Flanders Valley Golf Club - Red/Gold Course

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.

Mixed feelings after my first round. Staff is A+ and most of the course is in pretty good shape, with two exceptions: tee boxes and the length of fairway grass. Just no excuse to charge $75 walking and have furry fairways & chewed up tees.

I don’t live close by so it’s definitely not worth it for me.

When I go to a golf course for the first time I have no idea what to expect. What I received at Flanders was attention and a genuine caring for the experience. This course is a little far from my home, but darn it’s fun. The Gold- Red Course, or the “Outer”, has a front 9 that is pretty much on the side hill of the Valley. Gold nine has so much beauty but the golf is championship esq. After playing on the side of the valley you now enter it, beginning on Red. The red course is WIDE open. Great greens and a shot makers dream. The Blue-White, or the Forrest, is very challenging. This is inside the valley, a much more traditional layout. Blue course has the most challenging pin locations and greens, while the White course is a tad bit easier. The 13th hole is called the Snake and if you ever play it you will see what I mean. All in all, The starters are funny, the pro shop is helpful and the golfers who play here are most friendly.

No carts available - gas nor push carts. Couldn't play and they did not give a d@%n.

It is wide open but a good test of golf because of the greens. Very slow pace, though.

Flanders Valley is the home of the 5 hour round & the worst bunkers in golf. There are bird baths & french drains on multiple fairways.
I played Sunday, 9/25. The round took 5.5 hours. There was an outing & management saves money by not employing rangers.
Its sad to watch Indigo mismanage the fun course & run it into the ground.

The greens were firm and fast. Fairways were high because of the heat and dry conditions. Better that than NO grass at all.
Rough was long also, but ok.
Bunkers and Tee boxes need lots of work.
NO water available to drink other than 1/2 way house.
Haven't played here in over a year, just about what I expectedly
