About
Forest Oaks Golf Club in Lake Worth is a public course that is still one of south Florida's best-kept secrets despite having good conditions and affordable rates. The golf course offers an enjoyable round that is challenging but playable. Opened in the 1970s, it has a classic layout that showcases what Florida golf courses are known for. It is a tight layout that requires a fair amount of accuracy but beginners won't feel too out of their league. The layout offers an excellent transition from an executive course. It measures less than 6,000 yards, offering a quick and enjoyable round for more advanced players. Forest Oaks G.C. offers the quality and conditions of a country club course but the friendly and casual atmosphere of a public facility.

Friendly staff, poor course
We had to wait too often/ the staff was friendly- the course not in a good condition
Always a go to course
Fairways need a little love, but very consistent course. Could have a ranger speed things up but always at or under 4 hours.
Great local course
Greens were great. A few more tight lies than I like, but overall, the course was in very good shape. All the staff, and the guy they matched me up with, were super nice. Definitely on my list of 2-4 times per month courses.
Golfnow rated this course at 3 1/2 stars.
I can barely give it 2 stars. The course condition was poor. The fairways were mostly dirt.
The penalty areas were poorly marked.
Some holes were fairly nice but others were crammed between trees with drainage ditches.
The only thing that saved the day was beautiful Florida weather.

It worth the money or time to play
Course is in really bad shape. No attempt to maintain the fairways. It is like hitting off cement. Greens are the best part of the course and even they are just ok. Would not play here again
Really fun course.
Excellent for all levels looking for a challenge. Narrow fairways so you've got to really keep balls in control when teeing off. The staff is really friendly, excellent customer service.
Good local course to relax on
The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed and the course is ok - for the money it's a good deal.
The pace, depending on the day, is slower because the players are like you and me - average. The course is ok - nothing spectacular or noteworthy but the greens are nice and there are a few challenging holes.
Would I call it a hidden gem? Almost. But it's worth playing at least once. I'll be back...
Challenging course
Professional and friendly staff. Today was very chilly day but always fun. Greens look real good. Fairways are tight in some locations and wide open in some. It makes it very challenging but fair. A must for any high and low handicap players and challenge yourself on this course. Best green fees in town. High handicap players bring extra golf balls.
Had fun
Course in good shape greens were true, enjoyed playing with the gentleman that was paired with us, all around good time will be back

Thank you for your terrible comments. I beg to differ. Are greens are some of the best in the county. Are Tees are in great shape. Are fairways are ok. We are $45 at 7 am. Go find another course better for the money.
