Course Overview
Plainfield Country Club presents an 18-hole private golf experience that balances tradition with playability within the heart of Central New Jersey. Located just outside Edison, the course sprawls across gently rolling terrain marked by manicured fairways lined with mature trees and well-positioned bunkers that challenge players of varying skill levels. This private club offers a classic parkland layout where shot strategy plays a crucial role from the first tee through to the finishing hole.
The course’s design encourages thoughtful play rather than sheer power, making it approachable for newcomers while still rewarding precision from seasoned golfers. Overall yardage stretches to just over 6,600 yards with a par 72, presenting a solid test without overwhelming the average player. The fairways are generous but demand accuracy, especially as the holes meander through natural woodlands, creating a tranquil yet focused atmosphere.
Scenery plays a subtle but steady companion to the round, with glimpses of well-maintained water hazards and challenging greens that gather strokes as players negotiate their approach shots. Bunkers stand as firm guardians around the putting surfaces, requiring confident iron play and careful course management. The gentle slopes and undulating greens invite players to engage their short game, adding strategic depth to each hole.
Plainfield Country Club’s clubhouse serves as a social hub with amenities designed to complement the game. Offering dining options and comfortable lounges, it provides a seamless transition from the course to relaxation and camaraderie. The club’s commitment to member experience includes meticulous groundskeeping and a warm, inviting atmosphere.
For those planning a visit, the course rewards those who walk, with paths thoughtfully designed to connect each hole smoothly. Mature trees provide shade along the routing, and the terrain’s gentle rises and drops add interest without taxing endurance. The course’s location in Central New Jersey ensures accessibility while maintaining a quiet setting away from urban bustle.
Plainfield Country Club is ideal for golfers seeking a private, championship-caliber round with a classic parkland feel. Its combination of thoughtful design, scenic calm, and member-focused amenities creates a golf experience that encourages both challenge and enjoyment.

FCC is a nice facility. The golf course is amazingly beautiful and well kept and fun and challenging. The driving range is state of the art we use it all the time. The tennis courts, both clay and grass are maintained at a very high impressive level. Everything we have dined on is always very tasty and we like how they change up the menu. What really stands out at FCC are the owners and staff. They are outgoing and friendly and always helpful. This makes it enjoyable for us to stay involved. Great place to be and it’s always comfortable at FCC.

Just came from another spectacular holiday party hosted by the club. Since we joined in 2018, it’s only gotten better. The tennis program has expanded thanks to Sean Chatellard and Heidi. This has been transformative for us in terms of making friends and really feeling connected. The social events are a huge perk. Love the addition of the cafe where you can grab a latte and breakfast after a workout in the gym. Can’t say enough about the staff: John at the front desk, Emma and Maddie in the dining room, Caleb at the bar. But most of all the Harris family for taking a personal interest in each and every member. So grateful to be a part of this community. 😊

Four years into my membership and each season better than the last! Food and bev is restaurant quality. Unreal! The course is very playable for all levels, and the improvements never stop. Practice range w/Trackman stations is a perfect way to work on your game as well as experience year round club fittings. The tennis and pickleball programs continue to expand and the pool is a perfect family amenity. To top it off, FCC is all in on the member experience. The group of guys I've met and golf with weekly are tops, and the Pro Shop is full service. First rate operation!

I had the pleasure of working closely with Laurel and Joel in a few meetings leading up to my daughters wedding. Laurel was very pleasant and responsive as we worked together on last minute details for the brunch and venue extension. They offered ideas that helped and were flexible as we continued to refine the timeline and event composition. The day of went great! We were introduced to Kim (her first week!) who was very detailed orientated and wonderful to work with. Everyone was super attentive to details and ensured they were available for all of our questions. Kim was committed to excellence as she brought forward suggestions and details that really added some nice touches to the event. Food was raved about by all of our guests- it was served timely, hot and delicious- loved the family style. Servers were super friendly and as excited for our event as we were! While it rained on and off most of the day we fortunately were able to have the ceremony outside - those chairs were wiped down no less than a half dozen times during the day by their crew ( and I think Laurel too!) and they were ready to flip to the tent if needed. It was an all in team effort including Jeff (adjusting the tent sides) and Jason- (helping us pack up)! It was a long, fun day at a beautiful venue with a great staff that clearly took great pride in their venue and delivery! Thank you Thank you Thank you Roxanne
