Course Overview

Plainfield Country Club offers an exclusive 18-hole private golf experience just outside Edison, New Jersey, set within Central New Jersey’s rolling landscape. The course presents a classic parkland layout, featuring tree-lined fairways that demand precision from tee to green. While approachable for golfers at various skill levels, the design rewards thoughtful strategy and shot shaping more than brute force. With well-maintained greens and gently undulating terrain, players will find a balanced test that blends challenge with satisfying playability.

The setting extends beyond the course itself, as mature hardwoods and subtle elevation changes create a measured sense of natural rhythm throughout the round. The variety within each hole encourages engagement: tighter fairways invite controlled drives, while the short-iron approach shots are guarded by thoughtfully placed bunkers that challenge your touch and decision-making. These features, combined with neatly manicured tee boxes and fairways, reflect a facility attentive to both aesthetics and play.

Plainfield Country Club caters primarily to members seeking a refined, traditional golf environment with all the conveniences expected of a championship venue.

Golfers who enjoy walking will appreciate the course’s gentle contours and well-laid paths, ideal on calm days with light breezes testing rhythm and tempo.

For those planning their visit, early morning rounds often provide calm conditions with softer greens, while afternoon tee times might introduce subtle wind elements. The membership-only policy ensures a quiet, well-regulated pace of play, allowing players to immerse themselves fully in the game. Whether honing skills or enjoying a friendly competition, Plainfield Country Club delivers a measured and polished golf journey that honors the game’s traditions while inviting steady improvement.

June 21, 2023. The restaurant has changed management. The building owners run the bar. Another entity leases and operates the restaurant and food. I guess things struggle. We will wait and see. As of April 7th, 2023, great improvements Wonderful changes. Breakfast. Starting at 8 in the morning, they offer a full coffee and pastry bar. Also, white cloth table service. The creole shrimp and gouda grits are delicious. Me and Hubs also got a trifokded 2 egg Omelet. Great table service. As of July 2022, they are now open for breakfast pastries and a barista style capouccino and expresso bar. Cafe au latte. Flavored coffees. Stuffed biscuits. Sausage or egg or crayfish and other delicious goodies. It's great for golfers to grab and go. Huge selection of fresh baked pastries daily. Except Monday and Tuesday. Great and very enjoyable staff . The food is awesome. The views are nice. Vistas of green lawns. We do not golf. But we can drink cocktails all day and watch men walk around and bang their little balls all day. Jolly is good. Delicious steaks. Very delicious. Chef Joe is a great culinary talent to Capones and to Gulf Hills. Matt is also a terrific wait staff person. Very good with details and very polite. Enjoy a lunch at Capones for lunch or dinner. We highly recommend the charm and experience. Ask for Matt.

Was expecting the “Capone Club” to be a little more gourmet than some Great Value similar bread and meat. $18 for a sandwich and coke. 😞

A hidden gem right outside of downtown OS. Thursday nights they have all you can eat Royal Reds! Had the black and blue on this trip. It’s a giant! My wife had the chicken pot pie. Lunch specials rotate as well!

Truly one if the best spots on any street of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Huge and majestic live oaks surround a setting of greens. Since the 1920's, this has been a great course. Thursday night we go to the all-you-can-eat Royals Reds Shrimp. Chef joe is a great talent for the restaurant. Matt is our favorite staff wait person . Thanks Matt. Always a great job.
