The best courses you can play in Flanders, New Jersey

“Francis A Byrne is the best municipal golf course I have ever played. I found myself saying “wow - I love this golf course” over and over again. The greens steal the show throughout, starting with the long Biarritz on 2 (a hole I unfortunately made a mess of).”

“Can see right away why it’s rated the best public in NJ. Great pro shop. Course is challenging but fair. Course is always in great condition. It’s on the pricier side but well worth the money if you want to treat yourself for the day.”

“Course was in decent shape, still played firm despite it being in the middle of a hot rainy spring/early summer. Greens were a bit slow but the layout is good enough to overcome rather uninteresting greens. Really fun risk reward shots and some cool views with the lack of trees.”

“Fun layout and well kept. Lots of blind shots which were tough to visualize since I had never seen the course before. Definitely a course that I would like to play again after seeing some of the lines and gaining course knowledge.”

“Great course, sorta a hidden gem. Can be challenging to get a good free time here if not a local. Course is well kept and has 3 separate 9’s. Grass range and putting area well kept. Staff are alright but not the nicest.”

“Layout is interesting and conditions are usually good enough. Some cool holes and features with some serious elevation change. Good mix of long and short holes. Not a must play, but a pretty fun day overall.”

“Over priced for what it is. Difficult course with narrow fairways. Fairways have 100s of divots that no one seems to repair. Practice area is limited to irons only and the ball machine was broken when I was there.”

“Interesting course but pace is slow, golf carts barely worked and half the bunkers were ground under repair”

“Black Bear is a fun resort mountain style course apart of Crystal Springs. Conditions are usually good, some cool risk reward holes with elevation changes. Not a bad day.”

“Not a bad layout for a public, but greens were extremely slow, basically like putting on the fairway. Back nine completely underwater every time it rains. A few cool views, but not anything amazing.”

“One of the more over priced courses in NJ. Avoid at all cost if it rains as this place floods bad and will have multiple holes washed out. They won’t cancel tee time though and will just have you play 9 twice.”

“This course is ridiculously tight with undulating fairways that are punishing to great shots. They put us out directly behind an outing so our round took well over 5 hours.”
