Plainfield Country Club offers a refined, private golf experience just minutes from Edison, New Jersey. This 18-hole championship course presents a classic parkland layout that balances thoughtful design with inviting playability. Mature hardwoods and well-maintained fairways frame each hole, creating a quietly challenging environment where precision and strategy continually reward the attentive player. The course stretches over approximately 6,500 yards from the championship tees with a par of 72, providing a solid test without overwhelming golfers of varying skill levels.
The terrain rolls gently, allowing thoughtful elevation changes to influence shot selection and approach angles. Bunkers are positioned with care, guarding the greens and key landing zones rather than punishing wayward swings indiscriminately. A handful of holes demand accurate tee shots, while others encourage calculated placement to set up shorter approaches. The varied hole lengths and layouts ensure no two shots feel the same, making every round both stimulating and fresh.
Plainfield's setting is characterized by its quiet suburban charm, where tree-lined fairways intersect natural wetlands and small ponds, enhancing the scenery without dominating play.

Members have access to well-appointed locker rooms, dining options, and practice facilities that include a driving range and putting greens.
