Cool place to be

On a 104 degree day, it was so hot even the holes were sweating. The course has many shaded areas to get out of the sun. There are some noted improvements since we played it last year with the new bridges. The cart paths could use a little grading. The fairways and greens were in phenomenal conditional. All in all had a great day!

Nice course

It's short but I would say that's it's only fault.
It's beautiful, well manicured and maintained.
Ideal for stay and play. 27 holes to keep things interesting.

Nice course for seniors

Short course. I hit alot if irons off the tee. The tee-offs are bad. No grass. Just weeds and mud. Pro shop staff was nice. I played for $22 including tax riding. Normal . Rate for 2 people riding is $90

Good day

Played at 8:30am. Course was quiet and finished in 2.5 hrs. This is a short course with moderate difficulty. Great course to practice with your irons. I like this course when there's a discount. Probably wouldn't play here ever for full price. Value is good if discounted.

Disappointing....

We had a Tee time of 1:44 on the 18 hole course. Arrived at 1:15 had to wait for a large group to be checked in. They had a Tee off time of 1:30 and there was 20 of them and they all wanted to play together, the first foursome teed off at 1:50?? Who knows what time we would have been able to tee off after the group had all commenced their round. My husband spoke to the gentleman in the pro shop and he said we could tee off immediately on the 9 hole course or wait......not impressed we ended up playing 9 holes of golf and paid for 18...wont be back anytime soon.

First time out this season. Great day.

Staff friendly and helpful.
Fairways and greens in good shape considering the rain we have had.
Will play this course several times this summer.
I like the open fairways, works well for my type of game (right,left, right, left)
My wife and daughterinlaw also enjoy playing there.

Forest: a good bet for senior, junior and women golfers

27 holes, so you have another option on busy play days.
Some undulating greens that demand more attention to putting.
Water lurks on half of the 27 holes, a factor for higher handicappers, with errant shots': two holes are carries over water.
No par 5s, shorter par 4s:: 6 are driveable. Forest tests the short game with some postage stamp greens which always hold. I can only think of one sand trap.
This is a good bet for skilled seniors to shoot their age.
