Hawthorne
This was first time at FoPo in along time. Course was in excellent shape. Staff was very friendly and played 9 holes in 2 hours on a Sunday afternoon. Would definitely go back
Forest Park
Played Dogwood and Redbud and the courses were in the best condition since I have been playing there. Greens were in great shape, fairways were incredible, and tee boxes were great. I played at Golf Club of Wentzville the following day and Forest Park was in much better shape. Sand Traps still need some work but I shouldn’t be in there anyway. Would recommend these courses to everyone.
I enjoyed the entire experience! Great employees in the clubhouse bar/restaurant
Forest Park GC - first round of spring
Course is still brown (Zoysia) from winter and the aerated greens were a bit bumpy and unpredictable, but overall the beautiful weather made it a great round of golf to start the season. The biggest challenge (for me anyway) was the large number of bunkers around the course. I ended up playing out of at least 5 bunkers. We played Dogwood and Hawthorn to make up our 18. Good course close to home.
The Jewel of Metropolitan golf in St. Louis
When I get a chance to play any of the golf courses at Forest Park for a good rate I'm pleased. I usually play cheaper courses. These courses are beautifully designed and well maintained.
Hole in one
Great winter weather, lucky space in the winter cold to get out and play. Watched an old guy pop his cherry with a hole in one on the 8th hole of the Dogwood course.
Still in great shape for this time of year
Given that it is late in the season and Forest Park receives a significant amount of play, this course remains in fabulous condition. The tee boxes and fairways had few divots and the greens overall had minimal ball marks. My only complaint would be the greens had sand on them because they are getting ready to aerate them this week.
Forest Park remains one of the most underrated courses in St. Louis and is a great place to play.
Solid
Course has a pretty dope vibe. Good mix of technical and forgiving holes. When I played greens were pretty forgiving and average condition.
Forest Park - Hawthorn & Dogwood
I enjoyed the round. The pace of play was perfect for the day. I'll be back.
Fun Track
Beautiful weather and good course conditions made for a nice day of golf. Play was slow as they do not pair-up players enough on the course. Course conditions were VG considering this is a frequently visite city track. I enjoy playing this once a year and would be disappointed if this was my home course. A you can slip in a round here and have fun.
Surprise
I always assumed that this course would be run down like every thing else in the city, boy was I wrong! This is one of the nicest courses in the St. Louis area. Definitely put it on your use play list for this year
People problem
The course itself is nice enough and challenging, but because it's in Forest Park there are people EVERYWHERE. We had people walk across the fairway in front of us at least a dozen times and there was an annoying drone overhead for 3 or 4 holes plus the whole course is really loud with the traffic congestion.
Forest Park
Underrated course in St. Louis. Above average conditions for courses in St. Louis, especially given the amount of play this course gets. Course is very fun to play with a different flavor on each nine. The only thing this course could benefit from is a starter or on-course ranger to encourage faster play.
Great new lay out
I learned to play on this course. This is the first time I played on it after the redesign. I can not wait to play it in the summer when the trees are green and the fairways are green. Greens rolled very fair for early spring late winter conditions.
Pretty good municipal
I live close to the park and play here all the time. Conditions could be better but it's a fun time.
Enjoyable experience
I always enjoy playing golf at Forest Park. It's a beautiful area, nice course and an overall great experience.
First Time
This was my first time on this track. This is a fun layout and really something that a lot of folks can enjoy. The greens were a little wooly, but its mid-November so its hard to complain about the greens. The layout is nice and friendly. We played the Hawthorn 9 and it was pleasant. The fairways were excellent, and the 9th hole is beautiful. I will be back to play a full 18 next time, and maybe 27 who knows!
Scenic plus lots of fun
The course layout is good and the conditions are good. The real treat of this golf course is the constant availability of scenic views. Start with the lush forests and beautiful trees, follow that with beautiful ponds and lakes. If that isn't enough there are portraits of the St. Louis Art Museum that are magnificent. Lastly a white tailed fox trotted across the fairway.
I played with local residents who knew lots of historical aspects of Forest Park and it made for a wonderful day of golf.
