Pleasantly surprised
Upon approaching the course I was concerned as the parking lot and "clubhouse" were far worse facilities than I expected. But the course itself was the real surprise. It is well kept. The fairways are narrow and challenging. If your ball stays dry should it veer off the fairway, the rough is generally playable. The traps are groomed. The greens are small and challenging. Most, if not all are elevated and sloped.
All in all, a great course, especially for the price.

Friendly people , very Challenging course had a great time
Forest Oaks
Greens played faster than they looked, good condition. Fairways could use a little more grass, good layout, nice mixture of short and long holes, straight and dog legs. Good deal for the money!
Nice golf but a little expensive
All the greens were in very good shape and lots of water in the course, so lost lots of balls
Great place to work on your long and narrow game!
I love this course, even though it's much older it presents a real value to the beginner intermediate and even advanced. It requires you to hit balls not only long, but very straight because of the narrow fairways. Great value for the money, especially if you don't want to pay ridiculously expensive green fees..
The vibe is always really good in the clubhouse and everyone is super nice. Definitely go here!
Pace of play terrible !
There was a group of 39 people in front of us, some hole took 24 minutes. (I counted) I can understand that these elderly people (like me) can be happy to be in Florida and healthy (all Canadians like us ) but it's not a reason to forget what is etiquette at golf , we were not capable of waiting after every shot, we left at hole # 11, fortunately I had a good price on golfNow
Great place
A friend and I travel from opposite directions to meet halfway at Forest Oaks, the best early early Tee times. It’s our spot.
Average
The course is extremely tight all over, and water comes into play on most holes. The fairways and teeboxes are not in very good shape. The price for golf was about $45. The staff very friendly.
good round
The golf course has no range and the conditions in general I would call ok, the clubhouse is very old - but it has a great atmosphere as the staff is very friendly and helpful. Although the fairways can be a little worn out in some places the greens are in very good shape. The course itself is short and tight and kind of quirky but I truly enjoy the challenge. At this time of the year it is a very good value and would recommend it for a casual round.
