Forest City National Golf Club

First time playing this course.Was fortunate enough to be linked with a good player who knew the course which helped a lot in knowing how to play individual holes. One 100 yd. par 3 hole-the rest involved lots of trees and sand with water mixed in on a number of holes on the back. Lots of doglegs to consider and risk/reward choices. Good facility with driving range and undulating practice greens that mirrored the greens on-course. Well-maintained course and pace of play was reasonably good.
Tough to find but a pleasure to play.

This course offers some challenging holes for all handicap levels. Pace of play was the only deterrent.

The course is in beatiful shape. There are huge greens, deep bunkers and strategically placed ponds. This is a very scenic course with tree lined fairways that still provide you with a spacious felling. The two nines are different. The front nine starts with a more relaxed, lets hit the ball, there's lots of room out there feelling to the course, (but don't get to comfortable there's trouble out there), then it slowly starts to challenge you. Now you make the turn to the back nine and you better start planning your shots carefully. There are plenty of chances to shoot for the pins and have the ball stick on the greens, but don't get too aggressive with the back pin placements, anything bouncing over the greens is in trouble most of the time. The GPS is very helpful on this course. Look at it and it could save you 5 strokes.

Played many times in the previous years, and was the first time this year. The course is in good shape, although many unrepaired divots on the fairways and ballmarks on the greens were present as one would expect from a public course. The greens need to be mowed and rolled so that they are faster and more consistent. It was a very enjoyable round as the layout is very good.

My foursome teed off on a warm, Friday afternoon. The course itself was very dry with balls landing in the rough and running through the green. There was no beer cart or ranger to be seen, and multiple calls to the clubhouse went unanswered. I have played this course many many times, and the last few years it has steadily been going downhill, both in quality of course and service. Not worth the price they charge anymore.

Marshall was looking for golf balls. Saw him empty two milk crates into his car when we made the turn. 3 groups on eleven, no one else on any hole until 16 ( checked on GPS). Saw cart girl once on hole 4 and that was it. Too many kids running the place. Service is getting worse and worse.

Didn't realize I got on wrong website...charged $4.50 for something that should have been free If I had right website!

As usual, FCN was in very good shape. Greens were not super fast, but consistent. Only complaint is pace of play - a little slow for my preference.

I paid $35 through Golf Now - got 18 holes on a really good course, cart and range balls - overall - super deal.

I thought it was a nice course. Lots of space and well maintained. I just didn't think it was special, but it's a good course.

The course was in excellent shape and I think was a great value considering cart, range, and GPS were all included in the price.
My one major complaint though was pace of play. And it was mainly due to the group in front of us, well one player in particular. It all could have been alleviated had we seen the marshall any time at all between the 1st and 11th holes! Our front nine was about 2:45 and was slightly better on the back once the marshall encouraged the group ahead of us to pick it up. But too many needless waits broke my rhythm and left me disappointed. I don't expect that would be everyone's experience though. We just got (un)lucky.

We have played here numerous times, never boring. Good pace of play. Rangers were out trying to find out who was throwing sunflower seed shells on the greens, they swept any off the greens that they found.
Staff is doing a great job on improving the whole experience.

Greens were average I would say but it is an enjoyable golf course. Challenging without being excruciating. Lots of variety in the holes. It is worth the trip

The course offers a nice variety and challenges of holes and was in nice shape tee to green. The pro shop staff could be more friendly and offer more information about the practice area and course to people who have never played there before. The halfway house and cart girls were very friendly.

had a great time, staff was friendly. would recommend this to everyone to go play

I really like this course and for some reason I play my best here. The only negative I have to report is the condition of the greens. They are healthy looking and quite challenging, but the grass is long for a green and this results in slow greens which are susceptible to spike marks and pronounced grains. So not only are they slow, but bumps and spike marks make it impossible to get a true roll. I have played here early in the morning before too much traffic, they are still slow but at least the roll is true. A good course that could be great if the state of the greens were improved.

Course was in great shape. Busy but kept going at a steady pace. Course setup is great for a wide range of handicappers.
Refreshment cart visits were very friendly & timely (4 visits for 18 holes). Still repairing some sand traps from our recent rain storms.

For $36, this course is a must play. Well maintained. Greens are in great condition.

Very good course. Tees, fairways & greens are well maintained.
First and second cuts of rough are playable. some fescue and timothy if you stray to far off the maintained areas.
Pace of play was an issue. just over 5 hours to play 18 holes - way too slow!!!!!!!!!!

Course is well layed out with some challenging tee-shots as well as some open fairways that allow more room to let it rip. The fairways and greens were in great shape. The small size and challenging contour of many greens made you think twice about approach shots and added a few shots to the total # of chips+putts. Great experience overall

One of the best public courses in the area.
You will love it.
