Doesn’t seem like they’re interested in the pace of play. Waited on the group in front of us every single hole. No ranger on the course

Grounds Staff Needs Lessons on Etiquette

First, the course was in great condition and the staff in the pro shop were helpful and very polite. That was where the good ended. From the first hole to the very last, the maintenance staff was on the course. They would not move put of the fairway while I teed off on the first hole. They watched on multiple holes as I dodged sprinklers to read and execute putts. They followed me for the last 3 holes in a gas powered cart that idled as i was taking shots and putts. I understand the maintenance has to happen to keep a course in shape, but there is a correct way to go about it without interfering with golfers rounds. And even then, when paths cross, a lesson in etiquette would go a long way.

Rained Out No Refund

A storm blew in after 2 holes with a tornadoes warning. The staff would not give me a rain check and neither will GolfNow. So the club got paid but will not do the right thing.

Could be in better shape.

We played the course the day after The Masters. The grass around the greens was brown, if there was any grass at all. There was a lot of dirt around the greens which made chipping impossible. Many tee boxes were in bad shape with no grass at all. The greens on the other hand were in great shape. We got a great deal on Golf Now for $30 per golfer, so it was still a great deal. But if we had to pay $175 during Masters week we would have been greatly disappointed with the conditions. It is a nice track and the best public course near The Masters. Springtime in Augusta should have fantastic course conditions.

Nice round at Forest Hills

Course is rounding into shape; trasitioning to spring conditions. Still some work to do on fairways and first cut rough. Tee boxes are level. Greens are hard, slow and grainy; BUT consistent. Enjoyed my round. Favorite course in the area!!

Beautiful Greens

This is an amazing course - natural undulations, making shots interesting on most holes. The greens were true and fast and the course is stunning and tree lined. The layout is good, and the bunkers are placed to challenge the golfer. We were a mix of two 15 handicappers and a College golfer - we all really enjoyed the round. The staff were all very friendly and we had a good lunch after the round

Forest Hills

Great course for a reasonable price on a weekday. The fairways aren’t in the best shape but it’s also early spring so I assume this will get better over the next couple months. Greens are in great shape!

Challenging Course

Great course and definitely challenges your short game. I would like to see some diagrams on the holes or on the scorecard. Some greens are close together and some tee boxes are shared, this made it somewhat confusing. Overall the course was nice and I will play again.

Masters week

We played this course during The Masters week when we were there for the tournament.

They charged us $170 for a round of golf when normally it is $30. I wouldn't have a problem with the price understanding supply and demand. Unfortunately Though, the course was in horrible shape!!!! I would have felt kinda ripped off at the normal $30 price

due to the course conditions. We talked to the head guy there that day and he said that is

how it is. DO NOT play this course for that price!!!!!!! Total RIPOFF!!!!!!!!!
