Forest Hill Golf Club

Facilities and environment are excellent

Fairways were not cut short enough, old grass cuttings left on fairway to

Tee boxes were very rough and too long grass

Greens - played true but condition was understandable for time of year due to maintenance requirements to get them ready for the winter etc.

Bunkers in good condition

Lay out of course good, some lovely interesting holes

Has really high potential to be a lovely course, but I feel let down by condition of fairways and tee boxes.

Great setting and a really good and challenging lay out where no 2 holes are the same. Par 3s are a real test and as for the mighty 565 yard par 5 on the back 9- you know you’ve played at the end of it.

Areas to improve:

- All greens were very dry- despite the fact that we hadn’t had much sun for days. As a result I felt them a little ‘furry’ and didn’t have much stop on them

- some tea boxes were in a relatively poor state- one on the back 9 in particular was more weeds than grass- but perfectly usable

- a couple of fairways could have done with a cut and were quite heavy in places- the first cut of the rough needed attention too

However, it is a lovely course and these are very minor issues- we will definitely be back!

Miserable in the shop, members seemed very frosty and attention to detail around the course is poor.

Worm casts and pitch marks all over the greens and fairways need a good cut. For me, I’d sit the keeper down and ask some tough questions.

£15-17 is about the right money for this course.

Course has plenty of challenging holes, more so on the back 9, but also there are enough holes to shoot low on.

Really enjoyed playing here for the first time. An interesting course with plenty of hazards and a decent mix of distances on each hole.

Although I didn’t stay for a drink or food, the facilities seemed excellent. Signs on the 9th tee with a phone number to call to have food and drinks ready when you finish that hole is a great touch.

Staff in the shop were friendly and helpful, although they are strict with the dress code (one of my partners got told off as his shirt wasn’t tucked in).

Pace of play was a slight issue, but I can hardly blame anyone apart from the couple holding everyone up by not letting anyone play through. It meant a lot of bunching up on holes which made me feel like I had to rush my game but all in all a really enjoyable round and I’ll definitely play here again.

Really nice looking course to play on. They are doing lots of work there and will be much better when finished. The bunkers aren't in play at the moment which is a shame and the rough is very unforgiving. Anything slightly off the the fairway could easily get lost.

Got a hot deal off teeofftimes (£16) and was pleasantly surprised by the quality/condition of the course. The greens were superb and the fairways well tended,in fact the whole course was better than I remembered.

The 1st and 10th have now swapped since I last visited but I think it works better.

Would recommend to anyone who wants a great course at a reasonable price.

A lovely course and hard working grounds staff. Nice greens and it looks like there is going to be some real investment over the coming months. Working hard with outside facilities for refreshments in the lovely weather.

I HAVE NEVER FELT THAT I HAVE NEEDED TO ADD COMMENTS BEFORE BUT >>

Followed a slow 2 ball but then found out why - as they were let through by a four ball. Never seen such slow play

For example : - when playing a par three - it took one player 3 shots to get into a green side bunker - and then 7(seven!!) shots to get out before three putting on the green whilst the other 3 looked on before holing out themselves. - astonished!

We were then accused by the pair following us of jumping into the course at 10 because that was the only reason that there was slow play. I took offence at this!

Whilst we were playing the same par three a single player walked up our hole and then was standing on the next tee when we got there and said" I have a hospital appointment and so i am overtaking you !" No please or thank you.

Must have been a bad day - never had this happen before or are there local rules that we did not know about? Motorbike trolleys aside! lovely course and very pleasant staff in the pro shop and on the course!

Warm welcome from friendly staff good price match on clubs, good value course. A long course nice and open.16to17 not marked well but members helpful when you look lost, twice. Snacks and drinks at 9th &18th but miss a draught pint.I would recommend this course.

A long course, wide open fairways but grass a bit long( could be to avoid drying out) hard to see ball. Very friendly staff and players. They do a good snack and drinks but I miss a pint of draught beer.I would recommend this course to all golfers.

The pro & shop were welcoming and willing to make a good deal for you, new clubs ,putters etc.

Very impressed with this course, the holes are all different which makes you think more about club selection. Really enjoyed it here, will be back for sure.

After Friday's all day downpour, a bit wet underfoot, but some interesting holes. Well worth a visit
