Course Highlights
Forest Hills delivers an engaging layout with challenging blind shots, risky approach holes, and a memorable water-fronted finishing hole. Exceptionally welcoming staff and strong value for money make this hilly Forest of Dean course worth the trip.

Perfect weather
Walked

Great course, hilly but not too Ridiculous

First time playing here with my 68 year old father when every other course around is either half shut or not open at all due to recent wet weather. Worries that we wouldnt be allowed trolleys but amazinly only buggies were banned! Greens - pin placement the day i played was very hard, lots cut on the front edge or the hardest point on the Greeen with the most angles - maybe it was a competion time recently. They were bobbly but run fast for wet greens, can image they are pretty slick when summertime comes around. The course is hilly, but with only three really steep bits, the rest is more than manageable. Would recommend.

Windy weather
Walked

Despite the recent rain, course played well.

Well it's the end of January, it's been a week of wet weather and still you can rely on Forest Hills to be playable and to allow you to use trolleys.

We were stuck behind quite a slow 4-ball which meant waiting on most tees. On arrival at the 10th tee they'd only just walked off it but no offer to let us play through!!! We could have finished a good 20 minutes earlier had they had the courtesy to let quicker groups through.
