Plainfield Country Club

Course Overview
Located just outside Edison in Central New Jersey, Plainfield Country Club presents an 18-hole private golf experience designed to challenge and engage golfers of varied skill levels. The course unfolds across generous parkland terrain, where mature trees frame fairways that demand thoughtful shot placement rather than brute distance. Its classic layout rewards precise iron play and strategic course management, making each round an exercise in both patience and skill.
The course’s gently undulating greens vary in speed and contour, offering subtle tests on every hole. Bunkers are positioned thoughtfully throughout, guarding key landing areas and greens with a purpose that forces players to consider risk and reward at every turn. The setting evokes the quiet dignity of a traditional East Coast club, where the focus remains on shot-making within a mature, peaceful landscape.
Playability is a notable strength here. While the course provides enough challenge to keep low handicappers fully engaged, it also accommodates mid- and high-handicap players who benefit from multiple tees and generous fairway widths. This inclusive design encourages walking, allowing players to enjoy the rhythm of the course as well as the fresh air that accompanies each swing.
The clubhouse complements the golf experience with refined amenities including a well-appointed lounge and dining area, where members gather after their round to relax and share the day’s highlights. The club’s tradition of attentive service ensures that every visit feels both welcoming and personal.
Plainfield Country Club’s location just off major highways makes it accessible while maintaining a quiet retreat atmosphere. Members appreciate the balance of challenge and approachability along with the privacy afforded by its members-only policy. For those seeking a championship-level layout without sacrificing walkability or natural beauty, Plainfield offers a rewarding and memorable golf outing.

Everything was perfect from start to finish. Brian at Elliott Realty/MBGA was great to work with, very patient and offered great recommendations. Our experience at each course was flawless...especially with being coupon free at check in. Getting ready to book for next year. Thanks again to everyone!
Bryan Tulk
Working with Brian & Dave was a complete pleasure. From first contact, to check in, tracking group payments, course and accommodation selections were all top notch and within our allotted budget. Had issues with greens fees at 2 of the courses, one phone call and they were quickly sorted out. I have already started the process of booking for March 2024. Huge selection and variety of accommodations from 1 bedroom condos to 6 & 8 bedroom units for much larger groups. Beachfront condos & homes to golf course condos & villas, they have it all! If I could give 7 stars for service, I would. The best of the best!!!

This was our 1st ever Guys Golf trip and it was 100% a TOTAL success. Thanks to Brian and Myrtle Beach Golf Authority. To the payment schedule, allowing us to make multiple payments up to a week prior to our trip. As well as coordinating ALL our 108 holes of Golf. Every course was exceptional, and each was different than the one prior. The accommodations were amazing. The house literally on the beach, with ALL the amenities Guys could ask for, it was AMAZING!! We're ALL ready for the 2023 trip and we'll definitely be using Brian (Myrtle Beach Golf Authority) once again. Without a doubt.

Easy booking for the condo and golf. Wide range of places to stay in the North. I wish Elliott would have wide choices in the South so we could alternate each year between the North and South courses. The condo needs to have someone inspect it as there were too many missing light bulbs making the living room too dark. Each bedroom should have at least one lamp. The one fridge kept making noises as the freezer door would stay open when closing the fridge door. We liked not having to make our beds this year. The cost of a week trip is getting pretty pricey.

Always a pleasure to work with a friendly and professional staff who are really good at what they do. Brian Noblin is responsive and has a lot of patience in working out all of our changes. Their properties are varied and first class. You'll enjoy working with Elliott Realty to plan your next vacation in Myrtle Beach.
