Pricey for what it is

Although today it was in the best shape I’ve seen it in a long time, there are still a handful of tee boxes that are in horrible shape, it’s basically dirt.

Otherwise, as one would expect on a holiday weekend, pace of play was super slow.

Wonderful layout. For a public course that gets a lot of traffic, it’s in pretty darn good shape. Love this place.

Weekend Carts Only

Forest Park is a good golf course , good layout and they seem to have figured out how to speed up the greens a little. .

We played on Sunday morning, and paid for a cart , I recommend on the weekends anyway that it is golf cart only for everyone because the guys walking slow down the rounds .

It's the only fault I have with the city courses , is the pace of play , otherwise it would get 5 stars .

Forest park

Great course, however, the pace was slow the day I played, a lot of par threes were backed up (3-4 groups were on one whole). Other than that the course was well kept and friendly staffs.

For a local course you can’t complain

I’ve been shooting in the low 90s here. Some of the greens need a lot of work and some of the tee boxes have seen better days. Holes 1&2 play well 3 isn’t too bad either. 4th hole par 5 has seen some better days. Once you get through the 7th or 8th hole the course really turns itself around. I enjoy it very much. Short course but with the elevstion it’s challenging.
