Nice challenge
Nice course . Great challenge from the longer tee boxes. Nice pactice facilities. Clubhouse is outdated but has everything . Come for the beautiful golf course and the friendly people and you’ll have a great time.
Nice park for golfing
Hidden gem in put backyard
Kings Forest never disappoints
wish the greens were a little better but its early.
Bunkers need some
consistency but LOVE coming back to this track
First outdoor round at home
I arrived an hour early at the club. The check in staff were great . I had time to practice putting and chipping.
We played the last day for walking only so it was a nice pace. I was tied after walking that beautiful course.
There was an unexpected surprise of wildlife through the round, a deer, a turkey, and a fox examined my ball after a nice drive.
But when the driver carts come out it would be hard to walk a round with them wizzing around. A great time.
Wet
Very wet conditions after rain *no power carts allowed* after rain.
This is all to be expected after wet weather
King of Hamilton
Great course. played in late April and the course was in very good shape. Tee boxes a little rough. Overall very good. Will definitely be back even though over an hour away .
Great round at Kings Forest in November
can’t believe we are able to play in November The only issue was that there is no sand in the sand traps. This defeats the purpose of having a well laid out course
Over Paid
The so called hot deal was higher than what I would have paid by going to the course directly.The course was offering a senior fall rate which was not reflected on GolfNow.
Golf Course with best Layout
It was always enjoyable to play at King’s Forest golf course. The staff is very cooperative. Both front nine and back nine are challenging with excellent layout and some level of difficulty. Also fir the given free fee it was afffordable via GolfNow.
Municipal Course
Great track, fairways were in great shape but the greens were in rough shape. Repair your ball marks on the greens people it isn't rocket science.
Lovely track!
This course could be outstanding except for the condition of the carts and some of the greens could use some TLC. That said, it is almost the end of the season here.
Great course
Don’t play here if you can’t hit fairly straight or you’ll be constantly looking for your ball. A really fun and challenging course, very enjoyable and beautiful scenery.
