It’s Forge

Greens are in great shape! Tee boxes can definitely use some love but overall it’s forge and you get what you pay for.

Overall good!

Overall the course was great! We did get some rain the day before so besides the normal wetness the tee boxes were pretty torn up, and muddy, not ideal.. besides that course was in good shape! Would play here again!

They get paid no matter what you say so...

That just don't care. There are some really nice people there but you know what they say about it floats to the top. If this place wasn't funded by your tax money, it would go broke. It should be converted to a park with various re recreational facilities for kids. Maybe rowboat in the water. A petting zoo. Several driving ranges and a chip snd putt course. Might be a great location for condos with preference for vets and elderly disabled. Definitely not a golf course. .

Save your time and money

Go to a driving range, get lessons, go to indoor golf and learn what your stats are.

Best course ever

You will be so happy you decided to play here. You will get a friendly pat on the back when you start and you will be greeted as a conquering hero when you finish.

Believe that? If you do I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn you will love.

Liar liar pants on fire!

Be suspicious of reviews that are favorable, let alone excellent. The problems with this course are not resolvable. Your comments are only acceptable to management if they are complimentary so do not expect good faith efforts to make changes. This is a public course paid for and secured by your tax dollars. The staff are paid '" rain or shine" no matter what you say. Note: don't lump all staff together as most are really nice. As for the experience, you are forewarned. I told you so and so have many others.

Make believe ballroom!

Not really a golf course for players. Layout is horrible and your game will suffer. From tee box to green the faiways are too narrow for long ball hitters. There are tree, braches and bushes that will interfere with your best shots. Putting green feel too soft, like pudding. Easy files ignored. Remove useless tree and widen fairways. 30yrds fairways are not conducive to happy play.

Again, sir/madam, I have responded to about 7 or 8 of your posts about your dissatisfaction and I invite you to come in to the shop and you can meet with myself and the superintendent of the course to address your concerns. Thank you
