Forest Park 5/1
I was refunded the wrong amount for my initial booking that I canceled. I called the course earlier in the week and never heard back. I’m still owed money. On top of that the pace of play was terrible and the course was in poor to average condition at best.

Not so good
I live here and play here hoping things get better. No such luck. Tee boxes are still a mess, no cart person. The snack shop is closed and understaffed. Trash cans are not empty throughout the course. For the price you pay the course should be better maintained!
