Fast Greens

The course was in immaculate condition. The greens were incredibly fast and difficult, but in very good condition. Strategy to score low is a must.

First Time Playing

Enjoyable Course

First playing the course. Form out of state. Wasn’t sure what it would be like. Turned out to be very nice. Course was soggy in places, but good layout and enjoyable holes. There isn’t a cart path on entire course. Would have liked more signage to tee boxes. Missed the tees on hole #2.

Great guys in the shop.

I will come back next time I’m in the area.

Friendly staff, excellent layout out.

Forest Hills Golf Course continues to get better every time I play it. The course maintenance and ongoing upgrades are clearly paying off, and you can tell there’s a real commitment to improving the overall playing experience. Conditions keep trending in the right direction, which makes each round more enjoyable than the last.

Nick, the head golf pro, is an outstanding instructor. His ability to communicate fundamentals, make practical swing adjustments, and actually help you improve your game sets him apart. Every interaction feels purposeful and geared toward real results.

Joey in the golf shop is also great to work with—always welcoming, easy to talk golf with, and genuinely invested in the players and the course community.

Between the continual course improvements, strong leadership, and great people, Forest Hills is a course that makes me want to play here more and more. It’s becoming a regular stop for me, and it’s easy to see why.

Maintenance

If you are going to charge so much for it, why not do some maintenance? Entire course needs some water. If you are willing to spend money on water, then lower green fee.
