Frequently Asked Questions

What's the real challenge at Forest Hills, and which hole should I look forward to?

Forest Hills truly tests your short game, especially around the greens, which are notoriously undulating and fast. Keep an eye out for the par-3 14th; it plays downhill over a natural ravine to a tucked-away green, demanding precision and a bit of nerve.

When is the best time of year to play Forest Hills for ideal conditions and fewer crowds?

We always recommend visiting Forest Hills in late spring, typically May or early June, when the azaleas are in bloom and the course is lush. You'll find the weather perfect for golf, and it's just before the peak summer rush, meaning a more relaxed pace of play.

What should I expect to pay for a round at Forest Hills, and is it worth the green fee?

Green fees at Forest Hills usually range from $90-$130, depending on the season and time of day, which we find to be excellent value for the quality. You're paying for meticulously maintained fairways, challenging greens, and a truly memorable layout that feels much more exclusive than the price suggests.

Beyond the golf, what makes the overall experience at Forest Hills unique?

The natural beauty surrounding Forest Hills is a huge part of its charm; you'll often spot deer grazing near the back nine, and the views from the elevated tees are stunning. Don't skip a post-round drink on the clubhouse patio-it overlooks the 18th green and is the perfect spot to relive your best shots.

Any specific advice for first-timers playing Forest Hills, especially regarding booking or course navigation?

Definitely book your tee time at least two weeks in advance, especially for weekend mornings, as Forest Hills is a local favorite. We also suggest grabbing a course guide; there are a few blind shots and subtle doglegs that are much easier to navigate with a little local knowledge.
