Nice Course, Good Deal

Nice course. It is a bit short. It was a beautiful day and the course is in pretty good shape. The people ahead were slow and held us up the entrée game. There were no marshals, no beverage cart and the bar and restaurant were not open.
We will play again as the deal was good and a fun course.
There are 27 holes so you can play nine even if there is a tournament

Nice Liesure Round

A great course for your novice golfer. A little short with no par 5's but still has some challenge. The 11th hole with the island green tests your mid irons. Some of the greens are tricky.

Review

Although it was extremely windy and there were few on the coarse, we found it wasn't worth playing. 5 holes didn't have Flags because the holes were plugged up not allowing the flag sticks to stay in the holes. The flag sticks were just laying on the greens and you didn't have any idea what you were aiming at with your approach shot. Most greens were not recently cut and were completely covered with leaves. They had also been aerated and sanded making putting all but impossible. The fairways were very wet, covered in leaves and the second cut was extremely long resulting in many lost balls. We had to play cart path only, all-in-all, we didn't feel we got any value for money, even at a fire sale pricing.This may be a very nice coarse in summer months but it should not have been open considering the lack of maintenance,

It probably better to play in the summer. Leaves were everywhere and greens were aerated. I will come back.

Perfect Day

Good weather, good friends and a great day on a beautiful course, who could ask for more? Forest Golf & CC is a very picturesque course. Nature every where you look, plant life, water, fox and other wildlife. The course can be challenging espesically the water holes and the island green so take extra balls.

Windy

We played the course on a very windy day. It seemed every hole was being played into it. Course was in average condition. Greens could be in better shape but a very good value for the money.

Great for irons!

Course is in great condition other than some of their weedy bunkers! Drive the green for quite a few holes. If you are a long driver, you may overhit their greens. Great for irons as you can use them quite a bit! Restaurant is decent too!

Will play again!

Good short course

Though not advertised as such, this is what I would call an executive 18 course. No need for a driver on these holes. Great chance to work on your short game. As always, first time around lets you assess where you should have played your shots. Certainly a fun course, and good value at Hot Deal prices. Lots of contour on the greens so beware the dreaded 3-putt.

Quick and Amazing Early Day Round

Booked the deal for a Friday morning at 8:12am. Arrived early and was permitted to tee off early (7:45am). The course was in excellent condition. The 18 hole course is fairly short, only used driver on 5 holes however a good tee shot is rewarded with short approach to green. The greens have moderate to severe undulation. Thoroughly enjoyed the round and will play again. Paid $25 included taxes for 18 holes and a cart.
