Everything you need

I play this course regularly, very friendly and accommodating staff. Course is one of the oldest in city, walkable, entertaining and fun to play. During week pace of play very nice, weekends not so much. Course with par 5s, long par3, blind shots, elevation and open. Fairways somewhat narrow with plenty of space to find your ball tho, greens good and firm. Small snack bar and restrooms at pro shop, none on course, not even a portajohn.

What could be bad?

Playing Forest Park is always a pleasuree. It's the course closest to Manhattan, so convenience is a plus.
I've never seen it in bad shape.
The staff act like old friends.
As the seaon starts and Covid recedes, I expect amenities will improve

First Time Playing

Great staff

It was our first time playing at Forest Park. We played a foursome. Arrived early staff let us go out. They were very helpful and awesome. The tea boxes were improperly marked. I was not a fan of the course layout, very tight and could present some safety issues if played at one and two tee off at the same time. Overall, there’s just not enough room for 18 holes at this particular course.

winter golf

I guess winter golf is a good thing up north, it could always be worse. The couse has tee boxes that need work, hopefully they come back next season
