Flanders Valley Golf Club - White/Blue Course

I used to play here routinely quite some time ago. My biggest issue is the pace of play. There are no rangers and thusly you are at the mercy of the slowest player out there! We played eleven holes and then quit. Hitting the ball and then waiting for the next shot, doesn't facilitate for a fun time. You can't gain any momentum. My reasoning for not playing here in years evidently still exists.

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.

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.

Our group finished the first 9 holes under 2 hours and 18 holes in 4 hrs but the ranger kept telling us to pick up our pace. We were right behind the group in front of us so it was somewhat annoying.

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.

Staff is friendly! Course is pretty.

Golf carts are garbage!!!! $24 for a cart is ridiculous.
