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.

Pace of play is an issue

They need to bring the rangers back. The course is great but the pace of play is atrocious. Rolling up to each tee box and the group in front of us has yet to hit one tee shot yet. Terrible

Afternoon Round

3pm Tee Time was only 10 minutes behind schedule due to an event that day. Seemed like the pace of play was ok on the front 9 but at the turn, it slowed down quite a bit. No sign of Marshall at all. Basically played speed golf the last 3 holes.

Course was in good shape. Tee boxes were good, greens were good. Some minor issues that needed attention, mainly because of players not repairing their divots.

Overall, I was happy with the course that day but the pace of play is always an issue later in the day. Barely finished the round.

Pace of play

Course was nice however we had a 6+hr round. Several calls to the shop/starter were made but no action appeared to have been taken.

Due to the slow traffic and pace of play, other groups started cutting ahead. Again, did not appear to be a ranger or others in control of the situation.

Great MDW round

Course itself was nice and a great place to take my friend for her first time on an actual golf course. The personnel were older white men who saw two younger women and immediately assumed we were with men or we didn’t know what we were doing.

Disappointed

Played there before and it wasn’t bad. This time I was not thrilled. Greens had tree debris on them making it tricky to putt. Group ahead of us was slow and we were held up all round. Didn’t see a ranger until the 17th hole and that was just to tell us to pick up and not play the 18 th hole as it was 8 pm and closing. So we never even finished a complete 18 holes and we could have played other places that were cheaper. We thought the round was 40 a person but when we got there it was another 21 per person for the carts. So add in the course play and condition of greens into the slow play and not being able to play all 18 holes was a disappointment. Golf cart girl was out there one time only as well

Walked

A good value for the municipal prices. I was surprised at the conditions for a municipal course. If it weren't so far from my house, I would play here more often.

Getting beat up

I am sure all of the play over the winter didn't help, but the fairways were overgrown and multiple greens had patch issues. Hoping it takes shape for early summer.

Decent course, good price, greens were fast

I only give a 5 to superior courses. This course is very nice. I only have 2 issues; if you are walking some of the tee boxes are far from the previous green. 2nd, there is no range to warm up.

Other thank that, as I said; nice course.

Great and Challenging

Playing this course has it all. It’s really 36 holes. You can play the outer course, which is Gold-Red or the inner course ( Blue-White). Arriving you are greeted to a bunch of starters who are super. If you play this course from the tips it is perfect for the better player. Hilly, flat and very tough pin locations make you feel like you are at a semi private golf club. Everyone should get out here at last once.
