Forest Park Golf Course

I look forward to playing here because the course brings out the best in me and it is a rustic environment in the middle of the city.

Best way to spend the first day of vacation. 54 holes of golf on a fun and challenging course. Greens were in excellent condition and played slow in the morning with the morning dew, then moved a little quicker as the firmed up in the heat of the afternoon. The only issues were the tee boxes as usual were horrible due to the amount of players the course gets. Also there were no water coolers around the course as was the normal pre covid practice. As well as no one selling hot food and drinks on the course. They only take credit card now so I guess no point in having them out there. Other than that it was a perfect day to get out and play three rounds on a Monday. Don't try that on the weekend when it's probably so busy your lucky to get 1 round in. The rough was challenging but not overwhelming. The fairways were well groomed and not patchy. The staff as always were friendly. One of the best public courses for mid range players.

I really like playing here. Tight fairways, a couple of water hazards, and pretty scenery in the middle of Queens. This is a New York City treasure, The rough was thick.

Forest Park is a fun little course in deep Queens. Fairways and greens nicely kept up, some of the tee boxes were a little grungy, but not enough to really detract. Biggest drawbacks are that the clubhouse doesn’t link up with the turn, some of the greens are dangerously close to the tee boxes, and if you’re unfamiliar with the layout, the signage ain’t great. But these are minor quibbles for what’s otherwise easily one of NYC’s best public courses.

Fairways were in relatively good shape, however several tee boxes were just dirt, actually hard to find some grass on them.

Greens were slow.

Overall good course but wasn’t particularly scenic or challenging. Probably the best of the city courses I’ve played.

Fairway is well maintained.

We played as a twosome in 3hrs 15 minutes, which is pretty amazing. Granted we started at 745 am, but I still thought it would be slower. Helped that there were only 2-somes ahead of us.

Fairways were in very good condition. Some teeboxes were pretty much dirt only from the blue tees, but didn't ruin my round or day. Greens were slow but rolled pretty true. Hit a 75 so I ended the day pretty happy and the fact that it was only 3 hours made it that much better.
