Forest Oaks Golf Club

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.

Staff is very accommodating
If you book on GolfNow app, do not use the map it feature, it is not the correct directions. Pace was slow, but we didn’t have to play with strangers
The course has been sold to a developer to build homes ,so thats why it looks the way it does,it's like playing in a cow pasture
Great warm up
Hadn’t played in months s d needed to find a place with a low bar to find my swing. It is great for that. Or if u just want to play for cheap money.
You Get What You Pay For
Friendly staff, good food, cheap prices for the tee time and concessions. The course layout is unique, the back 9 rips right through the back yards of condos. A carefully placed tee shot off the roof of one of those condos will help carry the ball and bounce it back into the fairway.
The layout has potential but the main issue was just the quality of the grounds. The greens were tiny and in poor shape. Tee boxes were bumpy and missing grass, fairways were also in poor condition.
I'd happily pay an extra $20 to $40 to go play elsewhere with better conditions.
Shot a 78.
Nice Course
Nice course. Fair amount of water. Variety of holes.
