Great course that will only become a better value once the weather turns and the fairways are able to develop. Greens are spectacular and the staff was exceptional!

Forest Greens Review

I played with a friend of mine on 1/12/14. I am a member of a country club that is run by Bill Casper, thus I had to pay only $29 for 18 and a cart along with a bucket of balls. Can't beat that. The course has some kind of bermuda blend on the fairways and because it's winter the fairway grass is dormant. There were heavy rains in the days before so it was cart path only and the course was quite wet but still playable. The greens were in really good shape considering that it's a public course and for the time of the year. I am sure that I will be back at some point considering that I live about an hour and fifteen minutes north and I come a bit south on the weekends for courses that are open during the winter. Lastly, this course is quite challenging. The first time I played it was in April of 2013 and I was a 16 handicap and I struggled to break 90. I am much better now but it can still be quite a challenge even from the white tees due to the high slope. Don't be macho and do yourself a favor and tee it forward on this course because it will make it much more enjoyable.

Greens and fairways....leaf free!

The golf course was in great condition. Nice smooth/fast greens. They keep 90% of the leafs off the fairways. Beautiful day 74* Sunny in Virginia!

The course was in good condition and the staff was friendly.

Overall the course was in good condition. Due to the holiday, a 2 hour frost delay and a promotion for veterans the pace of play was very slow. The staff was helpful for first time golfers at this facility. I would return on a day that was not as crowded to enjoy the course and the experience. The new carts were very well maintained.

Course in good shape

The wind was up so that even added to the challenges presented by Forest Greens. The course was in good shape, some of the fairways were a little thin, but all in all in good shape. The secondary rough was very unpredictable, including bare dirt and rock in some areas, but like I always say, if you don't like the conditions of the rough, hit it in the fairway. The greens were as good as I have ever played on at Forest Greens, quite fast and very true. As usual a few too many ball marks from the ignorant golfers left behind, but that is how it seems to be nowadays. I find those people as disgusting as the slow players. If you get a chance to play at Forest Greens any time soon, I would say go for it. We found a nice $50 hot deal on golfnow, but even at $60 it is a good deal.

Good Course

This is a very good course with a better than average price for the DC metro area. The course had a good variety of holes and it was in very good shape. The greatest perk of this course is that there are no homes lining the course so you truly feel isolated, and that is very difficult to find in this area.

Love this course.

Forest Greens is my "go to" course. Great value for money, challenging with very friendly staff. I rediscovered this course about three years ago and play it regularly. It has some great holes, 9, 10 and 18 being my pick. Also has some good risk reward holes, 2 and 5 being the best examples. The course has never let me down condition wise despite the huge amount of traffic it has.

Bad management

Staff OK course kept on taking tee times despite a large outing.
Our tee time kept getting pushed back a small bucket of balls would have been a nice distraction. Despite asking several times if we could go out on the back 9 which was empty we were told not to. 45 minutes later we were told to go out from the back 9.The golf carts were in ridiculous condition. No windshield no pedal rubbers and filthy like they had had not been washed for ever.covered in a film of white residue The starter was doing the best he could to keep people entertained but no help from the rest of the staff. The management company Billy Casper golf has managed to screw up 3courses that I enjoyed playing and now will never go to. I'll pay $10.00 more and be $100.00 less frustrated

Carts and announcements

I play Forest Greens golf course every now and then, but I have to say that the carts they have are some of the worst in the area. All it takes is a rag/cleaner and about 15 minutes a cart, because they haven't been cleaned ever! Also, if your going to have walkers/kids/groups then please communicate that. Had a bunch of teenagers playing a "practice round" for a match tuesday...which is no problem if I had known about it. I would have played a different course that day.

Course demands control; errant shots equal lost ball in tall, thick natural brush

Superb tees; disappointing that fact that approach areas were being aerated on this day was not flagged before I booked tee times. Also my third player (78 yr old in law ) was unable to play due to medical development but course would not credit me/ give me my $$back. I understand reservation policy but will think more carefully when using golf now to book tee times. I could have called for tee time and paid less per player

Nice challenging course

Course is a nice challenge with several holes requiring less than driver. Played on a Saturday afternoon. Waited on every tee box five to ten minutes. Very slow play and of course no Marshall in sight. Still, one of few courses in northern Virginia that has a reasonable green fee on weekend.

Excellent course and very friendly staff

I very much enjoyed played this course. It was well maintained and challenging without being unfair to a golfer that had never seen the course prior to playing (no blind shots down into hazards, etc.). The staff was very friendly and helpful. Their goal is to have you play a 4:30hr round, which we were just over on an 8:00am Saturday tee. I will most definitely be back.

Great track

Really fun layout, you will use every club in your bag. First time playing the course and it was nice that you had a few blind shot but that hidden trouble was at a minimum. Greens were very true, in great shape but more importantly, very consistent. Staff in the pro shop was very welcoming. I played with my female boss, a good golfer and she liked that it was very red tee friendly. Will definitely be going back.

TEE TO GREEN THIS COURSE WAS BEAUTIFUL.

If there was anything not up to par , it was the sand traps. Mostly packed down and no sand to carry your ball out.

A little upset about the price...

The course was in good shape. My price that I paid online was actually worse than what was offered in the club house. When I gave the cashier my receipt he asked me how much I paid for the course and he laughed. I paid an extra $10 by booking online!

The course was in perfect shape considering all the rain we have received, only one fairway closed to carts and pace of play was perfect.
