Enjoyable and a good value

Pros: price was reasonable and even included a free dog, free beer and free small bucket. The staff in the pro shop was very nice, the snack bar not so much. Driving range is OK but we had to hit off mats. Fairways were good for this time of year. The greens are not great but they putted pretty true. It just looks like they are struggling to keep the greens healthy. There are some bald spots here and there. Overall, I don't think the greens were a serious drawback unless you are picky. Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience, well worth the green fee. This is an interesting track and some holes are quirky but fun. Recommended.

Greens are rough

Too much money for the conditions. Greene were in bad shape, lots of dead spots and pained dirt. Need to lower prices or get the course back in good shape.

Thoroughly disappointed in the green condition at this time. Price way out of line to current course condition. I’ll give them a long break to get it together

The greens were disappointing, was expecting better

Overall my two comments are the Pace of Play was a little slow, we approached 5 hrs. Second were the inconsistences in the Greens were not good. Each green was either Fast or Slow, Bumpy or Smooth, and you had to deal with one of those four combinations. I know with the winter we had some issues, which are inevitable, but this was pretty bad. I know they will get the Greens in good shape in a month or so, but I expected better.

One of the best public courses in the area

Every time I visit Forest Creek, I do have a great time. Staffs are friendly, especially starters and marshals.

Course condition was great, in my opinion, and the course does have challenging aspects so you're constantly motivated to play well.

One thing that I also like is how they provide you with hotdogs and drinks included in the price, as well as a small bucket of range balls.

Water is also included in the cart as well, something that many public courses stopped doing. You just feel like you're being treated nicely.

Last but not least, while playing golf, enjoy the surroundings and some really nice houses along the course :-)

Sad greens

Tee boxes and fairways where not green but there was grass out there. But all the the greens had no green. Just painted dirt. They don't seed with rye during the winter for whatever reason so the greens were bad. Mainly dirt and green paint.

Great time

Staff was so friendly and gave a great experience. Greens were not great, but as expected for this time of year. Layout was very challenging with some tight fairways. I don't recommend purchasing hot deal as it doesn't come with free range balls or free lunch with normal green fee.

It's golf in February...

Great course and layout - actually pretty tough but we played with some locals so got a lot of insight from them. It's February so the conditions were what they were..

Quit after 9 holes

I usually like playing this course. This Wed it was the worst I have experienced. Greens are usually in nice shape. They were average at best, same for fairways. But by far was the terrible pace of play. It took almost 3 hours to play the front 9. Two groups in front of us. From the 5th hole, we could see no one was on the 6th green, nor the entire par 5 7th hole. SO that one group was at least two holes behind. We never once saw a marshal to speed things along. Because of all this, I would not recommend the course until the pace of play improves.

Slow round

Great course layout with challenging features. Only challenge was a frost delay (not a usual occurrence, I know). This created slow play and delay in getting off regularly scheduled tee time.

That aside, worth the drive.

Way over priced for greens that are this bad.

I just can’t believe that these greens are in this condition after being replace 10 years ago. The greens are dormant like all greens are during winter, but these are covered in rot or fungicides. No true roll, your putting on rotted greens.
