Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time to play Forest Park Golf Course without feeling rushed?

We always recommend an early morning tee time, especially on weekends, to beat the crowds that flock to this popular municipal track. You'll enjoy a much more relaxed pace and have the course mostly to yourself before the mid-morning rush truly sets in.

Is Forest Park Golf Course a good fit for high-handicappers, or is it more challenging?

Forest Park offers a surprisingly fair challenge, but don't let the parkland setting fool you- the mature trees demand accuracy off the tee. While beginners can certainly enjoy a round, we suggest focusing on course management to navigate the tighter fairways and avoid penalty strokes.

What should I expect to pay for a round at Forest Park, and is it worth it?

You'll find Forest Park to be an excellent value, especially for a course of its quality within a city park setting. Green fees are very reasonable, making it a fantastic option for a casual round without breaking the bank, and we think it's absolutely worth every penny.

What's the standout hole or unique feature at Forest Park Golf Course?

Keep an eye out for the par-3 12th; it's a real beauty, playing over a small pond to a well-guarded green. The course truly shines with its mature tree-lined fairways, giving you that classic parkland feel that's hard to find at this price point.

After a round, what's the best way to unwind near Forest Park Golf Course?

The clubhouse grill offers solid post-round fare and a cold drink, but we often head straight into the wider Forest Park itself. You'll find plenty of walking trails and scenic spots to relax and reflect on your round, making it a perfect extension to your golf day.
