Excellent all around

I brought my nephew there for the first time.We were booked as a threesome, but added a fourth without notifying the course. At first they said they couldn't fit us, but after some discussion, the starter found a way to get all of is on time. Thanks again to those working at the course and saving our day!!

Forge Pond Golf Course is a delightful gem that offers a short yet challenging round of golf in a well-maintained setting. Despite its shorter layout, the course provides an enjoyable experience for players of all skill levels, making it an excellent option for beginners, families, or those seeking a solo round. The affordability of the course is another appealing factor, especially when you manage to secure a hot deal and use a tee time credit, resulting in an incredible $13 round of golf.

One standout feature of Forge Pond is the continuous effort to improve the tee boxes, as evidenced by the positive changes seen on hole 2. This dedication to enhancing the course is commendable and shows a commitment to offering players the best possible experience.

The staff at Forge Pond Golf Course are friendly and approachable, as long as players show respect in return. This creates a welcoming atmosphere, which is especially crucial for those learning golf or enjoying a day out with their family.

However, one area that could use improvement is the food selection. It seems that they often run out of popular items like hot dogs, and the available snacks might be considered subpar. While the prices are reasonable, a broader and well-stocked menu would further enhance the overall golfing experience.

Not worth the money

It's an executive course most of the holes are par 3s. The one long par 4 they changed to a short par 3. Tee boxes are mud. Slow play plus people hitting 2 tee balls. The fairways are so tight it is common practice to play ball from the other holes fairways. Not worth going unless your a beginner or someone that has time to waist.
