A Nice Public Course

The course was well maintained, as it can be hit or miss with municipal courses. The pace was good due to my early tee time. A little later and the it appeared a somewhat crowded. Back nine is more difficult than the front. The tee boxes and green where on bluffs on much of the back nine holes. The staff in the pro shop were helpful and friendly. I definitely will be back.

Nice municipal course

Course is well taken care of, and currently being fixed up. Great little municipal course that won’t break the bank. Back nine has some fun elevation changes that challenge you but enjoyable.

Very good course, great staff

Grounds were a little soggy due to all the recent wet weather. Greens and tee boxes are in great shape. They made some improvements on the cart paths for this new year, which was long overdue and appreciated. 28.00 for 18 & a cart after 3:00 is worth the price.

Nice local course

Play was slow because course was busy. First time in five years playing and course was in decent shape, so really dry areas causing balls to bounce out of bound's.

Forest Park Golf

Lots of golfers and the rate is fair at Forest Park. Course was in decent shape. The cart paths are in bad shape with lots of deep ruts. The weather was gorgeous so we were happy to get outside and play.

Always decent

Play here about once a week. Municipal Course. The course is always in decent condition probably 7.5/10. Most course issues are from idiot golfers who like the lower price point.

Major issue is they have like 7 mins between tee times. Been times (Busy weekends/holidays) where there are multiple groups sitting at a tee box. Some due to the timing and some due to slow play.

I would recommend for sure unless you are going at 10-2pm on a holiday or busy weekend
