Course Overview
Situated just outside Edison in Central New Jersey, Plainfield Country Club offers a distinguished private golfing experience defined by classic parkland design. This 18-hole championship layout presents a balanced challenge, blending strategic shot-making with a welcoming environment suited for players across all skill levels. Mature trees line fairways that undulate gently, while well-placed bunkers guard the greens with subtle menace, inviting a thoughtful approach rather than brute force.
The course’s terrain lies predominantly on rolling land, providing a scenic yet practical stage where precision and course management come to the fore. Over its approximately 6,700 yards of spanned layout (par 72), golfers encounter an assortment of holes that reward accuracy off the tee and finesse around the greens.

The clubhouse offers refined amenities, including a gathering space that balances a relaxed social environment with tasteful sophistication, allowing players to unwind and share stories once the final putt drops.
Walking the course is both accessible and pleasant, with paths designed to accommodate pace without intruding on the natural flow. Players can expect a layout that respects varying levels of play—from newer golfers seeking a fair test to seasoned players looking to sharpen their scoring precision. Caddies and cart services complement the experience, though many members favor ambulation to fully engage with the course’s subtle characteristics.
Whether competing in club events or enjoying a personal round, Plainfield delivers a golf outing that is both enriching and straightforward. Its setting, classic style, and thoughtful design ensure it remains a cornerstone of Central New Jersey’s golf community and an ideal destination for those valuing tradition coupled with playability.

A great gym right in beautiful Saranac Lake! This is a truly marvelous place, young smart owner, three floors of fitness, reasonably priced, not too crowded and not too expensive great hours 4am - 10pm MF 7a - 7p weekends. Just book an appointment to get started, Jeremiah, a personable friendly family man and competent ex-athlete and manager will get you set up, then you just come in whenever using the fob. Jeremiah is a real good guy he knows what he's doing and has a number of optional fresh ideas for working out, like a Jacob's ladder or the hack squat, but is easygoing and low key in his quick and easy to understand presentation. Really makes a trip to Saranac Lake totally worth it! A great gym for the Adirondacks!

SLOVE is an okay facility. If you are looking for a place to workout that’s local this is for you. They do not allowed guest/day passes. The gym is in a 4 story old building so the layout and space is exceedingly cramped when there are more than 5 people per floor. If you have worked out at other gyms be prepared for poor gym etiquette and equipment selection. Not many members put their equipment away, put it away where it goes, or provide space for you to get to what you need. Expect ego lifting, expect people to be spamming curls 6 inches away from the rack. Expect to have to go to 4 different weight trees to find the plates you’re looking for. That all said, Jeremiah the owner is very kind and flexible and is working hard to get better equipment!

Jeremiah was very welcoming and easy to contact about dropping in while I was visiting the area. This gym has plenty of equipment spread throughout the entire building. I was easily able to complete strength work to prepare for The Arnold.

SLove has been my favorite hometown gym experience so far, and it’s the only place I’ll go in the area…hands down! Jeremiah is knowledgeable and helpful, and he and his wife have brought a lot of great changes and upgrades to the space. They have rearranged, brightened, replaced and continuously take great care of their members. They care about what machines and equipment matter to their members, and are always working to make the fitness area the best it can be. As of recently, they have also introduced a grab & go style food option which is super convenient, healthy and delicious! Highly recommend.

Fantastic Gym. Three levels split into different exercise areas. Two to three of every machine and rack you could want. Clean and organised. I was spoilt, wish every town had this.
