Decent City Course, Has Lost Many Trees
We played the Hawthorn/Redbud courses. The Hawthorn course is flat and holes 3,4,5,6 have no special design qualities. Just boring.
A tornado went through the course and took out many of the large mature trees. The course looks totally different now.
Forest Park is in decent condition considering how many rounds are played on this course. Here are a few things I found not up to their usual standards. The price of $72 is high, considering the course you are playing. There are no rangers and the round will be over 5 hours. Tees had weeds or bad sections (Hawthorn 3, Redbud 4), greens with bad areas (Hawthorn 4, Redbud 4), bunkers had rocks or weeds in them (Hawthorn 4, 8).
The staff is pleasant and they know how to run tournaments. I would recommend the course, however, your round will be extremely slow and the parking lot is too small to handle the golfers for three 9-hole courses.
Course rebounded nicely
Course is in above average condition since the tornado. Thoughts are with the people in the area still dealing with the aftermath.
No starter or ranger
Forty minute backlog. Way overbooked by forty minutes. Decided to not play as the group in front of us were all hackers so the round would have been dreadfully slow.
Overpriced
It’s only mid April and the fairway grass hasn’t grown in yet, the tee boxes are pretty beat up and the bunkers are mostly mud and water. The greens had been aerated a few days ago and were not even sanded. Crap.
They charge $55 for a weekday senior. NOT a value. Wait till early to mid May to play.
Last Minute Round
I always enjoy playing at Forest Park. The mix of courses is fun and the pace of play is good.

Forest Park Golf Course / Hawthorne
This is a decent track. They recently aerated the greens so obviously an impact on putting but I enjoyed the layout. The track is flat and well designed. Decent golf shop and restaurant as well. Overall I’d recommend it.
