Had to wait 30mins for a dirty golf cart. Starter(Amin?) is the rudest employee I've ever encountered at a golf course. 2:45pm tee time couldn't finish(darkness) after 5 1/2hrs due to overbooking. STAY AWAY!

Been dreaming of playing this course for several years. However, it is about a 6hr drive away. Finally said heck with it. I booked a $78 hot deal time for me & my son as a final summer golf trip. We have played several top 100 courses but forest dunes would be the highest rated we have played. Was so looking forward to it even with the LONG drive. Being from central Ohio we have played over half of the top rated courses in Ohio alone. As well as many other very fine courses that do not show up on top lists... Anyway, after leaving the house at 8am and arriving at forest dunes just before 2pm we were both beyond excited. After arriving we quickly loaded up and checked in. Hit a few balls on the range to get warmed up and on to the 1st tee. We were in golf heaven. Or so we thought. After finishing on the 1st green we knew the bug spray (RARELY use) which i carry in my bag must be applied. We proceeded to apply bug spray at least every other hole to no avail. For the next 4hrs we were caught in a SWARM of gnats! Felt as if i swallowed, inhaled and was ear penetrated by 100's of gnats during our round. We sincerely tried to ignore the problem and enjoy the beautiful course and facilities. I honestly could not take even a moment to look around and enjoy the highly rated course we drove so far and spent so much to play. All i can say is whomever has rated this course must have been furnished much superior bug spray than i have. A dream golf trip shattered. $156 for a forest dunes twosome hot deal + $80 in gas for a 12hr round trip drive + besieged by a million gnats = a unexpected horrible golfing experience.

Tried to sneak a round in during the middle of November. Some guy scolded me on the course for driving too close the greens. The course was in horrible condition and there were cart marks much closer than i ever was. Tried to explain that to him and got a rude response. Pretty much ruined the round. Ive played some of the finer courses in Ohio and have never been treated in such a manner. You would think that they would be happy with any business they get considering the time of year and the course conditions.

Took my 10 yr. old daughter to play 9 and had a good time. The grumpy guy behind the counter didnt even charge me for her to play. Which is why i gave 2 stars instead of 1. Thanks buddy. A few of the greens were horrible. But was pleasantly surprised that a couple were pretty decent. Kind of a neat little layout.

After a bit of hassle due to an apparent error with the golfnow rate, we got the deal which we booked. The gentleman in the pro shop stated that we could not receive all that was promised. Which was the all inclusive deal at a discounted rate. After some discussion we received what was expected. Me and my son played 36 holes and had a great time. One of our more memorable golf experiences.

Have never left a review before, however had such a great experience felt compelled to. Have played some of the top rated courses in Ohio and this ranks near the top. The course was in great shape with a nice layout for links-style which i am not normally a big fan of. Wide fairways which are immaculate and has large greens that roll true. Rough was very nice as well. Had a great time and will definitely play again.
