Thank you so much for your review. We try to provide a friendly experience and a good value for our guests. The course is in great shape for the fall, there is still time for another round before winter hits the middle Atlantic region.

Satisfied Customer

I have played over 15 courses in the Northern Virginia area and I must say I am pleasantly surprised in my experience for playing this course with the affordable prices it offers. I played around 11am with a couple who happened to be members and truly enjoyed my time. The pace of play was great although we ran into a slow down on the back but that didn't last long because the marshal solved that issue. The staff was nice and welcoming and the food service was quick and enjoyable. The course was in great condition although the sand traps cause use a little help. Overall I would definitely recommend this course and will be returning with friends

Pleasant Surprise!!!

I played Forest Greens the other day at the suggestion of a friend. We were looking for a place to play that was in between for both of us. We checked out the site, read a few reviews and decided to give it a try. I am a 9 handicap so better than average. The staff were friendly and helpful when I told them this was my first visit to the course. The shop attendant told me where to go, how to get the range balls, and the starter name I was looking for. Once on the course I was pleasantly surprised by the design. The layout was fun and challenging enough, but it did not beat me up to bad for my first visit. We also played the white tees at the suggestion of the starter Ted. While it did make it a bit friendlier, I will play the blue tees next time back. The conditions were very good, especially considering the heat we have had this summer. I now some of my favorite courses conditions were not as nice as these. There were the typical ball marks, but not terrible...The fairways were great..Tees were good. Bunkers need some help, but were okay. I would say it is worth the drive and is a great value. I also would recomend the pulled pork tacos if they are on the menu when you go out.

PDP Membership Review

The golf course is in fair shape but is unforgiving. It is not recommended for high handicappers. My gripe is with the PDP program which is a one set fee and includes driving range privileges. I like the idea of hitting golf balls, but the problem is managerial decisions without telling the players. They change the days when the driving range is closed and hours of operation without warning. Not good!

Thank you for your review. The course has help up well to the dog days of summer. We strive to be consistent with our programs. The PDP program allows access to the range 7am to 7pm, with the exception of Tuesday when it closes at 4pm, and reopens at 10am or earlier on Wednesdays. This simply allows us the opportunity to perform normal maintenance for the range area overall. If you have any further questions please come to see me on your next visit.

Thank you again.

Good course; nice folks, traps need work; slow start

Title says it all. Sand traps need sand, period. They don't drain because they are mud. Starter is always behind...nice if you're a walk on but frustrating if you are trying to stay on track. This course is close so I golf it a lot but it's an average course.

Overbooked

Tee times were overbooked and there were no carts available at our tee time. We eventually did get a cart. Five hour round. The Poa Annua has taken over the greens making them almost impossible to putt. I understand the grass has not greened up yet due to the cold but there is no grass in several of the fairways, I felt like I was hitting off of packed sand. There was no beverage cart out on a Sunday? The management needs to take charge maintaining this course or they are going to loose it by mid summer.

Thanks for playing Forest Greens and providing your comments. The course conditions have changed quite a bit since you played. The Bermuda fairways have come out of dormancy and the greens have healed after aeration. We apologize for not meeting your expectations. We were short-staffed the day you played and did not provide the level of service we are known for. Please give us another try and stop in to see the GM afterwards to let me know how it went. Thanks!

Ugly Conditions

Generally FG's was in terrible overall condition. Fairways appeared dormant and yet lacked even a hint of base grass. Fairway shot were off dirt. Tee boxes were average at best. Bunkers played were rock filled dirt messes as were the ones just viewed in passing. Greens are second rate, uneven and poorly maintained.

Grass tee driving range mats only, was disappointing.

Pass was slow slow slow!

Will avoid this course for a while.

Grass range is now open for the season and the course has greened up. Because of our turf type, we need prolonged stretches of warm days and nights to get the grass going. We are green, healthy and now look like other courses in the area. Come see for your self and let us know how what you think.

This is my 2nd favorite so far

Pace of Play was pretty slow that day. It took 5 hours to play 18 holes.

In the morning, there wasn't much food options available.

This course was very nice

For a Holiday weekend and excellent weather the facility was not prepared for the crowds. When we arrived 1 hour before our tee time there were no range balls or carts available. Tee times were running 15 minutes late. The course is beautiful but the pace of play was slow and no beverage cart.

Played Forest Greens on Saturday AM for only $57.00 - a bargain in the DC area. Traffic going to the course was ok, not terrible, but the drive was worth it as the course was in great shape and I played very well

Great course for the weekday. Recommend employing a course marshal on weekends to speed up play. We teed off at 2:30 pm and finished at 7:30 pm. every hole was backed up and we waiting for 15 min to tee off on some holes.
