Good Course

The pace of play was slow .
It took over four and half hours to play .
Group in front playing from tips and were at best intermediary golfers .If a ranger were working, he could have sped them up.
We had three playing members tees and we waited on every hole.

Favorite course in Augusta

This is my favorite course in Augusta. It is challenging but not because of extreme length, tricked up or blind shots or overuse of hazards. Bunkering, trees, mounds and contoured fairways and greens require good shot placement. The best part of the course is the greens because they are relatively small and contoured, necessitating a creative short game. This keeps the course exciting because there are so many interesting shots to play. The course is in great shape and has been every time that I have played. I would prefer the grass in the fairways to be a little bit higher but it's not a problem.

Beautiful Golf Course and a Good Price

Forest Hills is well maintained. The facilities are clean and the pro shop is well stocked with great stuff. Food was very good and they have an excellent menu for breakfast, lunch, and supper. The prices were affordable for everything. I highly recommend this golf course.

Long and wonderful

This a fun course to play. But be prepared that this course is a little longer than average for senior players. The fairways are great and the greens are in great shape. This is a public course, however, it is also the home course of a college team. Play is fast and the people there were very friendly and out going. My wife and I will definitely play here again.

Forest Hills

I played on an overcast Sunday afternoon after several days of rain. The course was overall in pretty good shape but did have some drainage issues in some spots. The greens are tough, and were breaking a pretty good amount even in the wetter conditions.

Forest Hills Golf Cousr Review

Moved to Augusta from Atlanta nearly 8 months ago & so far this is closest to the top notch Public Atlanta courses I've played. Layout is okay, could use a bit more trouble spots (bunkers/water) to make course a bit more challenging. However course wins with conditions & putting greens. Tee boxes, fairways, sand traps stay in great shape & all putting greens are immaculate with hills & drops on every one making putting a tough challenge. I know there are many hidden gems here in Augusta to play I just haven't found them yet but until then, Forest Hills will definitely be my choice for a quick 18.

Overall a good experience. I expected the course conditions would be better since this is the home of Augusta State University. The back nine was in much better shape than the front nine.

Visiting friends

I have a friend with business in Augusta and flies in 4 or 5 times a year. We always play a round or two and have hit it at Forest Hills 10 - 15 times in the past 5 years. Yesterday was our first round this year and it surprised us. At best average and not what we expect at Forest Hills. Played Applewood and Fort Gordon and both were in much nicer condition for the end of May.

Update

Conditions pretty dry and greens fast. Tee boxes a little beat up and bunkers were hard, not really sand but combination or dirt and sand. Well struck shots will hold greens but chipping is challenging.
