The Forge
Challenging, tight but fun. You can sharpen your iron skills here.
Best short course
Wonderful short course and narrow which makes it a challenge. Easy to walk. Cup placement can be tricky on small greens. Love it!
Great course
Went with my friend, both of us are 30 handicapped players. Even though it's a par 60 it's very challenging. Had a good time, excellent value, will be coming back. Not too much driver work but great practice for irons wedging and putts.
Need to keep golfers moving
I really like golfing here but we were stuck behind a foursome who was spending 15-20 minutes on each hole. No ranger in sight. Very frustrating. We ended up skipping 2 holes to get past them. Then ran into another foursome who just wouldn't let the ball in the woods go. Paid for 18 homes but ended up only playing 9. Very disappointing day!
TIGHT CHALLENGING COURSE
SHORT COURSE, BUT MAKES YOU HIT PLENTY OF IRON SHOTS. RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY.
Golf Now always

A little soggy in spots, but overall OK. Greens were a bit bumpy but that was mostly because of inconsiderate previous golfers not fixing ball marks..
Nice course
Considering it is par 60 you can play many shots
Joaham
Great for a day outing - the course is well maintained and the staff are very helpful. It would be nice to have a good concession.
worth the hot deal price
could use a hotdog/food stand on the turn.
awesome
sweet course great value can always get a tee time friendly staff
Tight tight
This course is very tight. There was little to no spacing off the 1st tee, therefore groups backed up quickly. The long distance between several holes caused delays with walkers.
No par 5's
All 3's and 4's was interesting!
Tough but fair
Nice little par 3 with some long holes. Challenging but fair. If you don't hit them straight bring extra balls.
Home your short game
Leave your driver and fairway metals in the car. This course is under 4000 yards from the back tees; par is 60. Fairways are tight. Greens are slow and rarely flat making two-putts a challenge. Power carts available but not necessary for most.
Very slow greens
I found this course to be a great way to fine tune your short game and work on accuracy as the fairways are tight. The one drawback is that the greens are VERY slow. They are long and not rolled at all. So when you do get on the greens, there is no way to accurately gauge how you are putting since you have to hit each putt much harder and this takes away any kind of feel for the greens. If there is a break you may actually putt through it since you have to hit the ball so hard. With that said, I will go back to simply work on my iron play.
Not bad for the price.
The major challenge in this course is the narrowness of the fairways which were bordered on both sides by trees and heavy vegetation. Get too far into the rough and give up on finding your ball. Course was in very good condition but greens were sa little slow.
A nice challenging tract
I was looking for a faster than usual round on Mother's Day so I tried Forge Pond. After a week of rain the course was very green but also very wet in spots. For an executive course I found it to be a challenge. Very tight and some par threes are 200+ yards and treelined. The greens were smallish and undulating so it was a challenge on every shot. Enjoyable.
What I expected
The starter was a jerk. After we paid I went outside with my receipt. He told us to get in line behind people that hadn't paid yet, with no one on the first tee. The group was nice and let us go.
Saw him again at the turn as we walked by the clubhouse and I said hello and waved as we passed him. He starred at is blankly without saying anything.
I really don't know why he was so unhappy. Perhaps he forgot to we are customers and he takes his job with a clipboard a little to serious.
A nice Challenge
The course is in great shape. It is a very challenging executive course where you have to be accurate with your shots. The greens rolled true with most greens having undulations. I arrived about an hour before my tee time and they allowed me to go right out. This is a great course to work on your short game and mental game for where to place your shots and what type of shot to hit. I will definitely play it again. The only negative was twigs on the greens from the strong winds the night before, but not a major concern, easy to remove. The staff was very friendly, the starter explained where the first tee was and the tenth tee along with other features of the course.
