Forest Hill Golf Club

Friendly staff let us tee off earlier which was great but unfortunately due to all amenities closing before we was going to finish, we was unable to make use of a cart. Course condition was OK but I think because of the recent hot weather the fairways were more like first cut and the greens were quite slow as they have been left to grow out slightly. I don't know how but there seemed to be range balls all over the course and the 10th was peppered with hundreds of them, I played a shot off the tee which landed in the slight rough where it would normally be very easy to find the but because of the vast amount of range balls eventually gave up and played a drop. I would recommend as I think the later tee time we played effected our experience.

Really enjoyed playing here. Course is lovely and kept in great condition. The greens were in excellent condition - massive well done to the greenkeepers!

Course not in the best of condition. Greens very sandy. Many fairways spoilt by sand covering what I assume are new drainage channels. Some of the tees also in poor condition.

10th hole was closed due to the damage to the netting along the driving range, so to compensate the 11th was split into 2 holes with a temporary green. Bizarrely the sign informing you of this is not until after you have teed off on the 11th, thinking it was a long par 5, when in fact it was a short par 4.

Greeted by a very grumpy member on the tee at the start of the round who was moaning that we were teeing off late, as he was playing in a competition behind us. We explained to him we had to wait for the group in front to tee off and clear the fairway, but he was not happy and kept up his moaning. By the time we made the second green, he hadn’t even made it to the first green. So much for him being in a hurry!

Clubhouse bar was closed by 7pm, even though there were still plenty of players on the course.

All in all a disappointing visit.

Everything great apart from being paired up with two others to make a foursome

We played here after getting back from a month in Spain & the cold weather was a bit of a shock. The ground conditions were wet but the course was still playable. The pro was extremely helpful & friendly & the members we encountered on the course were also very friendly.

The golf course was very wet and on more than one occasion I found myself in standing water.

The clubhouse is no longer a clubhouse in the traditional sense. It lacks the vibe that a clubhouse should have. Everywhere is geared towards functions, wedding receptions, wakes etc. The furniture is tacky, the lights are grotesque…..chandeliers in a clubhouse?

All greens open and vert good test of course was very wet in places but it is February!

My third time to the course this year, can see its every bit as good as it was in the summer, even with the bad resent weather, greens although winter treated, we’re on the hole good, excuse the pun, only disappointment was the 588 par 5, 11th was shortened to a par 3 for drainage works,

Other than that, just go and enjoy a round on a great course for all levels of player

Unfortunately we experienced slow play finding ourselves behind 4 elderly members who did not want us to play through.

Also there is major work taking place on two greens and there are two temporary pin flags in place on temporary greens. This spilt the two feature holes considerably, and I would have thought that this would have been pointed out to me on check in and also a further reduced green fee introduced.
