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.
Dogwood 9
Played a twilight round on Dogwood. Course was in really good shape but was a bit backed up for a Tuesday evening. If they keep course conditions up through the heat of the summer I’ll be pleased.
Greens and bunkers made the round less than ideal
Greens had recently been punched. Unlike most courses Forest Park doesn't seem to sand them down afterwards so the ball bounces all over the place. It's like playing a game of plinko. While I understand Greens need to be aerated there are ways to mitigate the impact for players. Bunkers were hard like concrete and many had standing water in them from the rain the day before. The course is fun though and it's located in a neat spot. I'll be back!
Classic golf course in the heart of the city of St. Louis.
Yes, its noisy, especially on a Saturday morning with plenty of sun. It was a windy day and temps in the high 50's, The course is a classic and never easy. I enjoyed it even though my score of 97. Great to get out on 4/20/24!!
Recently Aerated, Overpriced & Conditioning Not The Best
We played the Redbud/Dogwood nines, which are the two nines you want to play. The course gets a lot of play and is a decent course.
I thought the price of $50 was too high for early April, considering the course was recently aerated. I played Far Oaks a couple days earlier this week and it is a much better course. Has better design, conditioning and cost less than $50.
I thought the conditioning had slipped some. Several tees not in good shape. Most of the fairways were decent but there were some bad spots.
The tree by the green on hole #8 on Redbud needs to be trimmed. When pin is on the left, your approach shot will hit the tree limbs.
Hi trhjCi3pXQnvaN3tjKqk,
Thanks for the positive review! Hope the next time you're out we can make it a five star experience. Hope to see you soon!
