Forest Park Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Forest Park Country Club for ideal conditions?

We've found that late spring, specifically May and early June, offers the perfect blend of lush course conditions and comfortable temperatures at Forest Park. You'll avoid the peak summer heat and humidity, ensuring a more enjoyable round and typically faster play. The course greens are usually at their absolute prime during this window, too.

What kind of challenge can I expect from Forest Park Country Club's layout?

Forest Park is a classic parkland layout that demands thoughtful shot placement, especially on its tree-lined back nine. The par-4 14th, with its tight dogleg left and elevated green, is a real card-wrecker if you're not precise off the tee. You'll need to manage your irons well to score here, as many greens are subtly sloped and well-guarded.

How do the green fees at Forest Park Country Club compare, and is it worth the cost?

Expect Forest Park's green fees to sit in the mid-to-upper tier for a private club offering public play in the region, typically ranging from $120-$180 depending on the day and time. We absolutely think it's worth it for the immaculate course conditions, excellent practice facilities, and the overall refined experience. You're paying for quality, and Forest Park delivers.

What are the practice facilities like at Forest Park Country Club, and are they included?

Forest Park boasts some of the best practice facilities we've seen, including a full-length driving range with quality balls, a large putting green, and a dedicated chipping area with a bunker. Your green fee typically includes access to these facilities, so arrive early and take advantage of them. It's a great way to dial in your short game before hitting the first tee.

Are golf carts mandatory at Forest Park Country Club, or can I walk the course?

While carts are readily available and most players opt for them, Forest Park Country Club is very walker-friendly, which we appreciate. The course terrain is gently rolling, making for a pleasant stroll if you prefer to carry your bag or use a pushcart. We always recommend walking if you can- it's the best way to truly experience the course's subtle nuances.
