Our 'experience' began with our friends being asked to leave the grounds because they showed up more than an hour before our tee time. They arrived at 11:10 for our 12:18 tee time. They were asked to leave the grounds until the 'appointed hour' by the security guard. With the exception of the bag drop staff, we found the attitude of ALL other employees to be, at best, indifferent, but mostly unwelcoming. We wanted to meet for lunch (hence the early arrival) but we could only eat outside as indoor dining is reserved for members. This is a private country club that appears to enjoy the additional revenue from the outside public, but not the presence of the players themselves.
We have played at many of Southwest Florida's private courses, and Forest Glen is the exception to the usual friendly and welcoming attitude in the area.
The course itself is well laid out, in good condition, with the greens true, albeit not fast.
Play somewhere else, where you will feel welcome, not as an intruder.

Good public course, excellent range and short game areas. Straightforward layout, very playable.
I played with my wife and we were paired with another twosome. I'm a 10 handicap and like to play fast, so the five hour round waiting on most shots was the biggest negative. Despite that, I'll play again.

Excellent course, nice facilities. Good driving holes, though there are 3 par 4's in a row on the back where a hybrid or 5 wood are best off the tee. Take a sky caddie or yardage book, not all trouble viable from the tee boxes.
First time we played staff was a little cold. Much better the second time around. Manager in the bar was top shelf.
