Forest Park Golf Course

From tee to fairway, course needs some help but greens are in good condition (a little slow). The layout of the course is a bit odd. Some holes are fairly open and some are extremely tight. Some approach shots are impossible with overhanging trees in the way. You definitely use every club in your bag. Extremely short par 5's and somewhat long par 4s. Stay alert on greens and tee boxes as you can easily get hit with incoming approach shots.

Played 4 holes in two hours and left. Groups were backed up 3 on a tee. Course seemed nice but more than 6 hours is too much.

Played Forest Park last Sunday for maybe the 5th time. The front nine on this course is short yardage wise but still challenging to me. On the back nine the course opens up but the holes are close together and balls are flying everywhere. Better keep your head on a swivel! My main complaint was the pace of play, my playing partner and I could have finished in four hours if not for a very slow group in front of us. Also, many of the tee boxes are just dirt, no grass. I hope they plant some grass in the off season.

Fun, shorter 18- hole course . Rather tight fairways, but if you are hitting the ball straight you can score well. Par 5s are reachable and birdies are possible for average golfers. Course in very good shape, staff very friendly.

played Forest park 9/5.course is a little difficult for p/t golfers like myself.conditions were excellent.no wait time,actually teed off 10 min early. Pace was good,never more than few min wait. Hope to play there a few more times over next 2 months.

Ok, this is a Queens course so take that into account. The first two holes seem nice enough but short. On the next 3 tee boxes, you're gonna find most of it bare, especially if you play the backs. The lay out is challenging for holes 4,5,6, and 7. Made challenging by woods tight to the fairways and trees in the way. The next few will challenge on length after the par 3. The rest are relatively easy but tight with trees probably because it's queens and land is at a premium.

The people are a different story. They don't regulate pace of play at all. Definitely gonna run into the jeans and tshirt guy who's swing looks like he's trying to swat a fly in stead of hit a ball. Despite the lack of oversite, never had a 6 hour round and people are generally respectful. I recommend it in a pinch or lacking transportation from NYC.

I reserved for tee time I thought I was getting a break payed 12.00 convince fee someone walked up payed less and joined our groupi paid 44.00 plus convince 12.00 the otheother person paid 44.00

Color of the Green was perfect but, Greens are So Slow!!!

Just about the same details in my earlier review below only this time the staff (pro shop guy and starter) were super friendly.

Based on today's round, golfing was definitely one of the better days. The bad reputation this place gets is extremely slow play/overbooked and below average conditions. Since this track is so conveniently located, playing here when there is time during midweek is almost unavoidable. Being lucky enough to play on a Wednesday helped eliminate the slow play this place is notoriously known for. Conditions of the fairways and greens great especially for a NYC course. Some tee boxes were closed due to much needed TCL. Weather was picture perfect to make this round very enjoyable. If possible, play here during the week and not the weekend.

Pace of play was at 5 hours which is standard for NYC. Some holes are extremely narrow. Conditions are ok, greens are in decent shape but on the slower end. Some teeboxes need some work. Its by no means a course worth traveling to and could be an option for those who want to stay local.

This is a short but challenging course because of the tight, tree-lined fairways. It has rolling terrain, elevations, swales, doglegs, a few very good tiered and contoured greens. Very walkable. Other than a few greens that are always in bad shape and some tee box issues, the course is usually in good condition. Like any NYC muni, pace of play can be an issue. Overall, a fun, interesting course.

The staff is great... course could be manicured a bit especially on the greens. Overall love playing there because it's challenging
