Finally Played The Back 9

Last time we played Forest Oaks the back 9 was closed. Played the whole course this time and enjoyed every minute. Entire course was in great shape and the greens were amazing.

Slow slow

Second time playing the course again very slow play! Teetimes are eight minutes apart, they are apparently trying to put too many people onto the course at the same time.

Good Course

Greens were punched recently, which had some effect on putts 6-10 feet, but that's OK. Lost me about 3-5 strokes, but that's OK. Greens will probably be perfect next time. Great course.

The greens had recently been punched and had not yet recovered

We still enjoyed our time together and had a lot of fun.

Blue Sky Day

Corse was in good shape although the greens were still bumpy from being aerated e few weeks ago. Had a walking threesome hold everyone up on the back side, would have been nice to have a ranger out to move them along. Some tees had 2 groups backed up. Overall good experience.

Great Course. Exceeded Expectations

I played here after work, with a colleague. Golf Now helped me find a venue.

We played late, knowing finishing would be a challenge. Played 17 of the 18 holes. Greens were still sanded, recovering from aeration. Didn't effect the putting too much. Made the approach shots nice and soft ...

Overall, great layout. I will return.

Fun and difficult course

The fairways, tee boxes and rough were great. The rough is very tough. I had a horrible lie everytime I missed the fairway. The greens were sanded on Monday. They DIDN"T update the website. very disappointing. Give it 10 days for the greens to recover--

One of the best in the area!

Course is in beautiful shape. Putting green, pro shop, snack bar all take the place to the next level. Course is in fantastic shape! Greens roll fast and true, fairways in gorgeous shape, and rough provides welcomed challenge. Great value for the money. Definitely will make the 1:20 trip down to play this course again.

Great course!!

This was my 4th or 5th time playing Forest Oaks during the past two months while my home course is undergoing renovations. The course and staff are exceptional. Course is in great shape and staff is very friendly.

Only issue today was there were two groups of four waking ahead of us. No one was in front of them and they refused to let anyone play through. They basically backed everyone else up. I presume they were members who think they own the place. Every club has a group of them.

Overall this is a great place to play. Like I said, this was my 4th or 5th time playing and first tine I ran into a bunch of jerks who slowed everyone else up. The course is great though and I would recommend it!!

Good Cheap place to play

Good. Value for the price. Regular $25-$27 rates and you can pretty much play 27 since everything closes up early once the late afternoon. Tee times tee off. We call it 27 for $27! Take advantage while you can of rates just a few bucks more than members cart fees!!
