Forest Park Golf Course

I played Forest Park for the first time this weekend with my dad. It gets the job done. It’s local, it’s not crazy expensive, and the course is reasonably laid out. There are some compromises of course, because it’s in New York with limited space. No driving range, it’s a very short course in terms of length, the holes are tightly packed close to each so you’ll routinely see other shots from other players fly in near you(you’ll have to be aware of your surroundings here). There is no fancy restaurant or caddies.

If you can look past these things, it’s a good course. Ponds, trees, birds, relative quiet, and straightforward unpretentious golf. Can’t beat it for the location and convenience.

Staff was friendly, but it’s a tough course to endure for 5.5+ hours and right holes leading to being under fire on most holes. Especially the last 3 holes seem strangely laid out and leads to a lot of people hitting into each other.

I am always playing this golf course because iof the close proximity to my house and very easy to play the course and friendly staffs.

Title sez it all! Rude staff, expensive! Beware golf now golfers, cart not included in Hot Deals and they’re 40 bucks per cart!

Good value.

Good test.

Tee boxes need a lot of care.

Very slow play… Sunday holiday weekend.

Players need to repair green hallmarks to keep greens decent.
