The Valleyview nine is the most difficult course at the 27-hole Farmstead Golf & Country Club, which is located in northwest New Jersey approximately one hour from New York City. Small greens, tree-lined fairways, hilly terrain and out of bounds on seven of nine holes are among the reasons the Valleyview nine is a test. The Byron Phoebus design opened in 1979.

Hire a Ranger and Cut the Greens

Course conditions were decent for late October. The greens must not have been cut in a couple days so putting was rough. The bigger issue was pace of play and zero stars would be appropriate if that was an option. A sub 4 hour round was turned into a 5 hour round by a rude group who had no course etiquette and no ranger on the course to prevent them from jamming the course up and causing waits on every shot.
