Forest Park Golf Course / Hawthorne
This is a decent track. They recently aerated the greens so obviously an impact on putting but I enjoyed the layout. The track is flat and well designed. Decent golf shop and restaurant as well. Overall I’d recommend it.
St Louis vacation
Great course, great area around ST. LOUIS. If in the Delmar/ zoo area it is an amazing area to check out.
Hi Fs0YPPNhjSOZwbSH3NZh, thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the course and the area around St. Louis. If you have any suggestions for how we can make your next visit even better, please let us know. We appreciate your feedback!
Good public course
Course conditions were good. Greens were tough. A lot of ball marks on the greens. Not much the staff can about that. Maybe signage reminding golfers to repair their ball marks? Also, better signage moving from different nines.
Hi, thank you for your feedback on the course conditions. We appreciate your suggestions for signage improvements and will definitely take them into consideration. We hope to see you back on the course soon for an even better experience.
Thank you for reviewing us, hope to see you again soon.
Thanks for the 4 stars! We hope you’ll visit us again soon!
Always Fun
Great round today with my 89 year old father. Retired USGA rules official shot a legit 81 playing the ball as it lies from the forward tees! 7:30 tee time. Started a little early and finished in just over three and a quarter hours. Pro shop was well staffed and friendly. Course is in very good condition overall and I think it gets a ton of play. Way too many unrepaired ballmarks on greens. Fixed 5-6 on each green. C'mon people - do better! The course is showing signs of needing infrastructure maintenance. Lots of fairly serious stormwater erosion along edges of some holes, cart paths showing a lot of wear and erosion damage. Day to day routine maintenance is very good. Greens were medium pace and fairly consistent. Some zoyzia fairways were hard, dry and tight. Unusual yellow tinge - should be doing better in this heat. This is a fun historic track that is worth your time and attention.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We're thrilled to hear that you and your father had a great round on our course. We appreciate your observations. We are working towards repairs to the eroded cart path. We hope to see you back soon!
I love Forest Park!
This redesign of the classic StL Golf course is just fantastic! Always love playing at Forest Park!
3 hour and 15 minutes to play nine holes
3.15 to play nine holes on a Saturday morning. Ridiculous
Great Course
A beautiful course that whines throughout many city features like Art Hill, the history museum and Lindell Blvd.
