Good Course

I booked Kings Forest a while ago . I was surprised that they were offering cart with green fee but I booked it anyways thinking that it may be right this time. I receive a email from Golf Now Support saying that it will be cart path only . This is the second time this has happened and because of this one of my players had to cancel. I received no discount or refund from getting no cart . This is the 2nd time at Kings Forest . #NOT IMPRESSED

Beautiful Course!

Good course! Great value!

******Important: ******

If you need a power cart call in advance to confirm they are permitting them on the front 9. They were not the day we booked due to course conditions and my friend could not play due to a medical issue requiring him to use a cart. Very disappointing!
