What could be bad?
Playing Forest Park is always a pleasuree. It's the course closest to Manhattan, so convenience is a plus.
I've never seen it in bad shape.
The staff act like old friends.
As the seaon starts and Covid recedes, I expect amenities will improve

Great staff
It was our first time playing at Forest Park. We played a foursome. Arrived early staff let us go out. They were very helpful and awesome. The tea boxes were improperly marked. I was not a fan of the course layout, very tight and could present some safety issues if played at one and two tee off at the same time. Overall, there’s just not enough room for 18 holes at this particular course.

winter golf
I guess winter golf is a good thing up north, it could always be worse. The couse has tee boxes that need work, hopefully they come back next season

Friendly staff, varied hikes. Great value
I play here about once a month. Well priced, often empty in afternoons. Maintenance on some holes right now but always playable. Love the friendly easygoing staff. The original course design was altered long long ago to create room for a playground so there are a few odd bits to the course but overall it’s a fun varied round through wooded terrain.
