Great Value, fun course
The course is good. No par 5s and mostly par 3s, but that can be expected from a short course. It's fun, greens and fairways are well maintained considering it's the middle of the winter. Staff are extremely helpful and nice people. Course has some challenges like small greens and surrounding bunkers.
Cons:
1) tee times weren't true to time. Now I will say it's was a random nice day in the winter so everyone was coming out so I won't complain to much, plus one of the staff let my group start on the back 9 so it helped a lot
2) no alcohol which also can be expected from some courses
Cons really aren't cons just preferences. I would recommend
Nice little course
Forge Pond is a short, executive course. But, don't let the yardage fool you. Some of the fairways can be tight. If you go into the woods, you will likely lose your ball in the leaves and pine straw. Water only comes into play on 2 holes. Strategically placed bunkers and sharp dog legs make for interesting shot and club selection. Undulating greens can be tricky, especially in certain cup locations. long distance from holes 2 to 3 and again from holes 7 to 8 make this course less than optimal for walking. Played the course on a windy fall day, so there was a lot of debris and leaves on the course, which made finding the ball difficult at times. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were all in very good shape, considering the time of year we played. Nice course, especially for a municipal venue. Enjoyable day. Will return.
Tight course...but fun.
Had a nice time on a sunny Sunday afternoon
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
Enjoyed using Golf Now and I passed the Tip too the Two other players,who are also going to try using Golf Now.Great Time for the Buck.

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.
