of their course and should be. 5 stars all day long!!

I cannot say enough great things about this business. From the owners all the way down to the greens crew, I am always met with extreme kindness and generosity. In addition to the warm welcoming atmosphere, I always leave wishing that I had played another round! So much so, that after a couple years of golfing here intermittently, I am now a proud first year member AND player in their Sunday morning golf league. If Google allowed me to leave a review higher than 5 stars I absolutely would! All around just a great place to be and it will not disappoint. I highly recommend the course to any and everybody looking to get out for not only a great round of golf, but an excellent experience in entirety!!
