Good conditions for a late winter round

The greens were aerated, so conditions will be much better in a few weeks. It was a very windy day and there was a large brush fire nearby that closed the GSP South of the course. Played a hot deal, which was a bargain! The twosome we played with made it a very enjoyable round. If you haven't played Forge Pond, I'd recommend it.

Great shape for county course

Was impressed with the late winter/early spring conditions. Basic small course. No memorable holes. But good time and well taken care of.

Nice fast Course

Course is nice and fast to play. It’s early in the season but Tee boxes and greens were rough but the short course is challenging. Great place to practice your short game.

Forge Pond

Cart had a golf ball hole in the windshield. That tells you how the course is maintained. They cut a tree down and dropped it in the green so that was a mess. Tee boxes were dirt. I played with a couple of regulars that said the top dressed the greens a month ago. There was no grass on the greens still covered in sand. Layout is what it is and for a par 60 I thought that it was nice. Other golfers on the fairways because it is tight but everyone was nice. Cart paths were a mess. For $20 in the winter you get what you pay for I guess...

Droppings everywhere

The greens and tee box were just covered with deer and geese droppings. The greens were also horrible, just piles of sand everywhere.

Nice short track

Pleasantly surprised with the condition of this short par 60. Played on a Dec afternoon under a threat of rain [but no rain], so the crowds may have stayed away. Most short exec courses run by local towns are not well kept. This one is the exception. Greens were in great condition for Dec. Almost no ball marks to fix on the greens. This means that the grounds crew and or regular players take care of the place. Lots of short par 3s, but a few challenging holes. This is a good place to spend 2-3 hours if its not too crowded. Assume it is in nice weather. Well done Bricktown.

Forge Pond - so Great for beginners!

I Love the surroundings and being amongst nature.

The narrowness of the course definitely helps you concentrate on hitting a straight shot!

The staff is Super friendly!

Looking forward to going back
