Forest Park Golf Course

This is an interesting course that is over 120 years old, one of the oldest in the country. It’s a really cool layout that’s fill with twists and turns that keep you on your toes. Greens are in very good shape, but the tee boxes are mostly dirt and so are the bunkers. The mature trees around most tee boxes have long ago stopped the sun from doing its job and it’s a same. If this course was in great shape it would be amazing. Also, the pace of play is absolutely horrendous. It’s overbooked!

Since Covid, the condition of the course has improved greatly, especially the greens. Some of the tee boxes are still basically a patch of dirt (which is unacceptable in my mind) but the fairways and rough are fair and the greens are now all in good shape. It’s a public course so of lot of inconsiderate a-holes who have zero golf etiquette don’t repair their divots and pitch marks but it is what it is.

Pace of play is always slow on the weekend but it’s still a fun course to play, short but with good challenges. Still my go to when I want to squeeze in a last minute round by myself or with a friend.

I play this course a few times a year. Staff is always so friendly!! Lay out is good and has a few challenging holes. Only bad thing are the tee boxes some are just dirt other then that is was a good round of golf with the cousins. I will be out there again. Hit’em straight!

Nice layout excellent condition except for a few tee boxes. Pace of play typical for a Friday - slow

Do not play here. They seem to book tee times 7 min. Between eachother. This is by far the worst pace of play I have experienced in my life. Took 2 hours to play 4 holes. The only good thing was when I left mid round they refunded me.

Played this morning and enjoyed being out during this beautiful weather

The course had an outing, affecting tee times and pace of play. So a later tee time at 5:30 pm means, 10-15 holes with sunset at 8:30 pm. However great weather, good group and I got my fix for the day.

One of the slowest rounds I’ve ever played ( 6.5hrs+) There were 4 groups waiting to hit on multiple holes, which is ridiculous for a weekday. No ranger to be seen. Fairways were in good shape. I won’t be coming back.

There’s about 5-6 holes with straight dirt for tee boxes that have been like that for years I guess they’re never gonna fix and over 20 bucks for a cart is ridiculous they took away the cheeseburger lady on the 8th hole so you there’s no where to eat or get drinks the entire course other then the 1st tee
