Forest Park Golf Course

First off, the course was empty at 3:00 on a beautiful Sunday so we actually teed off early. Every other time I have played here, there was a backup. Course was in better condition than I remember, especially the greens. VERY disappointed there was no snack bar at the turn since the 9th hole is out on the course. On a weekend afternoon, that is a travesty. Overall, though a nice round.

Great public course but unfortunately it's hard to play a round in 4hrs -4.30 hrs , timing is everything on this course . Just to many hackers out for the day and no Rangers to move play on . But if your not in a hurry and have the patience of a saint , it's great.

The tee boxes were just straight dirt no grass. The greens had big chunks missing from them and nobody repairs ball marks. No one bothered to put the flag back in the hole and on some holes it was snapped in two. Cart paths are basically a roller coaster with 50 ft dips on some holes. And some of the holes are just ridiculous with 60 ft drops in the middle of the fairway.

Public course in NYC. Great course that can challenge each club in the bag in comparison to all other NYC public courses. The front nine can be tight with exception of holes 1-3. Other holes demands precision or pay the price of losing balls to the trees. Courses is in good shape with exception of a few tee boxes that are being used during the cold season. fairways was clear of leaves. Staff is great and friendly to all golfers. I look forward to playing here in the spring.

Tee boxes are in bad shape on the front 9, back 9 the course plays much much better

6.5 hour round
Tee boxes were very poor condition
Tee boxes to close to greens on some holes

have played at 20 different courses in v.a., n.c., and have never played a course that didn't have , at the very least a port-a-john somewhere on the course! also, a grill and cooler on the 10th tee is not my ideal of a clubhouse setting! NEVER AGAIN!!!

I like this golf course. I've been playing this course for a few years now and I must say that the grounds are in much better shape. The course is a bit challenging for one who has never played there before. The golf course is hilly and this is one of the things I most like about it. The fairways allow some forgiveness and the holes on the greens are moved often enough to challenge you every time you come back and play. The best part of playing at Forest Park is that you feel like you are playing at an upstate golf course. The fresh cut grass, the crisp air and the old trees make it a golf haven in the middle of this beautiful park.

Enjoy my fellow golfers

Good course for the price I paid. Wish it was a little more spread out. Some tee spots are right next to some greens. Kind of dangerous

It's my home course so I play it 2 or 3 times a month In my opinion it's the in NYC

slooow play but great staff and good condition of the course I will be back again

Great course only problem was there was alot of traffic in front of us. So we waited alot

Even though it has gotten busier and busier the course is still being maintained very well. Tees, fairways, and greens are in good condition. My gripe is with pace of play. 9:15 tee time on a Monday and the round took 5 hours. My foursome was constantly waiting for the threesome ahead of us, and the foursome ahead of them. I never saw a ranger. It would be nice to see someone out on the course making sure groups are playing ready golf and keeping the pace up.

Place was in great shape and enjoyable to play. Pace was poor, however; 5+ hours to play. Staff was great; forgot my range finder in the cart and it was returned to me the next day.

As a first time golfer to Forest Park I found the course to be quite enjoyable. My wife and I have been playing for just about a year, so the change to a larger/longer course was a nice challenge. Fairways and greens where in fine shape, though the sand traps were like concrete. Luckily, that wasn't a problem for us but was for others in our group. I had read previous posts about how BAD some of the tee boxes are. Yes some are bare of grass but these are the tee boxes right under huge trees, so they get no sunlight at all. The starter had us paired up and sent off before our actual tee time. Play kept moving along, if we did have to wait it was only for a few minutes. The beverage girl made her rounds often which was good because it was a HOT day. All in all my wife and I had a great day only losing one ball a piece. I consider this a big deal because we are still beginners. We will definitely be coming back again and maybe make this our "home" course over other Queens courses we have already played.
P.S. Try and book your tee time though GOLFNOW.com - you might luck out and get a prime time cheap!

An excellent course, in the heart of queens. Got a great rate on a hot deal $20. Pace was great done in just over 3 1/2 hrs . With a threesome. Fairways excellent greens excellent. Must play. Only drawback they charge $3 to park your car.

Really enjoy this course.........My one complaint is pace of play. It starts off slow, though it usually picks up once you've reached the 5th hole the pace picks up if you play early in the day. I prefer to play late morning or early afternoon. You can play with a cart for $40.00 after 12:00pm

I learned to play golf on this golf course. Haven't played in over 30 years. The course is in much better shape now and they changed the routing for the better too. The greens were in great shape and the narrow fairways make for harder tee shots. The only bad thing is that tee boxes and greens are too near each other,almost got hit twice.

This day was great. Awesome day for a round of golf. Thanks !

It's gotten much better and less crowded, better T-box is desired.
