Greens in poor condition
Very disappointed to pay full price yet the greens had clearly been treated recently and not cut for a couple of days at least. Putting was hit and hope as the grass was too long. Bunkers had not been raked after previous days light rain so were hard and heavy.
Given that our tee time was after 09:30 on a dry day, we would have expected the green keepers to have been out ahead of us. As it was, we met the first green keeper tending to a green, on the 13th, close to lunch time. So much potential for a great round, but the greens let then down.
Lovely course
Friendly help staff. Other golfers really friendly. Course in lovely condition. Bar lively set up
Poor condition
Staff very friendly
Bar and lounge area spotless
Course. The main event. Poor. Very poor grass cuttings all over fairways. Greens very slow
Will. Not be back
Decent value for money. Plus decent course
For what I paid to play me and my mate was very impressed with everything the course had to offer.
After some rain over night the course was slightly flooded but after an hour or so the greens were dry.
We had a really good time
Will play again soon
Dreadful - terrible condition.
Awful - evey green was a building site. No mention when booking nor when checked in. Happy to take the money. Really poor - I am unlikely to return.
Not worth anywhere near the green fee. In my opinion the course should have been closed to visitors. To charge for the course in the condition it was in could be considered theft. I contacted the course straight after - no response after a week. Says it all. Avoid - loads better in the area for a similat cost

I have played this course in the past but it has fallen into a disgraceful state of disrepair. Do yourself a favour and avoid it.
Avoid at all costs
Paid for 18 but ended up waking off after 9. Could and should have been sent off the back 9 as there was a match being played.
I am very well aware that we have had a lot of rain in recent months, but the fact that we were struggling to find our balls in the middle of the fairways says everything. Screams of a lack machinery or staff. Greens/Tees weren’t too bad in all fairness, which begs the questions, why were the fairways soo bad.
Finally reached the 10th tee, to realise it had taken us 2 hours 20 mins. We agreed to cut across to the 17th to play the last 2 holes and call it a day only to find that the 17th was closed for some reason lol. Single holes being closed in the middle of April is criminal. So we just walked all the way back in and cut our losses.
Poorly maintained course, few facilities open.
Arrived at course to be told front 9 was closed. No mention of 17th also being closed. No advice from staff as to how to proceed as 18 holes prebooked and paid for. Course exceptionally wet, bar area closed but no mention of this in advance or when arriving at course. There were plenty of available tee slots and now I understand why. Wouldn't bother playing here again.
Washed out
Checked website and weather 6 set out to play drove 30 miles to be told course closed and has been for 9 days ?
Staff really friendly, baconSarnies excellent but to not have notification on the web page is a joke.
Won’t bother again sorry.
Fab Forrest
This is a fab track. Varied holes and a good test. Play it
Fabulous Forest Hill
A had a fab time playing this course some lovely holes presented in very decent conditions. If you haven’t played it, don’t hesitate
Good course, slow play
Nice course with lots of varied and interesting holes. The front 9 was a good pace but back 9 got very slow, we were playing in a 2 ball so I’d suggest playing this in no less than 3 balls. It’s a shame as really enjoyed the course but I would certainly go back.
Great value
Great value,
I got paired with a member (Lee) who was friendly and easy going, the staff in the pro shop where very welcoming, both of which made it a great afternoon , would definitely recommend and look forward to going back
A little disappointed that 2 holes, 15th & 17th are temporary. The pro shop only told us about hole 17, need other players to tell us how to play the 15th (from a par 4 to a very short par 3)
