Flanders Valley Golf Course has received praise as not only one of the best public golf courses in New Jersey, but also as one of the best in the U.S. Flanders offers two 18-hole championship courses, White-to-Blue and Red-to-Gold. The courses are spread across over 400 acres of Morris County's idyllic countryside. The White-to-Blue Course has a more traditional layout that sprawls across mostly flat terrain. The golf course may lack elevation changes but there are an abundance of mature trees to contend with on either side of the course, making it very tight in some spots. One of the most memorable holes is the par-4 14th, nicknamed "Top and Right." This slight dogleg left hole has a pond bordering the entire left side of the fairway.

Great December Golf

Still playing in December is a treat in itself. Rained yesterday so knew it would be wet. We walk so no carts on course made no difference. The fairways and greens were in very good shape considering the time of year. It was quiet so we played the course just under 3 hours and 45 minutes. Traps still had water so we decided that the ball can be played from behind the trap when needed. Course in scenic and as a senior with a new hip and bad knees I love that there is a bench by every tee box. All in all a great day of golf.

Used cart

decent track, what happened to hole #12?

Decent challenging track. The greens were a little off this round but they did mention they are aerating this week.

If you are familiar with this course, there is a total rework of if I recall hole 12. It's usually a par 3 around 218 yards.....now easily par 4, around 340! It's so new I don't think the GPS or the printed score cards show it as such. I got lost driving there. It really seemed difficult, I guess the hole will be up there on the highest handicap hole on the course.

Good course but super slow greens

I remember when this course was one of the best courses to play at a very reasonable price. It still has a great layout but was very disappointed at how slow the green was. Maybe it was due to the rain the day before. Footprints are imprinted on them cuz they are so soft, if you're more than 10ft away from the hole, you can't putt any harder. Most of our putts were short no matter how hard you hit. We were 4 some played 36 holes - all 4 9 holes. Even so, can't beat the price. Starter was so friendly.

Where's the sand?

Too bad group that runs this course doesn't care much. Bunkers have been bad for years, but now they are unplayable! No sand in any (I played Gold/Red) and most filled with rocks. Tee boxes also poor, fill of divots.
On the plus side fairways, rough and greens were good.
