Saturday Golf Outing
Perfect except they had aerated the greens and didn't inform us. The greens rolled ok. Would have been greatly disappointed if we had paid full price. Staff was great and a pleasure. Will return because the course is great to play.
Beautiful and tough
Course is great but could use a face lift. It's a beautiful course with great layout and lots of elevation changes and dog legs but the greens are hard to read and the sand bunkers are rocky. Other than that, the course is fun and provides plenty of challenges.
Eduardo, thank you for the feedback on our course. Forest Greens has been around for sometime now and the crew work hard to provide the best conditions we can. It is our hope that we can get some large scale work done on the bunkers in the coming seasons. We hope you can come back for a future round when the bermuda is fully in bloom.
Thank you
Forest Greens Staff
Thank you so much for your feedback. It is always encouraging to see our guests are happy with the experience here at Forest Greens.
Always in the rotation
I've played Forest Greens pretty often over the years. At this time of year, the fairways play firm and fast and you normally get a very good lie in the fairway. The greens were ok but a little bumpy. That's probably more due to people not fixing ball marks rather than the course itself. I wish there were sand buckets at the tees to encourage people to fill their divots. Biggest issue I had was many of the bunkers basically had dirt and rocks in them...no sand. Perhaps they are being worked on. I know you aren't supposed to hit in there but if you do, you may want to institute your own rule and make sure you won't be hitting rocks. Staff was very friendly all around. I'll book here again without hesitation.
Thank you for the feedback on your recent visit with us. We certainly want to provide the best conditions we can. The ball marks and divots are an ongoing battle we will undertake weekly. The bunkers are being looked at for reconstruction in the future, you can note bunkers on #8 have been rebuilt to specs we hope to have in the future.
We appreciate your candor and feedback on the visit with us recently. The bunkers are a work in progress, and we have recently rebuilt the bunkers on Hole #8 with the Better Billy Bunker. We would love to hear what you think about them.
Thank you for the recent feedback on your visit with us. We look forward to you next round to see what you think of our recent improvements. There are some new bunkers to try out on hole #8.
Fun course
Bang for your bucks and pretty good condition except for the bunkers
We appreciate you taking the time to provide some feedback on your visit with us. The course is fully out of dormancy, and is in fantastic shape. The newest update for FGGC is we have new bunkers on hole #8 for you to try out. We recently installed Better Billy bunkers on that hole for future consideration for the rest of the course.
Sounds like you enjoyed your visit to the course. I think you would be more impressed now that the Bermuda is growing hard in the fairways. We also have some new bunkers on our #8 par five hole to test out. Thank you for the comments.
Course is in a terrible condition, hardly any grass on the fairways, weed everywhere including greens, rough is taken over by clover. They did not even bother to blow greens which is covered by tree drops, impossible to putt without brushing off your putting line. Cart paths are mostly destroyed, be careful driving on them especially if you have bladder problem :) So disappointed.
Thank you for the comments on your visit. With the mild winter we have seen some heavy rains, as opposed to snow. These rains have taken much of the thatch cushion from our dormant Bermuda fairways. These will always come back when temps stay above the 60 degree mark. I am sure you would see different conditions if you were to come for a visit now. We hope we can host you again for another round.
Thank you for the feedback regarding the course and staff on your visit to the course. We always appreciate comments on what we do well, and what we can improve upon. We look forward to seeing you soon for another round at Forest Greens.
Course in pretty good shape for early March. Minimum stAffing on course. No drinking water on the course and the snack bar closed! No good support for the golfers.
Thank you for you input regarding you last visit to the course. The course has had a lot of play with a mild winter, and with the turf being dormant it is impossible for it to fully recover until spring temps come. I am sure if you come back for your next round this spring when the bermuda comes out of its winter nap you will not be disappointed. Thank you
Par for the course
It was the middle of winter basically so I would not expect the course to be in fantastic shape. With that in mind, the fairways were decent but the greens were a little rough and very fast.
This course is a reasonable challenge and fun. One of my local favorites.
William, thank you for the feedback. Our Super and his team work very hard to provide excellent playing conditions. With warmer weather coming you will see the winter wear and tear recover to the level you are accustomed to at Forest Greens. We look forward to your next visit.
