Have played there twice, won't be a third time, horribly slow pace. The par 6 is overrated, pretty easy, actually.

Fairways were wet ... cart path only made for a longer, more tiring day for most. The 18th hole played a lot easier than most expected. Decent overall ...

Very nice golf course but the marshal didn't go out on the golf course some times and it was so long to play.

Good value for the price, which kept our overall package price down. Had played this course on previous trip and returned due to shape/price.

Was extremely disappointed on putting golfers out as a fivesome. I am a fast player & was disappointed that they would put out fivesomes. A five-hour round of golf is not my way of fun. Since I am presently a starter & marshal at a semi-private golf course I split us up after three holes & we played in 4 hours & 20 minutes. I will definitely tell all my friends that if they want to spend the day on the golf course then play Farmstead. I think its a good golf course & fair.

Was familiar with the course. Still like it very much and hope to play it again soon. Considering the number of rounds it carries, it was in GREAT shape.

Great track, in my opinion one of the most underrated in the area. Would play it on every trip here. Love the 18th hole, one of my favorites on the strand.

Had to tee of an hour late because they overbook the course. The wouldn't even load our clubs on a cart and let us take it to the range. Staff was rude. Took us 4 hours to play the first nine holes! Nice course but I would NOT repeat. Very poorly managed.

Farmstead was in great shape as always. It sits to the North of some of the other courses, but you can always count on great conditions at both it and its sister course, Meadowlands. The price was reasonable and the pace of play ideal.

The golf course was in excellent shape and it was the first time I had played there. I was in love with everything till we made the turn. I will NEVER play this course again unless theylearn how to run a club. When we finished the front 9 we had played it in 2 and half hours. IT took us another 3 and half hours to play the back 9 because of the way they booked tee times. They had groups just starting their round on the back 9 while groups were getting ready to finish on the back nine. At one point we had 5 groups on a PAR 3 THAT IS RIDICULOUS. Again great shape nice course poorly ran.

Wonderful course. The staff did a commendable job to get everyone out on the morning of 3/3/09 due to a significant overnight frost. They shotgun started everyone just after 10am.

sent people off 1 & 10 promoting slow play so they could put more golfers on golf course. for the first time in my life the starter told us we were playing to fast we needed to slow down. the grill room girl would not fix me a hot sandwich and we had to wait for 20 minutes to start on hole #1 which was our back nine I WILL NOT GO THERE AGAIN we played with 2 members and that was the only enjoyable aspect of the day. the 2 gentleman we played with told us that 2 weeks earlier they played with 2 other visiting golfers and it took 6 hours to play the round. never again
