Just passin' thru!

I was on my way to Sarnia and wanted to play a round and had heard about Forest Golf and Country Hotel. The course was in reasonable condition with slower greens. The course is short but has some tricky/strange holes. You won't need to bring your driver. The hotel on sight would make it a good place for a overnight golf stay.

beautiful course

This course is laid out quite nicely. The grass was green and plush but nicely trimmed. It makes for a nice day of golf. Some of the holes are a bit challenging but nothing too stressful. The only unfortunate thing is that, because of the covid-19, they have taken out all the portable toilets, which makes it a rather uncomfortable experience for some. With hand sanitizers and wash stations, I can't see why they couldn't have at least one open half way through play. It was also a bit more expensive than normal but, again, I'm assuming it's because of the trying times right now. Otherwise, this is one of our favourite courses.

Stay away!

Conditions are poor. The course is way overpriced even for walking. The injury is the $27.14 cart charge for one. Can't believe Golf Now has this listed. Big fail. Won't be renewing.

A nice short course for beginners / intermediate players

All in all, the course was quite nice. Greens were soft and quite quick. Tee blocks were good, flat condition. Some fairways need some work but most were in decent shape. The rough wasn't really rough so that helped me. The knocks on the course are I'd like to see a couple longer holes. Also, the bunkers and really bunkers anymore. At one point they were but now they're just weeds. The 11th hole is very pretty, but again, the bunker off the back of the green isn't a bunker anymore which kinda kills how great this hole is.