Forest Greens Round of Golf
I found my round of golf at Forest Greens to be very enjoyable and a good bargain for the money. They course was challenging, but fair and in pretty decent shape for being the middle of February. The fairways were brown, but what do you expect for this time of year. I will play this course again in the future and recommend it for golfers of all skill levels.
We are happy to hear your experience was a good one. You are correct that the dormant bermuda fairways are brown during the winter. When warmer temps come they will come out of the winter sleep to an emerald green. Please come back this spring when the entire course is in full bloom.
Struggle to finish 18 with 1:36 tee time
Overall good round and great value. Cart BARELY made it through 18 though. Greens were VERY hard to read.
Johsua, thank you for your feedback on your recent visit. We apologize for the sluggish cart, they are getting close to the point where we will have a new fleet. The present fleet has gone around a few times. We hope to see you again soon at the course.
Awesome course!
I'm mid handicap golf player & I love coming to this course. The course conditions overall is great & well-maintained. It's also challenging but also fun playing it. I highly recommend this course.
Thank you for your comments on our course. We look forward to hosting you again int eh spring.
Great Mountain Course
A must-play mountain course in DC area. It is nicely designed and well maintained. Not very long but pretty challenging. Wish there was a marshal to speed up the pace.
On behalf of our staff we would like to thank you for your feedback, we hope to see you again soon at Forest Greens.
Great value
This is a challenging course at a great value. I don't know the slope rating but I rarely had a flat shot.
For $53 on a Saturday morning I will definitely play here again.
Only comment is the greed could have been in slightly better shape, but it's getting to the end of the season.
Thank you for your review, we look forward to your next visit to Forest Greens.
Have to play again when it has been dry and the greens heal.
Most of the course is in good, just a few bunkers and the greens need help. The greens have been punched recently, are very bumpy and need time to heal. A few traps were full of water and unplayable. These are the two main reasons I wouldn't recommend it to a friend. In time both should improve considerably.
Thank you for the review. The course is in wonderful shape with greens fully recovered, and all bunkers manicured since last round of thunderstorms. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Great course
I played this course in August and it was a very good course. Well maintained and the staff was very friendly. I got a chance to meet Dave the head pro and he took care of us! The staff knew about the course and always asked us if we needed anything else. Wonderful people!
For the course itself, I loved the fairways. I could hit off them all day! Green and mowed down to perfection. The course is challenging because of some blind shots. But it was never too hard where we wanted to give up. Just hard enough. It rewards good shots and punishes bad ones just like any good course does.
Had a chance to have a drink with some of the staff after our round, and they were awesome! Nice and easy to talk to.
I would come back to this course in a heart beat!
Thank you so much for you feedback regarding your visit to Forest Greens. We look forward to hosting you again soon.
Great Course!
First time playing Forest Greens but it certainly won't be the last. The staff was very friendly and helpful with the range balls and when I was getting food at the turn. Lots of places I've been to don't show the same kind of friendliness which was a nice experience. The grass range was a good addition but just like the tee boxes throughout the course, it needed some repairs. The course was in great shape overall. The greens were nice and the fairways were even better. Riding through the course was great with all of the creatively designed holes and gorgeous views. Even though the temp was over 100 when I played here, I'd gladly go back and most likely will. Definitely recommend this course!
Thank you for the feedback in your review. The fall has been a time of recovery form a very challenging summer for turf. Although we held up well as you note, we have also recovered this fall. I think you would really enjoy it if you can get back out for another round before winter hits.
Play it
Although I donated some balls here, I feel it was a fair test of golf skills. Majority of the course is in good shape and considering the time of year is still this good says something about management.
Thank you for the positive feedback. The fall has provided ideal temps for full recovery from our hot/humid summer. If you liked it last time, I am sure you would love it now. We look forward to seeing you again at Forest Greens.

Thank you for the feedback on the course and staff. My apologies that you were not informed of the aerification as we do try to make sure this information is shared with our guests. As a practice we try to do our aerifications in late April and late September. If you are coming out around these time frames please contact our golf shop staff directly during normal business hours so they can inform you one way or the other. At times we do have challenges with the national switch board not sharing details like this.
Again my apologies you were not informed prior to your arrival.
We hope to see you again soon.
