Great course on a hot day.

Love Forge pond. Although it is just a par 3/4 course it is very challenging due to the narrowness of the holes. Lots of trees and wildlife. That the challenge, but it keeps the course very pleasant on a hot summer day.

Course was in great shape. We are beginners, and we play relatively slowly compared to more accomplished golfers, yet we did not feel hurried during our 2:50 pm round.

Course is great practice!

Love this course! I have played about 30-40 times. Great for practicing hitting the ball staright because of the narrow fairways. Also great practice for short game.

Great course, great value

A well kept course that offers a good layout, friendly staff and value. Forge Pond provides a top notch course without the top notch price; great bang for the buck.

This course surprised me

The course is very well kept. It is narrow which makes you keep your shot true or you will pay. This was a difficult but enjoyable course.

Hidden Gem

Although this is a short course, don’t be fooled. It is tight and a real challenge. It was in excellent condition when we played. The staff was friendly and the course in excellent shape. The prices are reasonable. I have already recommended to friends and will be playing again and I live in Staten Island

Fun time.

Fist time of the year I was able to get out to play and I could t ask for a better day! It was beautiful out, staff was great, course played great! Greens were very fast but it’s because it’s early in the season and the staff was working on the greens. We had a great time! Thank you!!

Back to nature

I love this course . The landscape of the course is like a nature park.

Ducks, geese, groundhogs, deer, and squirrels. Better watch the animals don’t take your ball. lol

Enjoyable round!

I’ve played this course quite a few times before and always had a great experience. The course plays to all level golfers and is walkable. I’m actually considering joining a league there. Play it, you’ll like it.

Good Value

Nice little course to work on your iron play. Tight fairways force you to be accurate. The course is almost always well kept. I like this place a lot.
