Forest Greens Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Forest Greens Golf Course a good fit for high-handicappers, or is it more for experienced players?

You'll find Forest Greens strikes a great balance. While the back nine offers some genuinely challenging holes, especially the tight par-4 14th with its demanding approach, the front nine is quite forgiving with wider fairways, making it enjoyable for all skill levels. Don't let the name fool you- it's not just about dense woods, but smart shot placement.

When's the prime time to play Forest Greens for the best conditions?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring, typically May or early June, or again in early autumn around September. That's when the bentgrass greens are at their purest, rolling fast and true, and the fairways are lush without being overly wet. You'll avoid the summer heat and enjoy perfect playing weather and vibrant foliage.

What's the must-play hole at Forest Greens, and what makes it special?

Without a doubt, you have to experience the par-3 7th hole. It's a stunning downhill shot over a natural ravine to a well-guarded green, offering incredible views of the surrounding forest canopy. Trust us, it's a postcard moment and a real test of your short iron accuracy.

Are the green fees at Forest Greens worth it, or is it overpriced?

Forest Greens offers fantastic value for the quality of golf you get. While it's not the cheapest public course, the mid-range green fees are justified by the immaculate conditioning and thoughtful layout. You're paying for a consistently well-maintained course and a truly enjoyable round, especially compared to some pricier options nearby.

How busy does Forest Greens get, and what's the typical pace of play like?

On weekends, Forest Greens can definitely get busy, so we always recommend booking an early morning tee time to ensure a smooth round. The course marshals do a good job of keeping things moving, but expect a 4.5-hour round on peak days. Weekday afternoons are usually more relaxed if you prefer a quicker pace.
