Challenging Course with beautiful elevations

Found the course challenging witth lots of hills, sand traps and other hazards. Nice looking course with fantastic elevations with view of the city. The course play started out quite well but seemed to slow down as the day went on.

Overall a nice experience, but would need to play the course a few times to get used to the layout.

Course Gets Plenty Of Play, Always In Decent Shape

It always amazes me how much play the Forest Park Golf Courses get and the course is always is good shape. They are a very well-organized unit there also.

I played the Dogwood/Hawthorne nines. Dogwood starts out hilly on the first 3 holes and then it is flat for the remainder. The Hawthorne nine is completely flat.

The only complaints I have of the course is the high weeds/native grass that is in front of the holes. Really takes away from the beauty of the holes and makes the hole a blind shot. Examples are: Dogwood 7, 8, Hawthorne 2 & 5.

I thought the price of $68 was on the high side. I can play Spencer T. Olin in the $50 range and the best course in the area (Annbriar) for $75.

They still use the the small flag on the flagstick to indicate front, middle or back. Please go with a colored flagstick flag approach, like most courses do,

Great City Golf

Beyond the friendly staff and pristine facilities, the course offers lush fairways, well maintained tee boxes, and fast greens that make you work! The layout on any of the three 9hole courses is varied as well as interesting . Great views of the park and city await. Pre 7am tee off is a plus!

Good but overscheduled public course

Tee times are always booked back to back to back here, leading to some bunching up if any group along the line has a bad hole. Other than that, a good public course with multiple options

Enjoyed this 9

Played it as front nine and it was a good challenge, especially the way I hit the ball@

Greens had been aerated recently, as what happens this time of year, so played 2 putt maximum, which occasionally do in this situation .

Have always enjoyed Forest Park

First posting round of the season, and Forest Park is still very enjoyable. It is booked up tight and there are plenty of outsiders walking the course. Grens are normally slower, but not unusual for the amount of play they get. Zosia is not in yet, but it should green in the coming month.
