Flanders Valley Golf Club - Red/Gold Course

Always love Flanders, but I paid and THEN was told of a frost delay which was almost 2 hours. Would be nice if Golf Now would work with courses to send notifications through the app about delays like this.

We enjoyed the layout of the Blue to White course, but the tee boxes are and have been in real bad shape. It’s time to fix ‘em.

The drought has taken its toll. The areas in front of the tees and in many other rough areas are chewed up hard pan. Many of the courses in this area have the same problem. The fairways though are watered well and in pretty good shape. The greens are in fantastic condition. But they have extreme breaks, almost unfair at times. I don’t know if this is overkill because of the drought, or if they want them that way to make the them us open-like. They do roll true and fast though. It was very walkable, despite the scary looking mountains all around the course, although a couple holes had a decent length walk between holes. It was flat though. The only serious problem was the bunkers. They were hard pan with 1/2 of sand on top. You have to chip out of the bunkers, and it’s hard to stop the ball. The course was a bit long for me, even the senior tees were 6100 yards. But overall it was a good course, with an interesting and scenic layout and large, extremely challenging sloped greens. With an invested of some money this could be a spectacular course. But it’s worth a look now for sure.

Good course condition expect for there being zero sand in the bunker's.

2.5 hour frost delay, complete waste of time. Tee time was 8am and teed off at 1030. Starters are a holes. Totally unnecessary wait time. I understand the need for a frost delay, but when patrons are in shorts and tee shirts outside at the clubhouse, why make us wait so long? Fairways/greens weren’t even wet or damp, they were bone dry by the time we played. Do not book if you’re looking for a quick round, no ranger whatsoever and no monitoring of pace of play. 5.5 hour round. Golfer beware….

Course was so overbooked waiting on every tee box every shot. foursome in front of us were all taking multiple tee shots n hanging around. Ranger said something to us but not a word to them about pace
