Open day.

Had a good time today. Not too many people out so that was a huge plus. Ever since they lost all the trees, the rough is longer to compensate so that was hard today. Otherwise the greens are great.

Great course and appropriately challenging

Forest hills is a gem of a course and has something for just about any handicap. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens are pristine

Unprofessional Staff

I live in Augusta and I’ve been playing Forest Hills for years. The “Best Course in Augusta” is an overstatement. The course used to be stunning, but the quality and maintenance of the course and the staff has been deteriorating over the years. Now, in 2025, at an all time low. I’m here everyday and I can tell how unprofessional and untrained some of the assistant pros are. I still have a soft spot in my heart for this course and if they could clean up their image it would be 100% more enjoyable to play. I now feel uncomfortable and not inclined to return to the course. Specifically Matthew “Barman” in the pro shop.

The best golf course in the area

Of course the best public course in the área, we enjoy everything about playing there, the course is easy to play I hit 81 as a 13.9 Handicap. And it has the best views and is very quiet. (We went in June)
