Forest Oaks Golf Club in Lake Worth is a public course that is still one of south Florida's best-kept secrets despite having good conditions and affordable rates. The golf course offers an enjoyable round that is challenging but playable. Opened in the 1970s, it has a classic layout that showcases what Florida golf courses are known for. It is a tight layout that requires a fair amount of accuracy but beginners won't feel too out of their league. The layout offers an excellent transition from an executive course. It measures less than 6,000 yards, offering a quick and enjoyable round for more advanced players. Forest Oaks G.C. offers the quality and conditions of a country club course but the friendly and casual atmosphere of a public facility.

Tight! Fast Play! Cheap!

Very tight fairways, almost every hole involves water. Fast play due to no body being out there except for a couple. Course condition average. greens slow due to not being cut low.

Enjoyable

My wife and I enjoyed playing this course, not being great golfers, we found it to meet our type of play. There’s no denying it could use some “TLC”. However for the value it was well worth playing here. Staff very friendly.

Rough course but the greens are good

It's short and tight, poor tee boxes and fairways, lot's of water and drainage ditches. Greens were in good shape. Plus there was group of old duffers who joined with other old duffers and there were 6 carts ahead of us for a while...really?

Staff is very accommodating

If you book on GolfNow app, do not use the map it feature, it is not the correct directions. Pace was slow, but we didn’t have to play with strangers
