Perfect Day

Good weather, good friends and a great day on a beautiful course, who could ask for more? Forest Golf & CC is a very picturesque course. Nature every where you look, plant life, water, fox and other wildlife. The course can be challenging espesically the water holes and the island green so take extra balls.

Windy

We played the course on a very windy day. It seemed every hole was being played into it. Course was in average condition. Greens could be in better shape but a very good value for the money.

Great for irons!

Course is in great condition other than some of their weedy bunkers! Drive the green for quite a few holes. If you are a long driver, you may overhit their greens. Great for irons as you can use them quite a bit! Restaurant is decent too!

Will play again!

Quick and Amazing Early Day Round

Booked the deal for a Friday morning at 8:12am. Arrived early and was permitted to tee off early (7:45am). The course was in excellent condition. The 18 hole course is fairly short, only used driver on 5 holes however a good tee shot is rewarded with short approach to green. The greens have moderate to severe undulation. Thoroughly enjoyed the round and will play again. Paid $25 included taxes for 18 holes and a cart.

Walked

Good short course

Though not advertised as such, this is what I would call an executive 18 course. No need for a driver on these holes. Great chance to work on your short game. As always, first time around lets you assess where you should have played your shots. Certainly a fun course, and good value at Hot Deal prices. Lots of contour on the greens so beware the dreaded 3-putt.

Good golf value in Forest, Ontario

My wife and I played during a short vacation in the Forest area.

Per other reviews, the course is short so it favours someone who doesn't hit a long ball off the tee. However, there is lots of water hazards, mature trees and other things that make the round challenging. Greens were in decent shape. Fairways were also in good shape. The island-green was a nice surprise.

We enjoyed our round and will be back before the season is over.

Very scenic

Animal life around the course was exceptional and enjoyed it very much. Greens and fairways were in excellent condition and with many challenges if you so wish to take. We definetly will be back to do 27 holes because my wife was not worn out after 18 and this was probably due to the length of the course. Great course for your short game.

Nice little getaway

My son and I played here for a little outing. It was moderately priced and fun to play. It has its challenging holes, especially the 'island' green. We both landed on, but, can imagine how many balls would have found a resting place at the bottom of the water that surrounds 75% of the green. The 17th offers a high tee area to a low green that has a little creek running in front of it and trees behind it. Nice to land on it and get my par!! We ate the fish (got TWO pieces) with the home fries and coleslaw. It was excellent and we enjoyed!! Beers were a bit pricey. Overall nice outing to Forest. Will go again.
