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.

Forest Oaks has never charged an online fee. I think your getting confused with the booking fee from Golfnow.

Great Value

Went out and played with my brother this past weekend. This course has come a long way since previous years. Greens are coming into shape and fairways and tee boxes look great. The staff is very hospitable and the prices for beer and food are the best in town. Pace of play is very convenient. Keep up the great work!!

Thanks for the feedback. We like comments that are specific ( good and bad) so should you return please tell us what we can do to improve. The ten prior reviews to yours really liked the place which leaves us scratching our heads. Hope you have a good summer and come back and try it again.

Greens and fairways

Greens were fast and in good condition fairways were narrow with water and mature trees in strategic placements, also fairways were a little crispy front nine was better.

A challenging course that in parts is forgiving. Lots of water but can be avoided using the white tees. Greens are in excellent condition. The wild life is a pleasant distraction if your game is failing. Would definitely return for another round.

A gem

New owners for the past two years have made this course a real gem. People are very friendly and they even make fresh cooked to order hamburgers and hot dogs! Course is well maintained and fun to play. Challenging because of the narrow fairways and water but the greens are in excellent shape.

Great

This is a short but tricky little course. The course is coming right along and the greens are rolling very nicely. They still have a good amount of work to do, especially around the edges, but it has come a long way and it is certainly worth a visit. They have fixed the greens and fairways and thats the most important. The value was outstanding! A manager or maybe it was the superintendent asked us our opinion of the course and we all agreed it was playing nicely. 6 par 5's, 6 par 4's, and 6 par 3's, not something you see/play every day.

Good Course

Took my wife and kid to this one. Both are beginners and we had a great time because the course offered all three of us a different challenge. My challenge was to hit straight tee shots, and hit approach shots crisp. My wife and son were challenged with making pars. We all met our challenges fairly well! I only lost 1 ball :) and my playing partners wracked up 13 pars between the two of them. The folks here are great people, and the course was in great shape! Someone said the tee boxes were sandy, but I didn't experience that. The rough was perfect, it was long and balls would sit down in them to punish you for a missed shot. The bermuda rough around the greens made you dig a ball out and make you consider that your ball would not check from its lie. Great challenge. The greens were full with no bare spots, but a wee bit fuzzy so the roll wasn't quite true. It was great for my wife and son, but I would prefer to see the greens get a mow and a roll to make them a bit tighter. That wouldn't keep me from coming back again though, which I fully intend to do again soon when my wife and kid need another lesson. :D

Very tight course.

Under new management. The owner I talked to was very friendly and seems to be doing a very good job bringing this course around. When I played the greens were in good shape. The practice putting green was flawless, but I think the greens on the course were redone more recently and need a little more time, but they were still good. Fairways were okay, definitely decent. Layout is very tricky, has some corky holes. Overall good value. Give it some time and I think this place will be in very good condition.

New Management?

Half the course was closed without notice during booking. The greens are in rough shape; the rough=lost ball most of the time.

I'll give it a few months. Just remember this differently under previous mgt-summer wasn't the best but season was definitely better previously.

Tough and narrow

Not i the ideal course for myself being a novice as you can lose your ball very easily if not in the fairways in which are very narrow. The light rough beside the fairway will eat your ball if you don't keep a close eye also making it challenging to hit the irons. The staff were very friendly and the greens played well. I am under the impression that the course has recently been reclaimed by new owners and I will definitely go back and give it a second chance in the future giving them time to develop it properly.

Playing For The First Time

Only played 9 holes because of my partner's schedule. Being the first time played and a high handicap golfer I found the course somewhat challenging. We were told that the course is under new management and they are rehbilating the course. The greens were recently aerated and the fairways well maintained. Look forward to going back as it was a great value.
