Flanders Valley Golf Club - Red/Gold Course
About
Flanders Valley Golf Course boasts two championship courses that sprawl across the rolling countryside of Morris County. The facility is considered one of the best public golf courses in New Jersey and has even been ranked as one of the top 75 public courses in the country. The Red-to-Gold Course has a hillier terrain than the other course, White-to-Blue, which has a more traditional design. It is the more challenging of the two courses with mature trees scattered throughout and uneven lies provided by the elevation changes, which also offer scenic views of the idyllic surroundings. The Red-to-Gold's seventh hole is the most difficult of all the 36 holes at Flanders. This tricky par 4 has trees flanking both sides and it is also subject to the prevailing winds.

Red White not Blue White
The White 9 were a big improvement over the red 9. Website indicates that Blue white course is open but at this time only red white is open. I would not want to play the red 9 again. Boring flat straight fairways with out many trees. The white course was layer out much better. Conditions were pretty good though only red tee boxes were available. I would come back and play blue white. I was also told the golf course is hilly and challenging but I have no interest in playing the red ever again
Nice local course
Nice course layout for red and white. I found white challenging. Will absolutely play here again.
Staff are friendly and nice.
Nice course
Not a very challenging course, we played white to red, which is what they have open for the winter, greens had a lot of top dressing making it impossible for the ball to spin , but that’s expected for winter golf. Golf now price was a steal, but once summer comes expect to pay $70+ per round, which in my opinion it’s not worth the money. Overall, very fun layout, very friendly staff.
Very nice public course
Fairways and greens were in great shape at this time of the year. Enjoyed the layout. Tee boxes need a little maintenance.
good in general
This was our first time play there, the course was very wet, it was raining the whole day before. But the course view is nice, lots trees. It will be great if in a good weather, I think.
A great course in Morris County!
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.
Very nice for an old guy
I'm 71, use to be good ,but now can still break 80 from senior/ladies tees. Not use to walking ,but had to. Course was wet, but not difficult to walk at all. I'm tired today though! Played temp tees, to sandy greens. But they were actually good to putt on. Staff was great! Would definitely come back during season to actually see what the holes really play like. Also 2 other nines that seemed hillier.. Only problem was that I was a single. Caught a 3 some on 6th hole and they had no clue as to letting me play through.
Hidden gem
I am lucky enough to live in town and play this course 90% of the time. The grounds are well maintained. The greens are fantastic although probably the toughest greens to score on in NJ. You need to consider your shots carefully!!
There are a lot of ways to get in trouble if you don’t play smart. The tee boxes could use a little help. Tee boxes are well placed. From the white tees, the average golfer (me) can play to the 150 marker without issue on most holes.
Harder from the tips for sure.
The fairways have plenty of room to try and bomb one but missing big will cost you big.
Walking this course is very doable!! There are a few on holes on the Gold course that are a climb but the Red nine flattens out. White to Blue is very walkable.
As far as the staff? A+. The staff is top notch and welcoming. If someone is not friendly it’s probably your fault.
Play well

A hidden gem
The course after frost delay lifted played spectacular. greens were in terrific shape and course meticulous I highly recommend @
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.
Love this course as well!
