Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club

I’ll I can say is WOW. My name is Dave, and I’m the owner of Afino Entertainment. I recently visited Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club to provide entertainment services for my clients’ Sweet 16. From the minute I arrived at the location, every staff member was incredibly polite, friendly, and inviting. We pulled up to the clubhouse, and I was stunned by the immaculate architecture. This country club is above all others! The banquet hall manager was incredibly helpful, friendly and fun to be around. I always know when I meet such a staff, that the party will go well because they already have a great, positive attitude.
The room itself is GORGEOUS. From the décor, to the built in sound system, to the built in dance floor lighting, the wall mounted TV’s and the performance stage, this venue hasn’t forgotten a single detail. I highly recommend this location to ANY client looking to book their private event, whether it be your Wedding, Sweet 16, Corporate Event, or any event for that matter. You won’t be disappointed at all by Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club. I can’t wait to come back. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Dave Brennan | DJ AFINO

We come here yearly for their annual 4^th of July celebration and it is totally amazing. The club hosts the most well planned, organized event for families and it’s spectacular! There is so much for the children to do! The DJ and live band is amazing as well. There is food everywhere! Made to order brick oven pizzas, seafood spreads, never-​ending dessert tables… and the quality is on point. Fortunately for me, we are guests at this event and every year it gets better and better. Can’t wait to go back!

The remodel has made this place much nicer. The food here is very good and I find myself going more often then the membership dictates (there is an allotted monthly food allowance in the dues). The course is nice and well maintained.

This is a review for restaurant only.
I came here for a company lunch with executives, and the service was one of THE WORST I have ever experienced.
The waitress got one of the orders wrong, even though she claimed it was correct, so we had to get the menu again and explained to her. She didn’t even know the food she was supposed to be serving. And since they mixed up the order, it tasted horrible. it had to be returned to the kitchen.
The waitress NEVER came to refill anyone’s drink or water.
Couple of the people ordered burgers and fries, and about 80% of the food was finished, she brought ketchup…
After everyone finished eating, we just sat there for a long while, until one of us finally got up and went looking for someone to assist us. The bartender came and cleared all the dishes and apologized for the bad service. The bartender said she will bring the dessert menu for us.
Our waitress finally re-​appeared and asked if we want coffee (without apologizing for her disappearance for a long time). After taking coffee orders, she went away. Then the bartender brought us dessert menu, When the waitress brought the coffee to the table, she didn’t ask if we want any dessert, even though we all had dessert menu in front us. She just brought check right after the coffee.
The food was ok, but when it is paired with such horrible service, it does make the entire experience to be something really disappointing. I hope they will have a better staff or more training of their staff, otherwise, we will not be going back there for any event in the near future.

A very special, utterly dignified, courtly, decorous, stately, and magisterial restaurant that we visited on Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee with my special guest Ali Wentworth. A very special, utterly dignified, courtly, decorous, stately, and magisterial comedian. Fiddler’s Elbow. Just the name reeks of nobility catering to only the most discriminate of the upper crust. I guess the name Fiddler’s Forearm was taken. Fiddler’s Big Toe (there’s 217 more body parts they rejected; meeting went on too late).
A great place to hold your upscale event be it a majestic wedding between a 22 year old hottie and 90 year old disoriented groom, corporate stock swindle party inheritance under suspicious circumstances celebration, ex wife with suicide husband insurance shenanigan hulabaloo. If you find yourself in Bedminster, New Jersey and are hungry and you have a million dollars on you, I highly recommend the Fiddler’s Elbow. Coming soon Fiddler’s Wrist then Fiddler’s Fingers. 4 stars. For the majestic-​ness of it all.

Very well maintained practice facility to warm up all aspects of the game before the round. We played on a Saturday afternoon and the round took 3:05. The conditions from tee to green were excellent and the cart girl was ubiquitous. She actually stopped at the driving range to see if I needed anything. Large selection of craft beers and the service in the bar was great. Great experience and look forward to returning.

I was here two weekends in a row.
First: My bf’s mom’s graduation for her Masters. We did a private event in their wine cellar that was spectacular. We have a cocktail hour upstairs and then headed downstairs for a three course meal. We had the asparagus soup with smoked salmon which was divine. My guy had the filet (a bit overcooked for his liking, but some others looked textbook medium rare, and, serving 30 people is no easy feat!) and I had the scallops (amazingly done) and for dessert we had the cheesecake and the chocolate trio (I think they were made exclusively for the event) — both were delicious but we were so stuffed that not much was finished for that course.
Second: My bf’s dad’s birthday. This time we sat in the main room after a cocktail on the patio. I ordered the buffalo, my guy and his dad had the Strips, and the lady ordered the scallops (again)… because they were «just so gosh darn good!».
Also — the golf is great (I hear) — my guy and his dad go there to get a few holes in on those sneaky Summer Half Days they do…

