Super fast green!!! Long course. Excellent test.
I haven’t played Forrest Hills in over 10 years. This course will challenge any golfer. Greens were so fast!!! Course has some serious elevation changes. Local course knowledge would have really helped my club selection. I can’t wait to play this Gem again.
We're glad you enjoyed your 5-star experience with us, Roderick2752901. Please comment or reach out to our team in the golf shop to let us know more about your round at Forest Hills Golf Club!
Mature Traditional Gem ... alittle rainy.
Early teetime, 10am ... paired up with a couple young local TV reporters. Spacious, well manicured, elevation changes everywhere. Very enjoyable. Nice fairways .. nice greens. Rained alittle on holes 3 thru 7. Got alittle bunched up on the back nine. Not a fan of the GPS system which kept shutting down our cart even when we were still on the cartpaths! Very strange. All and all a pretty good day. You could just "feel" the history ... would DEF play again.

Best Course of a lifetime
I drove up from Florida to meet my Uncles, Brother and a Friend. They were coming from Atlanta and Cooumbia. Everyone was impressed they were all impressed with the beauty and challenge of this course. Great job.

Forest Hills
Course in excellent condition. Typical Donald Ross undulating fast greens. Course is an adequate test of ability

Best greens in the area
No public course and very few private courses in the Aiken-Augusta have better greens. Greens are smooth, fast and consistent from green to green. Don’t believe the complaints about unfair undulations. In Aiken in particular, the greens are far more undulating and very grainy at most places. At Forest Hills, the ball goes exactly where you aim it and strike it. No surprises. During Masters Week, the shop told us the greens were rolling 12.5. I’d say the greens run 11-12 on most days. Of course I like quick greens AO to me they are perfect. Some tee boxes are being resodded. Otherwise tees and fairways are in great shape. So are roughs and sand traps. What I like most is the course generally attracts a better caliber player. Not necessarily ability-wise but golf awareness. No tee shirt and denim wearing hooligans like you see at lesser courses.

Mini Augusta National
Well maintained. No bathrooms other than the clubhouse so plan on peeing in woods
We are happy to hear you enjoyed your round! The clubhouse is always open for relief during your round as we highly encourage using those bathrooms. Thanks for playing and we hope to see you again soon !
Review
Overall the golf course was in good shape. Some tee boxes need grass / water / fertilizer to get the sod to grow.

Played Twice- First and Last Time Ever
Overall played in just over 4.5 hours, utterly slow for a Saturday afternoon with the course wide open. Groups ahead wouldn’t let anyone play through- and they thought they were Bryson on Sunday at Augusta. Literally had a tape measure to see who was further away. Called the pro shop and the kid said they were understaffed to address the slow play.
Greens were recently punched- even if they weren’t, Arnold Palmer redesign destroyed the Ross greens. Added too much slope (was told AP Design had to come back and tone down the greens). Course doesn’t flow at all. When you need signs on a course to say which hole is which, it is not laid out well.
Fairways had many bare spots- I’ve played on better municipal courses that cost $15/round. For $55 and a college course, Forest Hills is a joke.
Zero water on the course. Heading into summer months, a health and safety hazard.
Save your time and money. Go play literally any other course in the area and you’ll have a better time with much better value.
Hello, u6654716. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
