Plainfield Country Club

Plainfield Country Club, located a short drive from Edison, New Jersey, offers an 18-hole championship course that blends classic parkland style with thoughtful course design to challenge and reward golfers of all skill levels. The layout weaves through mature hardwoods and rolling terrain, presenting tee shots framed by towering trees and greens guarded by strategically placed bunkers. Each hole offers a varied test of shot-making from length control to precision around the greens, making it approachable for mid to low handicappers while remaining accessible for those still sharpening their game.

The course plays as a par 72 and stretches over approximately 6,700 yards from the back tees, lending itself to a balanced round where accuracy and strategy outweigh sheer power. The routing allows for natural elevation changes that shape several risk-reward scenarios. This provides the kind of intentional variety that keeps players engaged throughout the round. The fairways display a resilient bentgrass surface, while the greens maintain true roll even in warmer months, reflecting the course’s consistent upkeep.

Beyond the fairways, Plainfield Country Club benefits from a quiet, suburban environment with well-maintained practice facilities including a driving range, putting green, and short game area. The clubhouse offers an inviting atmosphere for members with dining options and event spaces that complement the golfing experience.

As a private, members-only club, access requires membership or a sponsored guest round, ensuring an intimate pace of play and a welcoming community. Walking the course is encouraged, with gentle undulations that offer a comfortable walking experience on well-kept cart paths and turf. Weather in the region permits a lengthy playing season from spring through fall, with cooler months offering crisp conditions ideal for scoring.

For players seeking a classic parkland test a few miles from Edison, Plainfield Country Club provides a well-rounded and satisfying round that marries tradition with playability, all within a serene New Jersey setting.
