Great Track
Layoit was great, rough and fairways need some work, greens were ok
Course and experience was amazing over all staff was amazing.
Only downfall to this course was the old people who feel entitled as if they were apart of a country club hitting into me and my wife yelling at us while we were tee’ing off and even putting telling us to hurry up that we aren’t good enough to play at this course we should try booking a less busy course where people play on the same crappy level as us….. mind you I shot a 98 on this course from the blues….
Not great
This place has a lot of potential. The greens weren’t good. They had poa growing on them. The fairways were in ok condition. When you got off of the fairways it was covered in weeds. The par 3 tee boxes were uneven. All in all just a mediocre central Florida course.
Overpriced
The course is $20+ more than last winter. No overseed. Greens were good but tees fairways and areas around green looking rough. Took close to 5 hours. If wasn’t hot deal would have been much worse
Fun! Great Condition and Value
Fun Course! The course was in great condition and a fun layout for any skill level.
Great course
Had a great day playing this lovely course. Highly recommend.
Fun course
First time at this course and will definitely come back. Overall in good condition. Greens rolled true, fairways and tee boxes in good shape. A lot of fairway bunkers and rolling hills. Even though it’s mostly wide, it’s still a challenging course due to the layout.
Staff was friendly and the course is a fair price for what you get 👍🏻
Forest Lake
Great practice facility. Fair and challenging course, greens ran pure. Excellent practice facility. Interesting note: the par 3 16th yardage reads incorrect yardage on the cart gps and and the golf apps. It’s about 50 yards longer than what the card indicates.
Good, fun course
Great course
First time playing golf in US and I wasn’t disappointed John in the pro shop was friendly and helpful $135 for golf & cart and brand new callaway elyte clubs. I played with Marcus Jonathan & Rusty and they made me feel most welcome really enjoyed their company The course was neat & tidy well defined fairways fast & tricky greens. I had a drink with the guys in the clubhouse after our round and really felt at home
Thank you
I would definitely recommend Forest Lake you will not be disappointed

FOREST LAKE, A GREAT COURSE
This course is in great shape. Has a very nice layout. Even though the course was very full, the front nine was at a very comfortable pace. But, on the back nine, we, somehow ended up behind a fivesome that played slowly, and the course marshall was aware, but did nothing. We waited every hole, as did the group behind us. That was our only complaint. But a nice day to play golf!
Pretty good for the price - would play again.
This course had good fairways, rough, and tee boxes. The sand taps were poor and the pace of play was quite slow. Decent value for the money.
Very nice course
Never golfed this course before, chose it because the price and it did not disappoint. My brother and I are always trying new courses and we happened upon this one. The conditions were very good from the tees to the greens. We were paired up with a golfer who had golfed the course before and was very helpful as to where to hit certain shots to make the loop much easier. I would definitely be back.
Consistent and Reliable
Forest Lake is consistently in good shape. There are some tee boxes that need help, but other than that, it’s in good shape.

The reason that the 16th green yardage is incorrect is because they had to build a new green and tee area last year after severe flooding destroyed the previous green. After about a year the water has receded and you can now see what is left of the old green in a natural state short of the new green.
