winter golf

Had to walk the course today because I was told there was still snow on the course. That was true but all the cart paths were clear and dry. "Cart Path Only" would have been fine and made our day a lot more golf friendly.

Worst of the NYC Area Courses

Forest Park has to be the worst of the NYC area courses. Greens were hardly cut and were patchy. I guess you can't complain for a $37 twilight rate but I would much rather go to Clearview Park if I am in Queens or Split Rock/Pelham Bay are both very good for the money. I will not be coming back to Forest Park.

Nice course but a little slow

Course wasn’t as crowded due to early rain but pace of play was still quite slow. Play would probably improve if course had a driving range, at least for irons. Every time I play here first few holes for many are bad, and it slows down the pace. Also would like to see greens taken care of better by patrons.

Solid for the price.

Parking is an issue! You are better off in a car pool or better yet uber it. Course fun and not over the top difficult. 5-6 hr round is in play ouch.

Had a 7:15 reservation - didn’t get out until 8 (and I consider that lucky for this course). Constant back up at the tee boxes as they book tee times every 7 minutes. They have the audacity to charge $72 for a sub par minor league course where you’re constantly in danger of getting hit by a ball from other holes. Layout is terrible
