Thank you for the 5 star review! See you again soon.
Challenging Course with beautiful elevations
Found the course challenging witth lots of hills, sand traps and other hazards. Nice looking course with fantastic elevations with view of the city. The course play started out quite well but seemed to slow down as the day went on.
Overall a nice experience, but would need to play the course a few times to get used to the layout.
Thank you for the kind words. We are happy you enjoyed the courses. Hope to see you again soon!
Course Gets Plenty Of Play, Always In Decent Shape
It always amazes me how much play the Forest Park Golf Courses get and the course is always is good shape. They are a very well-organized unit there also.
I played the Dogwood/Hawthorne nines. Dogwood starts out hilly on the first 3 holes and then it is flat for the remainder. The Hawthorne nine is completely flat.
The only complaints I have of the course is the high weeds/native grass that is in front of the holes. Really takes away from the beauty of the holes and makes the hole a blind shot. Examples are: Dogwood 7, 8, Hawthorne 2 & 5.
I thought the price of $68 was on the high side. I can play Spencer T. Olin in the $50 range and the best course in the area (Annbriar) for $75.
They still use the the small flag on the flagstick to indicate front, middle or back. Please go with a colored flagstick flag approach, like most courses do,
Thank you for the review. We will share your feedback with our team. Look forward to seeing you again soon.
Awesome course
Some of the best greens I’ve played on. The views of the park are second to none. Highly recommended!
Thank you for the 5-star review!
Great City Golf
Beyond the friendly staff and pristine facilities, the course offers lush fairways, well maintained tee boxes, and fast greens that make you work! The layout on any of the three 9hole courses is varied as well as interesting . Great views of the park and city await. Pre 7am tee off is a plus!
Thank you so much for all the nice comments and review. We hope to see you again soon.
Good but overscheduled public course
Tee times are always booked back to back to back here, leading to some bunching up if any group along the line has a bad hole. Other than that, a good public course with multiple options
Redbud
Course is in great shape but the pace of play was awful.
Enjoyed this 9
Played it as front nine and it was a good challenge, especially the way I hit the ball@
Greens had been aerated recently, as what happens this time of year, so played 2 putt maximum, which occasionally do in this situation .
Thank you Danny for the 5 stars. We hope you to see you again soon!
