Tough but fair

For.it being winter time the course was in good shape. Greens were really firm on the day I visited, which was really surprising. Course has recovered well from hurricane helene. Just feel as a local the course is getting overpriced. I understand that costs have risen, but still feel the price that is being charged is a little steep.

Excellent Greens and Fairways!

With Golf now codes got an incredible deal. Pace was a bit slow. Two groups ahead kept us all bogged down. But course was recently used by Augusta college for tournament and was almost immaculate. Back 9 cart-paths need work but I think that’s coming.

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.

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.
