Extremely Slow
Considering this course is embedded in a very large subdivision it’s fair to expect it to be busy. What isn’t expected are the members who bypass the marshal and tee off wherever they choose, slowing down the pace-of-play even more, on what was already a busy weekend. While on course you would expect a marshal to ride through to make sure everyone is keeping a good pace as well. Easily had to wait 15-20 minutes on a majority of tee boxes and unfortunately I wasn’t able to finish the round because of how late it was, so I had to ride through the remaining 4 holes.
There were several patchy and sandy greens, and overall the course conditions have declined somewhat.
The highlight of the day for me was meeting two other players (father and son) who I paired up with half through the round. I normally dread having to pair up with “randos”, but they were chill and made the remainder of the round endurable.
First time at the course - 12/16/23
It’s a standard neighborhood course with houses on either side of most of the holes. Staff was super friendly and helpful on what to expect throughout the day. I wasn’t a huge fan of the green conditions. They were not receptive to most shots and had a lot of burn spots on every green. It appears they haven’t tended to them in the off season. Other than that, it was a unique experience with #17 being my favorite hole. That hole is the reason I will be back again.
Overall, not a bad course for the money.
Beautiful...except for the greens
Layoutt is nice. Challenging but not crazy Hard. Decent length from the blue tees. Lots of rolling hills.
The greens are horrible. Matted grass with track marks everywhere. We may try to play again in the spring...if the greens are better.
Holiday Round
Played on Black Friday, they paired us with 2 other guys, so it was pretty busy. The fairways are very tight with houses and cars in driveways lining the course. We drove up from staying in Orange beach because the price of a round anywhere in that area are crazy high. The course is in decent shape and the greens roll okay. Good breakfast sandwich in the clubhouse.

Greens In trouble
I played there several weeks ago and the greens were in good shape, not the case now. I’m afraid there has been some mess up with a chemical application and have left the greens in bad shape. I hate it for them but it will be a while before I’ll go back there.
We apologize for the current condition of our greens. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and we will take immediate action to resolve the issue. Thank you for your feedback.

Disappointed
We played here before, it was in much better shape, and the past. We have had hot and dry conditions down here, which may have contributed to the causes condition. I could not recommend it at the present time.

Better Than Timber Creek
Every aspect of playing at Lake Forest is much better than the other local course. Clearly they have done a ton of work on tee boxes, fairways, and the greens. Everything was in great condition and was fun to play. The carts are relatively new and all of the cart paths are in good condition.
Three negatives however are one: there isn’t a proper “turn” so you heavily rely on the beverage cart, but there is a nice restroom at hole ten if needed. The second is the driving range is irons only, which means you are hitting your driver for the first time off the first tee. Third the restaurant at the clubhouse is nothing to call home about. The food is adequate but definitely not a selling point.
All in all, a course worth playing.
We are sorry to hear about your experience at our golf course. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by members bypassing the marshal and slowing down the pace-of-play. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and we are glad you had a positive experience meeting other players during your round.
