Good course Good price

It was a bit hot, but not horrible. The course was in descent condition. It had been raining days prior so the fairways were a bit wet in some areas (mainly fairways). Started off a little slow with a single jumping in front of our group, but the pace picked up after a few holes. Back nine was a lot slower with a group of four inexperienced players, but they at least played from the forward tees. My son and I got a cheese burger at the turn and it was pretty good. Staff was friendly and courteous. Over all, a wonderful day out with my son and friends.

Greens are in great shape

We had a great time playing this course today. It’s in a lot better shape than it has been in the past. The greens are in really good condition as well as the fairways. The rough isn’t too thick and was manageable. We are overall very pleased with the course.

NICE FIND

First time I played this course. Not to far for me to drive, within 30 min. Tight fairways and a few challenging hole layouts. Booked one of the first tee times, so pace of play was perfect. I'll definitely play here again.

Forest Park Redbud & Dogwood

Great day and perfect weather. Redwood 9 was a bit more challenging than the Dogwood 9. More hills and undulation. Greens were aerated, so it made putting a bit bumpy. A ton of leaves on the course due to the time of year, so that was kind of expected. All-in-all we had a wonderful day and a lot of fun. My only complaint is there were several twosomes which slowed pace of play up by about a half hour or more. A starter would be good for this course as it is always busy. Great course.

Condition was great

I booked a late tee time (4pm) hoping to miss most of the crowd, but there were several groups ahead of us that were playing a bit slower than pace of play. My son and I play this course a few times a year and always enjoy it. We called it quits after 12 holes (roughly 7pm) as we were waiting too long to tee off. Average of 25 min per hole is unacceptable for me. Pace of play was right at 5 plus hrs for 18 holes. We would have never made all 18 if we continued until dark. A bit disappointed in this, but we really enjoy the course so we will definitely be back. Great course to play and would recommend it to others. My advice would be to play it during the week during business hours.
