Forest Hills

Course I play about once a month, love the layout and it challenges every aspect of your game. Greens varies from large to small with many undulations, smooth and fast. Always a good round here no matter the score.

Good layout but rough greens.

This was the first time I’ve played this Course in many years and while the clubhouse and amenities are great and the course layout is great, I really disliked the greens. They were not smooth by any means. I also disliked that they had 3 pin positions punched in the greens and just move the flag each day. This lift you sometimes having a cup between your ball and the actual cup the flag was in. Maybe they do things a little different in spring and summer.

Usually play Forest Hills 2-3 times a month. Course is pretty open. Fairways are better than average for a Municipal Course. On this day, the greens were fast, easily running 11+. Played with an older member and two guys from Ohio. Really nice and enjoyable time. The Golfnow rate made this round a tremendous value.

Lightning

I've been playing this course for 10 years plus, I got to say this time the greens were lightning fast and very smooth and probably the best shape I've ever seen them.The fairways and tea boxes were in very good condition,.The only drawback was when we got to the ninth tee there were three golf carts in the fairway and six players and we have no idea where they came from.That's really the only thing this course is lacking is a Marshall to keep up the pace.

Challenge for missed fairways

This course was in very good condition with the greens holding well placed wedges and rolling smooth. The rough was a little longer than normal and made for a more challenging approach as it should for a missed fairway. Overall layout is good and resulted in a great round of golf.

Forest Hills

I love this golf course. Its fair and not that difficult tee to green but you better hit the green or you'll have a challenge of some sort. It feels like a golf course out of The Great Gatsby!

Good Day

My son played this course in a tournament last year and I believe that it was in better shape today than it was last year. We played from the black tees around 6800 yards and he shot even par and I shot 77. From the start, the staff was very friendly and courteous. Tee boxes were plush and very well defined. Fairways were cut very well and in great shape... you could take a divot and were like walking on carpet. The Rough was exactly what rough should be...penal in some cases and in some cases not. A ball that was hit terrible would give you a chance to get it back in play which was nice for me! Bunkers were in excellent condition and yes I was in some. The greens were in great condition but I will say that we joined another twosome on the back nine and their local knowledge of the course was interesting as far as how the greens would break. Great course for the price we paid and it was not a hot deal. Probably one of my sons favorites and I really liked it for playability. For the bad part... They need a Ranger for the course for pace of play...We started behind a group on number 1 and it was painful for 5 holes watching what was in front of us... and time consuming.... That was a problem till they really didn't have a choice in letting us through! We ran into it again on hole 8 because the group in front of their twosome would not let them play through... hence we paired up with them on the back 9. Still had to wait some here and there.

My Favorite Course In Augusta

Forest Hills is my favorite place to play in Augusta. This course is very difficult with the exception of the par 5s that give you good looks at birdie and par. Greens are always in good shape and the fairways are exceptional. Great value for the money. Honestly, if you find a hot deal on GolfNow, you should book it because you can't find a better deal on golf in the CSRA.
