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.

Nothing changes here

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 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.
