Fantastic Course

Belonged to this course for the past year. Unfortunately my time in Augusta, GA has come to an end, but this course will forever bring back fond memories.

Fantastic diverseness of holes; long but not too long; challenging undulating greens; beautiful scenery all around you.

I could not recommend this course enough. Always kept in great condition and always being innovated to provide challenges to golfers of all levels.

Course conditions right now are great from Tees to Greens, they made a few changes to 8's fairway bunker and the green on 9 that looks like its been there forever, a real nice job. Slight aeration on the greens, most are still very smooth and quick.

Covid 19 people

The golf course as usual is always in great shape to me the best challenging public golf in Augusta, hat off to maintaining staff. Now the 2 problem with the course. The staff and the girl at the desk that check u in,, really need a STRONG course in public service and caring for their customers. 1st problem, can we say COVID 19, COVID 19, PEOPLE IT NOT A JOKE, PEOPLE IS DYING FROM IT EACH DAY. My partner n I arrive 20 mins before our tee time at 11:36am, ask for separate cart, they wouldnt do it unless they charge another $10.

2nd problem, the 2 of us book on golfnow hot deal, also someone else book at 11:36. They wanted to put us to play together. We don't know this guy and he don't know us. I told them COVID 19, I have a son high risk and i cant take a chance like that.. Her reply was "we always put people who book on golfnow together, maybe nxt time it might be best if i dont book the hot deal from Golfnow" THEY REALLY ACT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GOLFNOW, STUPID, STUPID, DUMB DUMB (DO U NOT CARE ABOUT PEOPLE LIVES (COVID 19))THE GOLF COURSE MAY HAD 50 PEOPLE On the whole golf course, middle of the day, a hot Ga. day can we say "NOT BUSY". There was a twosome after us, we offer to let them go but told us to go ahead. So 20 mins before we tee off nobody and for over 30mins nobody tee off after the twosome after us and 2 single, Who we let go through. Forrest Hill nobody life is worth one dollar, get a reality check.

Response from on 07/28/2020:
Sir…First and foremost let us state that we are disappointed that your expectations were not met. We appreciate the anxiety that this pandemic has created. However, we do not appreciate this review. You call us stupid and dumb but we did not create the hot deal reservation process so let us explain it to you. When you purchase a hot deal reservation you have the opportunity to receive a discounted rate for 4 players in one time slot. The money paid online goes to GolfNow, not the golf course. If you purchase less than 4 spots, as you did yesterday, someone else can purchase the remaining spots in that tee time. It’s a lot like buying an airline ticket. Unless you buy the seats around you, someone you don’t know will be sitting next to you. Since May 20th golf courses have been given the approval by the allied golf associations in harmony with the Governor’s office to allow two persons to ride in a cart. As you arrived with a friend, you were not asked to ride with a stranger. Had you come as a single, an individual cart would have been given to you for your use. In the future if you are concerned about being paired with others, phone the golf shop to make a reservation. That way through discussion your concerns can be heard and we can accommodate you as we did yesterday. I also recommend that if you are concerned about contracting the virus from others that you either wear a mask the next time you come in the building to check in or consider staying home if the risk is too much for your comfort level.

Excellent carts, sandy greens

Course was in great shape except for the greens which had been recently aerated and sanded, so putting was impossible. New carts with GPS and built-in speakers were amazing, and beverage cart kept us very hydrated.

Fantastic course

The course is in the best shape I’ve seen it. Greens are really nice and fast but roll very true. There’s Not a bad spot in the fairways. Highly recommend especially for the value. Only issue is it’s such a good deal that they are always packed and pace of play usually lags behind a little, especially in a twosome.

Slow wet day

My wife and I got a good rate for this course however it rained over five inches within the last 2 days. The course of play was cart path only so even with a cart it required a lot of walking. We were clipping along through the first three holes and we caught up to a foursome of elderly men who were extremely slow. They could have offered us to play through but it never happened. We could have finished 1 1/2 hrs sooner along with the threesome behind us.

Forest Hills 7/4/2020

The fairways were beautiful and the greens were superb. The greens were extremely fast a simple tap will send the ball flying.

The one thing I didn’t like was the cost of the range balls $7 for a small basket
