Always a Treat

This course always seems to bring out the best in me. I played with a friend who grew up in the neighborhood and who had not played there in 30 years. He was pleasantly surprised at the good condition of the course.

Good course

Good course. Good greens, some of the tee boxes were being moved to new locations and we had to play across temporary tees. The fairways do run into each other, so cries of "fore" are frequent. Some of the fairways are quite undulating too, and one has to play blind, particularly hole 4, where thankfully there is a Marshall indicating when to tee off. Very interesting course.

All it needs to be

I played Forest Park for the first time this weekend with my dad. It gets the job done. It’s local, it’s not crazy expensive, and the course is reasonably laid out. There are some compromises of course, because it’s in New York with limited space. No driving range, it’s a very short course in terms of length, the holes are tightly packed close to each so you’ll routinely see other shots from other players fly in near you(you’ll have to be aware of your surroundings here). There is no fancy restaurant or caddies.

If you can look past these things, it’s a good course. Ponds, trees, birds, relative quiet, and straightforward unpretentious golf. Can’t beat it for the location and convenience.

Tight course and slow play on the holiday weekend

Staff was friendly, but it’s a tough course to endure for 5.5+ hours and right holes leading to being under fire on most holes. Especially the last 3 holes seem strangely laid out and leads to a lot of people hitting into each other.

Good value.
Good test.
Tee boxes need a lot of care.
Very slow play… Sunday holiday weekend.
Players need to repair green hallmarks to keep greens decent.
