Flanders Valley: Gold-to-Red (Outer 18)

Flanders Valley’s Gold-to-Red (Outer 18) Course is much different than the Inner 18. Tipping out at 6,780 yards, every tee shot will have you seeing an elevation change, which makes things interesting when choosing the correct club. Your approach shot will rarely leave you with a flat lie, so adjust accordingly. The third hole is a sweeping, uphill 550-yard dogleg left. The ideal landing area is about 220 yards from the tee box. From there, you are looking at 70 feet of elevation change to the green.

The Red nine is more flat than the Gold nine, but what makes this nine difficult is the lack of trees. Some might think that is a good thing, however the wind tends to increase over the duration of your round. The toughest test is the 16th hole, a 478 yard-par 4 with a very slight dogleg right, which will demand your best tee shot of the day. A truly great golf hole!
