Course Overview
Plainfield Country Club presents a compelling test of golf within a meticulously maintained 18-hole layout that blends classic parkland characteristics with strategic design elements to challenge golfers across all skill levels. Located just a short drive from Edison, New Jersey, this members-only facility offers an experience that balances tradition with everyday playability. The course stretches over 6,700 yards from the back tees, with a par set at 71, inviting a wide range of players to engage their skills without feeling overwhelmed.
The rolling fairways are lined with mature hardwoods that shape the character of the course, providing both visual appeal and strategic considerations. Bunkers are thoughtfully placed, guarding many of the greens and demanding precise approach shots, while subtle elevation changes create shot-making variety that rewards smart navigation. The overall setting provides a calm environment away from urban noise, where early morning rounds reveal dew-laden grass and gentle breezes that influence club selection.
Known for its seasonal conditioning, the course shines during the late spring and early fall, when turf conditions are firm and fast, enhancing ball roll and presenting an authentic golf experience. For members and guests, the clubhouse serves as a comfortable gathering place, featuring dining options and social spaces that complement the on-course experience.
Walking the course is encouraged, with generally smooth pathways and manageable terrain; players are advised to wear spikeless shoes or comfortable golf footwear suitable for moderate elevation changes. Golf carts are available but members often prefer to test their endurance and get closer to the natural rhythm of the course on foot.
Plainfield Country Club’s commitment to preserving its historic roots while balancing playability makes it a preferred venue for those seeking challenge and enjoyment alike. The course’s blend of natural beauty and precise design creates an engaging round where strategy, skill, and the New Jersey landscape intersect meaningfully.

Guy in the pro shop is one of the nicest golf course workers I’ve ever met. Me and my 4some had a great time Sunday morning. Course is having some houses being built on it but still played well. Definitely making the drive to come back!

Sat outside on the patio. Amazing views of the golf course and the mountains from where we were sitting. Burgers are awesome, and they have some of the best appetizers in town. Definitely recommend this place too anyone who lives in the surrounding area.

A family member recommended this course and it did NOT disappoint. The Augusta of the Carolinas, an absolutely tremendous course. Fairways are superb, greens immaculate, and the course was in gorgeous shape. I loved every hole here and the bev cart girl was super friendly and polite. The pro shop workers were the best and gave us free Pro V1s. If you are looking for a course in South Carolina look no further than here. It has everything you could ever want and more. I will be playing this course all summer long!

Decent place to play. Unortunately no signature holes. Undergoing renovations.

At this time it is a definite no. The staff and guests where all very friendly but the course was just dead packed grass and mud. Maybe in a month or so but at the price it's a definite no go.

The business recently changed hands and the new owners have made many upgrades. The greens are beautiful. They fixed many things that were in need of work. You can also get some really good food at the club house or on the course. They have a person going around with a beverage cart and snacks. She will also take a food order for you. My Husband and I had a great time today and we were both really impressed with the improvements overall.
