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.

Forest Oaks G.C. offers the quality and conditions of a country club course but the friendly and casual atmosphere of a public facility.

Unique Layout & Design
Great course for those looking for a challenging test but not overly long. Driver is not required but can be rewarded on some holes. I did not have my regular set of clubs with me. So, this course was a good fit for the clubs I was using and allowed me to use my feel and creativity around the greens. Just bring a couple extra balls. The first few holes are tight and balls will be lost if not in play.
Summary: A great course to begin or try out for a golf excursion.
Needs a little TLC
This is a great course for the money, and it played fairly quick. But it does need some work. The staff in the clubhouse was very courteous.
Tight! Fast Play! Cheap!
Very tight fairways, almost every hole involves water. Fast play due to no body being out there except for a couple. Course condition average. greens slow due to not being cut low.
some like it hottttt
95 degrees , teed off by myself at 2:50, finished by 4:50
Thats right, 2 hours.
My go to course! Great people work there, very accommodating.
Value play
Tight little course.that is a good value but plenty of opportunity to find trouble. Staff was great , pace of play was good enough. Will definitely play here again if I have the opportunity
Great Value
Great value for the price. Two of us played mid day during the week and finished in under 3 hours. Really not much to complain about. Fairways are tight everywhere. But you will use every club in the bag. I will play here every chance I get.
Great layout. Greens in great shape. For the money a bargain
Enjoyable
My wife and I enjoyed playing this course, not being great golfers, we found it to meet our type of play. There’s no denying it could use some “TLC”. However for the value it was well worth playing here. Staff very friendly.
The End is Near
Not much to say as this course is scheduled to be closed. It’s obvious Regular maintenance has been lacking. Very friendly staff and pace of play it was outstanding because no one is playing the Course
Rough course but the greens are good
It's short and tight, poor tee boxes and fairways, lot's of water and drainage ditches. Greens were in good shape. Plus there was group of old duffers who joined with other old duffers and there were 6 carts ahead of us for a while...really?
