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.

The Course with four 9’s.

When I go to a golf course for the first time I have no idea what to expect. What I received at Flanders was attention and a genuine caring for the experience. This course is a little far from my home, but darn it’s fun. The Gold- Red Course, or the “Outer”, has a front 9 that is pretty much on the side hill of the Valley. Gold nine has so much beauty but the golf is championship esq. After playing on the side of the valley you now enter it, beginning on Red. The red course is WIDE open. Great greens and a shot makers dream. The Blue-White, or the Forrest, is very challenging. This is inside the valley, a much more traditional layout. Blue course has the most challenging pin locations and greens, while the White course is a tad bit easier. The 13th hole is called the Snake and if you ever play it you will see what I mean. All in all, The starters are funny, the pro shop is helpful and the golfers who play here are most friendly.

Fun day of golf

It is wide open but a good test of golf because of the greens. Very slow pace, though.

Poorly managed

Flanders Valley is the home of the 5 hour round & the worst bunkers in golf. There are bird baths & french drains on multiple fairways.

I played Sunday, 9/25. The round took 5.5 hours. There was an outing & management saves money by not employing rangers.

Its sad to watch Indigo mismanage the fun course & run it into the ground.

Same old Flanders

The greens were firm and fast. Fairways were high because of the heat and dry conditions. Better that than NO grass at all.

Rough was long also, but ok.

Bunkers and Tee boxes need lots of work.

NO water available to drink other than 1/2 way house.

Haven't played here in over a year, just about what I expectedly

Nice County Course

Couple of bad spots in the fairways, but greens were rolling perfectly. Slow pace, but it was a Saturday afternoon.
