Great value!!

While in town for work I searched golf now for a great deal, and I found one. Really nice layout with amazing greens, still early in the season so the fairways aren't all the way in yet. Still, I will definitely be back and suggest everyone stop by to see it.

Slow play

The course was decent for the turf beginning to go dormant. Very prominent weed problem that has been neglected for months. Play was super slow, only one group let me play through. The members that were present were very rude. Staff was very friendly though.

Mixed Bag

I looked forward to playing this course as it's a Donald Ross and has a lot of history. The course was in good shape, including the greens, so no complaints there. The course had everything I thought I liked in a course - rolling hills, lots of trees, well maintained. However, for me personally, something was missing. The design was simply uninspiring, surprising for a Ross design., and rather one-dimensional in its monotony, especially for approach shots. At some courses, you can't wait to get to the next hole. Here, I couldn't wait for the round to finish. Nevertheless, I will recommend the course because of the condition, well, it is a Ross after all.

Great Layout

Very good overall experience. Pro shop was very friendly and efficient. Course itself was very good. Layout was extremely good. Conditions could have been better on some tee boxes and in some areas of the course. Fairways and greens were quite good, but there were some weeds around some edges and in some fairways. If you like traditional Donald Ross designs you will really enjoy this one. Terrain is much like that at nearby Augusta National....just not course conditions.

Awesome course layout with excellent greens

This was my first time playing the course. I loved the course layout. It was fun, challenging and very pretty. This is an old-school course layout with the tees close to the greens with lots of dog leg holes. The layout was great and I will definitely be back to play again.

Deception

I had a family member come in from out of town for a weekend of golf. I was looking forward to Sunday at Forest Hills. We paid our fees and proceeded to the practice greens. After teeing off and reaching the first green, we realized the greens had just been aerated. This completely messed up our entire round. We were not offered a discount, nor advised that the greens had been aerated. Had we have been informed, we would not of played for the amount that we were charged. And the fact that the practice greens were NOT aerated, adds to my presumption that we were deceived.

Best value around

I played this course 30 years ago when it was just coming back from being ignored by the Feds. It's now part of Augusta university and home to the NCAA champs Jaguars. I played it twice last week and found it to be a great test especially from the tips.

Perfect weather and a good course. Played along with 2 other Golfnowers for a great time. Conditions still not there yet from winter. If my memory serves the best conditions are late summer, early fall. No complaints, greens were very quick and somewhat thin but rolled great, don't recall a putt moving offline due to green conditions. Tees, fairways good, chipping areas thin but manageable, bunkers have new sand making them a little tricky but not bad. Played marginally today especially off the tee so had many chances to chip and hit bunker shots, great challenge. Highly recommend in this area.

Great Hot Deal

Generally really good. We played after a rain day and were restricted to cart path only which was not really necessary. They could have roped off the areas that were damp as most of the course was really hard. Made for a long day.
