Plainfield Country Club
Plainfield Country Club presents a refined 18-hole private parkland course near Edison, New Jersey. With tree-lined fairways, strategic bunkers, and subtle green contours, it offers a balanced challenge designed for golfers seeking tradition and thoughtful course design.
Course Overview
Located just a few miles from Edison in Central New Jersey, Plainfield Country Club offers an exclusive 18-hole private golf experience that balances tradition with strategic challenge. The course unfolds across gently rolling terrain, characterized by classic parkland styling with tree-lined fairways, thoughtfully placed bunkers, and subtly contoured greens that reward precision. Each hole encourages a thoughtful approach, whether shaping shots around mature hardwoods or navigating well-guarded putting surfaces.
The overall setting is refined yet approachable, framed by a verdant landscape that shifts gracefully with the seasons. Early morning rounds bring the crispness of dew on fairways, while afternoons spotlight the interplay of shadows beneath the towering oaks and maples. With a total yardage stretching approximately 6,700 yards and a par of 72, the course challenges mid- to low-handicap players seeking a classic golf test, but remains inviting for golfers looking to develop their skills amid scenic surroundings.
Plainfield Country Club places emphasis on walkability, offering smooth paths and carefully maintained turf that make traversing the course comfortable. The layout’s natural undulations introduce variety without overwhelming less experienced players, while selective tee boxes provide scalable difficulty. Players can expect well-maintained bunkers that effectively guard key landing zones, and the subtle breaks and slopes on greens require a keen eye and steady touch.
The club’s commitment to a comprehensive golf experience extends to amenities including a traditional clubhouse with dining options, locker rooms, and practice facilities that cater to member needs. The atmosphere is one of quiet exclusivity paired with warm hospitality, making it an ideal setting for those who appreciate golf’s nuances in a private and carefully curated environment.
Golfers planning a visit should prepare for a pace of play that honors respect for the course and fellow players. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended to fully enjoy the varied terrain. While the course poses strategic tests, it offers rewarding moments for players across all skill levels ready to engage with a well-crafted parkland layout just outside Newark’s metropolitan reach.
Course Highlights
Plainfield Country Club features classic parkland architecture with mature hardwood boundaries and strategically placed bunkers guarding nuanced green complexes. The course profile is gentle but requires precision and shot shaping, particularly on mid-length par 4s and par 3s with pronounced elevation changes. The clubhouse and practice areas support comprehensive golf preparation and post-round relaxation.

Best golf sim in traverse city. I've played all the Sims in town. The owner and all of the workers are super nice people and friendly. The system is so easy to use and if you have any issues the employees address your issues immediately

X Golf is a great place to play a round of Simulation Golf! The Atmosphere is relaxing and friendly. The Ability for spectators to watch comfortably at a table or couch in each bay is a feature that is not found in many other Golf Sim Locations. The Golf Simulation Setup is very professional and enjoyable. The simulation by default gives you the preferred amount of information to help improve your golf game with the ability to give more data/details if desired. This is incredibly more helpful when making adjustments or trying something new with your Golf swing! Overall incredibly impressed by X Golf! Lessons at X Golf are Incredibly helpful. The coaches/staff is very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and communicate easily even with all range of Golfers. The benefit of having Lessons at X Golf with a simulation over a standard driving range, is the ability to easily see the extra data on your swing. This includes impact location of the ball, speed, distance, spin etc. This allows for even more productive golf lessons. After just a single 1 hour golf lesson session i was able to see VERY noticeable improvements in the following areas: straighter drives, ball lofting, Aiming, Chipping, and putting. Overall by far the best Golf lessons i have had! X Golf was even able to Regrip my clubs, after learning from my Golf Lesson, i needed larger grips! Highly Recommend X Golf for Golf Lessons!
