Flanders Valley Golf Club - White/Blue Course

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

The course conditions are 10x better than when I used to play here 10 years ago. Maintenance is good for the tight muni budget. Many ball marks on the greens but that’s either due to the HS event earlier that day or just NJ/NY people with low awareness or careless for others. A few bunkers were nice with fresh white sand. A few were old, shallow and in need of a few bags of sand. Overall pretty good with low-mid expectations. Would play again at 4 for $23 walking

Out in western NJ, this course has everything you need in a golf course. Played here, while they were still in winter rates ($25) so we played the White-Red Courses,. White was much more challenging than Red. You have to hit many different types of golf shots due to all the odd lies and angles to the green. I can't wait to come back in the summer. I heard the Gold course was awesome. Super friendly staff.