Could not have been a more accommodating location for a wedding. The facility is very impressive and professional — the staff compliments every aspect of this exclusive Country Club.
The bar is especially unique and offers a very customized selection of fine spirits and wine. The wine list is Italian heavy, but otherwise offers a very diverse selection — should have some more Pinot Noir. I can’t say enough good things about the bartender (Steve) — this establishment hired a true professional with working experience! Just ask about Whistle Pig.
The wedding was held outside on the patio and provided a wonderful view overlooking the golf course. The cocktail hour accompanied a variety of high quality foods and substantial bar placements to ensure any and all guests were served in a timely manner. There was plenty of staff on hand that hand catered many different appetizers — guests could also choose from oysters, shrimp, cheeses, fruit, pizza, meat from a carving station and more. The reception was held in a large ballroom that comfortably hosted a 5 piece band, large dance floor and over a dozen 10 top tables.
The staff and service was arguably some of the best I have ever experienced — the attention to detail, patience, timing and respect for the occasion made this wedding very special. For example, no matter how many times a napkin was used or unfolded at the «Cabernet Sauvignon» table, each time I returned, the napkin was replaced or re-​rolled. As someone with plenty of food service experience, I am proud to say the staff at Fiddler’s Elbow went above and beyond service that I could even give to customers!
This place has a lot of character and history. It was a very unique experience and I would highly recommend Fiddler’s Elbow for any occasion you wish to make memorable!

Had my wedding reception in the ballroom a few days after Christmas… totally magical. Everyone had a great time! The best thing was that, at this time of year, we had the place really to ourselves. Food: excellent, guests are still raving about it. Event planner Annette: amazing. what is remarkable is that despite the grand old-​world feel of the place (which I personally love,) in attitude, they are flexible, non-​stuffy, and personable. We brought some of our own décor to create a winter woodland theme, they helped us make the most of it by bostering the theme with similar items they had in their décor closet. So many good photo opportunities — we got some great shots both indoors and out. We had lots of children, hey helped us make a children’s room out of the library so bored children could come watch videos on a big screen. (Sure helped near the end of a long day!) Our only sad moment in the day was leaving! Highly, hightly recommended.

I have known Fiddler’s for probably more than forty years starting back in the corporate days of a family run business. A few years back we left as corporate members and now are back with a social personal membership.
The club hosts truly wonderful social events and though some of the quality has gone up and down over the years it certainly seems to be at a high point now and possibly growing as well. We know of at least two other friends that have abandoned their memberships at other clubs to join Fiddler’s and the club did an AMAZING job during the displacement of many of its members during the effects of hurricane Sandy. It offered beyond reasonably priced breakfast, lunch, and dinner during this time period as well as free Wi-​Fi and showers to those without power — all in a come as you are dress code. It was a huge help for its community that was deeply appreciated.
Not being a golfer I cannot comment on its courses but I do hear that a pool is coming back (possibly with other things too) which could bring an interesting new atmosphere to an already great place.

Came here for a wedding a few weeks ago and it is a really nice place. Although the décor is a little dated, it has character. They have pictures on the wall of famous people who have stood here like Ronald Reagan, interestingly enough.
The main ballroom is a little on the darkside compared to all the modern halls that have very good uplighting and mood lighting. The walls of the room are all glass which you would think would make it brighter, but it’s still kind of dungeony.
Nothing special about the drink selection and I wasn’t impressed by the buffet. Although the food was very tasty and delicious, they might wanna consider serving the food instead of setting up a buffet line. It seems to take away from the classy experience of it all.
The golf course itself looked pristine, and the man made lakes are a nice touch. I give this place 3 stars because its nowhere near a dump, but they can do so much more to improve the look and feel of it with just some basic upgrades. I wouldn’t turn down an invitation to go here again, but If someone was looking for me to recommend them a hall, this probably wouldn’t be it.

Fiddler’s Elbow is a reciprocal club I played while in the area. They had a shotgun going on one of the three courses when I pulled into the bag drop, so there wasn’t anyone to assist me — no worries. The pro shop was quite a hike from the parking lot and not well marked, but this is a private club.
When I got into the pro shop, they were expecting me or recognized me as a non-​member and put it together. Everyone was nice and my guest and I had a really nice breakfast before hitting the range. Guest fee was $ 125 on Friday morning.
THE COURSE: FECC has three courses — we played the best of the three, The Forest. The course was very well manicured and the rough was high enough to stop an errant tee shot from rolling into trouble but not too high to be a half-​shot penalty. The fairways were setup in a stadium-​like landscape to make it very fair even though the fairways were more than generous for a course under 7,000 yds.
Tons of bunkers with some being very penal. The bent grass greens had tremendous character, were rolling about 10 on the stimp, and were a joy coming from Bermuda greens in TX. The majority of the holes were easy to comprehend and digest once you stepped to the tee (a big thing when you first play a course).
WHY NOT 5*? Getting from one hole to the next was challenging due to lack of signage but we were guests. The range was small for a club with three courses.
I’m not sure what the initiation and minimums are at FECC, but the variety and condition of the courses would seem to be worth it.

This place is pretty sick.
3 courses, all pristinely maintained.
I came for a charity event. They had a full breakfast, gift certificates to the pro shop and free hand rolled cigars.
Ask for Doug — he’s the best. But everyone there is knowledable and courteous.
My golf game is God awful but if I was any good I’d come here much more often.
