Plainfield Country Club
Plainfield Country Club delivers a classic 18-hole parkland course that balances strategic challenges with approachable playability. Set against mature trees and serene water features just outside Edison, it offers members an elegant golf experience framed by natural beauty and well-maintained grounds.
Course Overview
Plainfield Country Club offers an 18-hole championship golf experience set within a parkland-style layout, located just a short drive from Edison, New Jersey. Members can enjoy a course that blends mature tree-lined fairways with carefully contoured greens, creating a playing field that is both inviting and demanding. The course’s natural undulation and subtle elevation changes challenge golfers to balance strategic shot placement with precision putting.
Throughout the round, the course rewards thoughtful decision-making rather than brute force, making it approachable for players at every skill level. The fairways are forgiving in places, yet tightly guarded greens provide a stern test when the pin is tucked away. Front and back nine holes showcase distinct character, with scenic ponds and well-placed bunkers contributing to a varied, visually engaging round.
Situated in the gently rolling landscape of Central New Jersey, the setting offers a peaceful retreat from urban surroundings. Mature oaks and maples frame each hole, their changing colors marking the rhythm of the seasons and enhancing the visual appeal year-round. Water plays a pivotal role in shaping strategy, with several holes integrating lakes and streams that demand careful course management.
The clubhouse stands as a welcoming centerpiece, featuring refined amenities for members including dining, locker rooms, and event spaces. The well-maintained grounds and practice facilities underscore the club’s commitment to quality and member enjoyment.
Walking the course is encouraged and practical, with paths and subtle contours easing movement across the terrain. As conditions vary seasonally, early spring and fall typically present the best balance of course firmness and playability, allowing crisp drives and true rolls on the greens.
Plainfield Country Club’s combination of traditional design elements, natural beauty, and thoughtful challenge create an experience that rewards both strategic golfers and those seeking a friendly game with peers. Its private membership ensures a well-kept environment where players can focus on refining their game amid an atmosphere of understated elegance.
Course Highlights
The course’s layout highlights a traditional parkland design with mature hardwoods lining fairways and several water hazards shaping key holes. Strategic bunkering around the greens demands thoughtful approach shots, while the overall undulating terrain tests shot shaping and putting accuracy. The club maintains a private, member-focused environment supported by quality practice areas and elegant clubhouse amenities.

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.
