Forest Park Golf Course

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.

I got a great deal for 2 players at 2 p.m. through Golf New York and we both thoroughly enjoyed the course. We didn't realize that we had to trek over to hole #16, but once we did, the starter put us back on track. Beautiful course - can't wait to play again!

greens were a bit slow, tight fairways, reserved 2pm tee time, but teed off at 1:30pm. expected more crowded conditions, but it was a perfect saturday with nice weather, & great conditions.... pace was fairly fast for weekend as it was not too crowded

Had to tell staff about players teaching other players. Strange thing was the teacher need to be taught. It took one and a half hours to play three holes and there is never a ranger on this course to see how play is moving.

Old man cooking the egg sandwiches was so nasty I asked for a BEC n because I asked him for salt pepper ketchup he asked if I wanted him to eat it for me too that's how the day started off . Course played fast after the first two holes tee boxes are in horrible condition leaves and sticks all over the green

F/P is a par 70 from the white tees, not so long, but very tight and if you can not keep the ball straight you will lose many balls. The course has been built up in the past 5 years and is now a pleasure to play.

The course, overall, was in fairly good condition. I made a tee time for 11:35, didn't actually tee off until almost 12. By 5 o'clock, we weren't even done with 13 holes yet. They allow far too many tee times. Because of this, you're waiting on EVERY SINGLE hole. When we got to the course, there were 5 foursomes waiting to tee off. This should NEVER be the case. I know it is hard to manage the amount of players who go out but they need to work on getting players out faster instead of holding them up.

The course is in amazing condition, I was thoroughly impressed, as was my playing partners, I have never seen the course in such good shape, the greens keeper should be proud of his accomplishment

couldnt beat the price for this course, will def go back

the most difficult aspect of the course iare the very tnarrow fairways on some of the holes. the other sistutation is that the course set up has many greens and t boxes nexgt to each other.

It poured for almost 10 hours before we hit the tee but the course absorbed it all. Fairways and greens are in great shape.
