Plainfield
Plainfield Country Club is home to one of the top-rated and finest championship golf courses in New Jersey. The excellent tree-lined and open parkland layout contains a wealth of wonderfully crafted, memorable and challenging holes. Definitely a course that will challenge your all-round game. However, this is a private course generally playable only by members and their guests.
Plainfield is a private club. Guests may only play if hosted by a member.
Non-metal spike facility. Walking permitted.
