Great round at Kings Forest in November

can’t believe we are able to play in November The only issue was that there is no sand in the sand traps. This defeats the purpose of having a well laid out course

Over Paid

The so called hot deal was higher than what I would have paid by going to the course directly.The course was offering a senior fall rate which was not reflected on GolfNow.

Golf Course with best Layout

It was always enjoyable to play at King’s Forest golf course. The staff is very cooperative. Both front nine and back nine are challenging with excellent layout and some level of difficulty. Also fir the given free fee it was afffordable via GolfNow.

Municipal Course

Great track, fairways were in great shape but the greens were in rough shape. Repair your ball marks on the greens people it isn't rocket science.

Lovely track!

This course could be outstanding except for the condition of the carts and some of the greens could use some TLC. That said, it is almost the end of the season here.

Great course

Don’t play here if you can’t hit fairly straight or you’ll be constantly looking for your ball. A really fun and challenging course, very enjoyable and beautiful scenery.
