Not worth it

It’s a crime they charge $68 on a weekday to begin with but while the course is under construction to still charge that price is ridiculous to tee off in dirt the rest of the course was average at best wouldn’t play here again

Forest Park Home field advantage

I've been playing here for over 30 years. Great course. Tight in spots. New tee boxes going up on holes 4 & 6. Know it like the back of my hand.

First Time Playing

Really impressed

Thought it was gonna be poorly maintained based on city courses I’ve played (in other cities, not New York), but was surprised at how well maintained it was. There was one hole where the tee box is a piece of turf but other than that, didn’t notice any other issues. Short course but worth it. Expensive in my opinion but that’s to be expected.

Greens were great

pace of play was excellent in the middle of the day on a Tuesday. Except for three or four tee boxes made of dirt. The course was in fantastic shape, especially the greens which for this time of year are playing like we are in late May. Great round.

The course is a little beat up

The tee boxes are beat up or don't have grass at all, and is littered with broken tees. It's not bad for the price, but it could use sone TLC.

Best score of my life

I got my best score of my life today (78). I wish i could give 5* to the course. I love the location, layout and staffs. But the condition (tee boxes are really terrible for so long time). If the course get better maintainance, it would be the best around NYC. Then I will play there frequently.
