Great Course

Great conditions on a challenging course. Included small bucket of balls and a hotdog and drink making it a good value for a Friday round.

Be very specific

I called ahead and asked when they greens had been sanded and aerated last on Monday before booking the tee time and they said they hand been in the last month then asked how the greens were looking and they said great. Told them I was about to book and they said great. Show up two days later and the greens are sanded. I get it’s a part of the business but really frustrating when they I try to avoid the situation and they know that and just let it happen anyway.

Beautiful course, challenging to an average player with variety of shots necessary to play well. Don’t just pull your driver

Played from Blues, realized couldn’t drive on most holes to score. Had to navigate course with good shot selection.

But unhappy with lack of good variety at the clubhouse. They serve only hotdogs and some kind of sausage wrap

I played Forest Creek for the first time in 10 years or so. GPS carts were the biggest change. Course was in great condition. Pace of play was not good. On the back 9, we waited on 5-6 holes roughly 5-15 minutes each for groups ahead of us.

18 holes took 5 1/2 hours.

Forest is always a gem!

Played here many times, it's in really good shape. The wetness this season has allowed elite conditions at most courses; hence the crazy prices, but it's everywhere. It's worth noting that your fee includes a bucket, beer and brat.

We played at 7 am and finished in 4 hours; could've finished quicker but that was our fault and the group behind us was a half half back the whole time - we let a twosome run through.

Forest has solid fairways and greens are running really well, getting faster and faster. This is my go to place outside of my local course. Staff and everything else is great!
