Course maintenance

The 15 hole was a complete disappointment. Lily pond overflowed, just about on the green. A definite eye sore! From the looks of it, a system malfunction..?

A Gem of a Course Neglected

The company that leases this course from the city does the minimum to maintain it operational. Money money money. (1) Fix the greens that have been vandalized for almost a year. (2) Get help to fix the tee boxes. It’s not rocket science. Right now one either tees off from mud or the rough. Mow the tee boxes that are grassed and grow grass on the bad ones

(3) print out a simple etiquette flyer for all the new Covid golfers—where to park their carts, speed of play, fixing divots, repairing ball marks on the green. (4) Have one of the pro shop personnel drive the cart onto the course and help to Marshall the groups. Invariably at the end of slow play u will find a group of folks with large hats and parasols strolling the course like it’s Sunday Afternoon in the park with George.

(5) pleas open up the practice greens!! We know how Covid spreads and where. Stop using Covid to reduce the already paltry amenities.

Forest Park is one of the most beautiful and challenging city courses anywhere in the USA. The group in charge is failing it.

Field conditions

Tee boxes and fairways need to be improve. No grass on tee boxes. Some fairways and green not close to average conditions.

Just bad

$74 with cart to play a course that’s in horrible condition. Slow divot filled greens. Overgrowth everywhere. Grass less dirt tee boxes. This is not worth the money. Course lay out isn’t bad and If it was cheaper would be a fun place to learn the game but it just isn’t any good.

The course was in terrible condition. I grew up playing this course and it was never really in great condition(30+ years). It just looks like there’s no course maintenance at all. The gentleman in the clubhouse was not friendly at all. It’s a hard challenging course and that’s the only reason I try to get back to it once a year
