Golf cart gps

The course was cart path only this day which is fine but their golf cart GPS was so awful that you couldn’t move an inch without the cart shutting off. We played most of our round driving in reverse. The staff didn’t help at all when we called the lady said she couldn’t help because the other people were not on site. Just a great course but they gotta fix that. Don’t play here if it just rained or if it’s cart path only.

Great course and great layout

Needs some work

Tees and greens need some serious attention, greens were torches and tee boxes had a good amount of sand, fairways were in great shape. Will still go back and play again.

Forrest hills

First time playing this course in a while, they have definitely been putting money back into the course which is always nice. Would have been nice to know that they had just aerated the greens. Turned into a beautiful day and had fun with friends.

Course with great legacy

We were welcomed by the friendly staff. The course has great legacy and it would be great if the course which had a great layout could be presented in better condition.

Not worth anything over $100

The price was $250 per person, the only possible reason had to be masters weekend because the putting surfaces were horrendous. Dead patches and green sand covered certain areas. Would not return

Greens are unplayable.

We came out to the course to play during Masters week. Pro Shop warned us before we went out they had two greens that weren’t in great condition. That was an understatement. 80% of the greens were under repair and unplayable to putt on. Most of the tee boxes were burned out and under repair as well. What was really disappointing was they charged us Masters week fees inflation at $225 a person and the course was in terrible condition. Play this course at your own risk. The course needs lots of work.

Not worth the money

I played during Masters week. Price was the most I’ve paid for golf yet the greens and tee boxes were the worst I’ve ever played on. I wish they would have mentioned it when I booked or at least not charged me $275 to play it. The course layout and fairways were great. The staff was very polite and nice.

Greens

This course is a favorite and play it regularly.

I was disappointed in the greens which were sanded and not in great condition.

It was disappointing to not have in better condition especially at time of year .

We’ll give it a few weeks before returning.

Near Spring ready

Overall good experience playing with friends. We are average golfers between 20-25 HC.

Course fairways are coming in nice. Tee boxes were really wet but greens were not. Seemed to be some groups larger than 4 slowing down play but was not excessive.

Very poor conditions

I made a tee time on GolfNow and normally there are warnings when there is aerating that has recently taken place, and normally an adjustment on the price. I paid $47 to play and every green and the whole course has been aerated recently. All the greens were burnt and had sand throughout them as well. There was no warning on Golf Now or I would have not paid for that. I am very unhappy.
