Forest City National Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play Forest City National to experience its full beauty?

You'll want to aim for late spring or early fall here. The course truly shines when the surrounding foliage is either bursting green or ablaze with autumn colors, and the humidity isn't stifling like mid-summer can be. Plus, the fairways are typically in peak condition during these shoulder seasons.

What's the biggest challenge at Forest City National, and are there any must-see holes?

The back nine really tests your precision, especially holes 14 through 16, which demand accurate iron play over water. We particularly love the par-3 15th; it's a stunning downhill shot to a well-guarded green, offering fantastic views of the rolling Canadian landscape. Don't let the beauty distract you from the bunkers!

Is Forest City National worth the green fee, and what should I expect to pay?

Absolutely, it's a premium experience without the exorbitant price tag you might find elsewhere. Expect green fees to be in the CAD $100-150 range, which includes a cart - a wise choice given some of the elevation changes. You're paying for immaculate conditions and a truly memorable round.

What's the clubhouse vibe like at Forest City National, and is there good food after a round?

The clubhouse is comfortably upscale, not stuffy, and the patio overlooking the 18th green is a perfect spot to unwind. We always grab a post-round craft beer and their famous "Forest City Burger" - it's a local favorite and the perfect reward after tackling those challenging holes.

How easy is it to get to Forest City National, and what's nearby if I'm making a weekend trip?

It's conveniently located just a short drive from the city center, making access straightforward without feeling like you're in an urban jungle. If you're staying for a weekend, we suggest exploring the local craft breweries or hiking trails nearby; it's a great way to balance your golf with some local flavor.
