I Recommend This Course
Forest park
The course is in excellent shape. The greens were slow but in good shape. Pace of play was good (41/2 hrs). The cost was good, well worth playing.

The forest has overgrown.
The trees have grown over the years, which are blocking sunlight especially to the greens. The overgrown trees have narrowed the fairways and have also interfered with aeration to the greens. It would be nice if the city budget would put money into this nice course layout.

I like the course layout
The layout suits me, it’s not to long but challenging with tight fairways, big improvements to the tee boxes this year and I hope they can maintain them.

Great environment but poor pace of play
front 9 alone took us 3h+. every hole there's more than 2 group waiting to tee off. no marshall would do anything. Also there is no turn and no restroom on the course you have to return to the clubhouse..
