Excellent course, but the greens are not good now, I never seen the greens like this.
Greens
Normally I would rate the course conditions excellent but some of the greens are struggling from the winter. I’m sure they will be back in tip top condition very soon. Still one of the best public courses in the CSRA.
Thank you for your review, Golf985. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Forest Hills Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Greens are heavily damaged
The greens are heavily damaged including the practice putting area. The range was closed and it was cart path only due to recent rain which made pace of play slow.
Thank you for taking the time to review our business and bringing the condition of the greens and practice putting area to our attention. We apologize for any negative experience this may have caused, as we are continuously striving to improve our facilities.
Greens Under Repair
I love the course and it’s always tough when the greens are being worked on. Can’t wait to see and play them in a few weeks.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, Britigan. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Forest Hills Golf Club!
Poor Forest Hills…
This time a year ago the greens were smooth and fast. The course has since lost their greens. Like other reviews state, they are very slow. The greens are stimping between 6-8 depending on whether you’re putting on dirt or grass (the dirt is faster). So I just took two putts and moved on since they are not true greens. Good news is the normally impossible pins weren’t so tough since the slow greens made them accessible. Fairways and tees in great shape. I like the cart and GPS upgrades. Pace of play was great. Not busy at all, probably owing to the bad greens. Only played due to having multiple GolfNow credits. Won’t be back until the greens are repaired.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review about your recent experience at our course. We apologize for the current condition of our greens and understand your disappointment. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back once our greens are restored.
Greens are horrible
Not worth the price considering the terrible greens.

Good
Considering the weather we have been having the course was in decent shape. Bunkers were a little shaky on the sand.
Hi, Golf985. We would love to hear more about your positive experience on our course. Please contact us to share with us your favorite part of your experience. Thanks for golfing at Forest Hills Golf Club!
Pace of play
Overall, a nice and challenging course. On the third hole we got help up by a group of five and by the 5th hole it turned into a group of 8 (all seemingly college players) that came through the fence by the range. We waited on every shot with NO courtesy to let us play through (we were two). Asking for a refund if this happens again because I do want to try an enjoyable round there and I am here frequently now for work.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, gc1292221178. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Forest Hills Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Pleasant Day
Walked 18 since it was cart path only due to recent rain the day before. It really could’ve been 90 degrees except for a few holes but walking was fine since it was cool. Greens were quick but not as quick as usual. Playing on a weekday after a rain storm was great as it wasn’t busy at all. Had the course to myself. Pins were tucked in their usual corners but all in all it was a fun day.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, u000007656288. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Forest Hills Golf Club thanks you!

Questionable hole locations
Course was in great shape as usual. Course was kind of empty due to rain earlier in the day which didn’t bother me. Only issue continues to be some questionable hole locations. The USGA recommends hole locations no fewer than 5 paces from the collar. However some pin placements did not meet this guidance. Especially No. 16 where the pin was 3 paces from the edge or only 9 feet. I was pinhigh left by about 20 feet to an extreme back right hole location and couldn’t even put directly at the hole. The other option would be to chip which I’m sure the superintendent would not like. I don’t expect gimme pins but even the PGA doesn’t set pins like what I saw on 16.
Hi, u000007656288. Thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad you had enjoyed your time at Forest Hills Golf Club, and pride ourselves on delivering the best experience possible.
We hope to see you again soon!
Not disappointed
Third time to play and heard the course was in great shape, and despite the weather, it was a great round. Greens rolled well and fairways were nice. Some tee boxes needed a little love though.
Weekends are slow and I was paired with some high handicappers, but they were great to play with. Worth a try for sure.
