Could easily give it 5 stars

Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Overall course is in very good shape. Tee boxes need some work but greens roll true and super fast. Fairways are in very good shape as well. No driving range which is somewhat annoying when trying to warm up for a round. However they do have a net you can hit into off of mats. Very nice putting green that as consistent with speed of greens on the course.

Pace of play was pretty slow. Took about 4.5 hours to play 18. Fortunately I was not in a big hurry.

Overall it’s a very nice course and well worth the modest green fee. Staff is great. I would definitely recommend it.

Great course!!

This was my 4th or 5th time playing Forest Oaks during the past two months while my home course is undergoing renovations. The course and staff are exceptional. Course is in great shape and staff is very friendly.

Only issue today was there were two groups of four waking ahead of us. No one was in front of them and they refused to let anyone play through. They basically backed everyone else up. I presume they were members who think they own the place. Every club has a group of them.

Overall this is a great place to play. Like I said, this was my 4th or 5th time playing and first tine I ran into a bunch of jerks who slowed everyone else up. The course is great though and I would recommend it!!

Overall very good day!

I would actually give Shipyard 4.5 stars if I could. The staff was great. I played the Galleon and Clipper nines. I am on vacation and played as a single and was grouped with a great threesome. A few of the greens had bare spots that were basically sand. Most of the tee boxes were pretty beaten up. Fairways were in very good shape. I didn’t hit many but they looked nice on my way to find my ball near the woods. But for a few greens and tee boxes, I would give higher rating. Overall very good place to play.

We're glad you enjoyed your time with us, in all honesty we do struggle a bit with our tee boxes, but we do have a plan in place this coming fall to put us in a better position for next year.

Great course!!!

Course is in fantastic shape. Pace of play was a little slow but it was very crowded. I had a single tee time and there was a group of three teeing off right behind me. I ask if they wanted to join so they would not have to wait on me all day. Great group of guys who play out there a lot.

Staff was very friendly. I paid $55 bucks for 18 with a cart and a bucket of balls. You cannot beat that price. because the course was in great shape-- especially with the volume of traffic.,

This course used to host the Greater Greensboro Open back in the day-- which is cool. The guys I played with said it fell into disrepair a while back but two local guys purchase the course and have put a lot of money into it.

My home course is closed for renovations until October. However, I will be playing Forest Oak until it reopens and then some. Frankly, I have payed a lot more $$ for a much worse course.
