A Hidden Gem!

I returned to play again at Forest Park and it was delightful! The greens were in really good shape and the course moved along nicely. Will definitely return!

Drained well

Played this literally the afternoon after Elsa left town. For as much rain as we got (and what some places in NYC looked like) the golf course was in great shape. Some tee boxes are still under repair. Many yardage signs are way over yardage. And the greens are so incredibly sloooow, even without the rain. But other than that, it’s a good layout that is challenging in some places and rewarding in others.

Another Good Day in the Park

Despite very slow greens and a person in the foursome ahead of us who lined up every shot like he was in the PGA, I enjoyued the course like I always do.

Not bad for City Course

Hot day so course was pretty empty so pace wasn’t an issue today. Course in decent shape with the exception of some tee boxes. Short course that challenges you if you don’t hit it straight. Some interesting greens. Decent value for your money

Course is on the upswing

Greens were good. On the slow side but rolled well. Players need to fix their ball marks. I fixed at least 4 on every hole. I feel price is a bit high on the weekend with a cart. The times fill up so they can get the rates they charge. Need to pick up the garbage. Trash was filled up n beer cans all over. Come on! Will go back.
