Forest golf resort, had fun!

Enjoyed our round of golf once we got by the pro shop! Staff was not very friendly or accommodating to us. Our cart had very bad moldy seat, and we asked to take a different one. All kinds of new ones there, but he wouldn't let us, said no they are in order?? Had to speak to the manager to get a new one. Once we got out on the course it was enjoyable

Fun Course

This course is not long but a good mix of holes for the average golfer. We did 18 in a little over 3 hours. It was a fun day and would love to try the hotel deal, stay and unlimited golf. The meals are also very reasonable with a patio overlooking the first hole.

FOREST GOLF& INN

The course was in good shape. The owners (Golf North) have investested money and time in bringing the course back. Fairways still need some work but much better than it was. Stayed and had lunch nice menu and good food

I know weekend golfing can be slow and it was very hot for early June. Both my wife and I felt the course may have been overbooked taking some of the fun out of our first experience.
We found the course interesting, yet our first impression leaves us unsure of another visit.

Fun Little Course

Lovely nature setting. Water makes a few holes quite 'interesting'. A couple of unique par 3 holes -- an Island Green; a steep (over the cliff) downhill over the water.
Greens particularly on the front nine were slow and rough.
Would play it again.

Nice course, however,

Greens need work Most of the greens were rough, - bumpy, old ball marks, covered with leaves and debris. Canada geese droppings on some greens and some of the fairways I had to watch where I was stepping.

Forest...

Small course - the greens were rough - very rough so some work is needed there. The birds were wonderful - saw some species you don't see often.
