Forest Park Golf Course

This is not a joke, the course was so backed up it took us 3 hours to play the first 3 holes. In total we played 12 holes in 6 hours before giving up. Do not play here. People are rude, golf is mediocre and the lines are absolutely horrendous. This is the worst round of golf I have ever played.

Unless you feel like waiting 20-40 minute per hole. Don’t bother. Fairways are narrow. Golf balls flying all over the place. Pandemonium . Greens are garbage. Just terrible.

The course is really nice, except it takes a very, very long time to finish playing.

He cannot manage the pace of play at all. On top of that he is verbally abusive to everyone using offensive language. Oh Yea, he smokes like a chimney inside the stater booth, in front of you, pretty much wherever he wants. Pretty sure his name is Bobby

The greens need to be repaired. Other players never pick up the dents they put in the green or if they see any other after they are done with the hole.

Course is in great shape and every time I play the beverage cart is roaming about. They could use a ranger or a better starter to help pace the course as it can get really backed up.

If you tee off any time from 9am-3pm on a weekend your gonna be playing a 6+ hr round no matter the course...stop complaining you stuck up cry babies...it’s NYC. The course does need some tree trimming on some holes and the sun light doesn’t get to some tee boxes making the grass not grow but other then that it’s maintained well for what they have to work with. Golfers, fix your marks on the greens and they will be kept better, don’t take extra shots and look for lost balls for 5 minutes when you have players waiting and act like you want to be treated and you will have a fun round. You get what you put in.

Course was cramped on nearly every hole by both the amount of people on the course as well as how close all of the holes are together. Balls flying everywhere so always need to be on high alert, and tough to keep an eye on your ball because of all of the golfers in the proximity. There were lost balls all over the place. At $75 a round I definitely won’t be playing here again. I must say, however, all of the staff was very nice and the refreshment cart came around regularly!

I’ve played here many times previously, today was marred by a slowdown-to-a-stop on both the 3rd and 4th holes. It ended up adding 45 minutes to our round. My playing partner and I both called the pro shop to tell them to get a ranger out ahead of us to get the slow players moving, and they did, by the 6th hole, pace of play evened out, but it should never be that bad. The staff has to make a point of moving play along, a round like today would stop me from coming back if it were my first time there.

It’s out of control out there - it’s time to trim the trees on 5 (tee box), 6 (green), 14 (tee box), 16 (tee box), 18 (fairway).

There’s no excuse for a course like Forest Park to have such tight holes to hit tee shots out of. For 54 dollars a round, you can do much better.

Keep your ball in front of you

Forest park is a very unique golf course

It Dear you to hook or to slice your ball

But if you keep your ball in front of you it’s very playable Forest park it’s very tranquil in when the course is not too crowded and if you have good timing you can finish in on the four hours is your teatime careful he timing is everything Forest park Great test for the average golfer my best score 74

Forest Park GC - Home of the 6 hour round!

No water on the course, and no rangers to be found. Yep - sounds like NYC golf to me. Pathetic.
