True Test

Greens are in great shape. The fairways need some warmer nights to green up.
Forest Oaks is a true test of golf.. Your iron game must be spot on !

Greens had been rolled and were fast and true. Bunkers manicured with new sand. Fairways dormant but good shape for this time of year. Can’t wait till fairways come in. New management doing a great work.

17 holes available

Course layout is great, greens are fairly smooth, but they had workers working on #7 who were not interested in allowing people to play thru every once in a while. Waited 20 mins then picked up and moved on. Paid extra for range balls and food with my greens fee. Kinda sucks to not be able to use the round.

Fantastic

The course is in great shape, playing a bit long but in great shape. Greens are the best in town at the moment, they're rolling so good! It's a must play right now.

Outstanding Track

I was really impressed with this course. Great Ellis Maples design. Very fair, but a good challenge from the blue tees. Outstanding value as I only paid $30 on a Friday afternoon walking. Greens were in great shape, but pretty slow compared to what I’m used to. One extra cut and roll would make them great.

In great shape!

I’ve played Forest Oaks 4-5x now over the last 3 years, and it has really been taken care of! You can tell that management/ownership has put in time/effort/money to improve the course. Bunkers are full of new, white sand. Greens are true and well maintained. Fairways & tee boxes in great shape for the most part. The biggest improvement is the driving range and practice green/area. They’ve also redone some of the clubhouse area. This place is trending upwards! We played on a Thursday afternoon (thinking it wouldn’t be too busy), but it was absolutely packed. Be prepared for some slow play.

Not what it use to be

GGCC Days was in much better shape. Good afternoon value for $35. Has a lot of potential.
