Forest Park Golf Course - Dogwood

Course was in great shape considering a one inch plus overbite rain. Average difficulty, perfect for average players like us. We played Hawthorne and Rosebud..

Overall, the course is in good shape, especially the fairways. It appears they overwater the greens, which leads to numerous ball marks on the greens. With this course getting plenty of play, the greens are beat up a bit.

When they have tournaments, they need a course ranger at the intersection of Dogwood 1, Redbud 1 and between Dogwood 3 and 4. People get confused and play the wrong course. Better signage would help too. Overall, very organized for tournaments.

The Dogwood/Redbud are the best nines. More hills and variety. Hawthorne is flat.

Course has limited parking. Usually, have to park on the street.

The fairways and greens are in great condition. Overall, very nice!

For as much play as the three courses receive at Forest Park they are in wonderful condition. Tons of ball marks on the greens, however they roll well and true. Fairways are probably the highlight of this course with the turf allowing decent approach shots to the green.

They are playing twosomes due to the pandemic which slows play a bit, but we still finished in 3 1/2 hours with a busy day.

This course is definitely a great play if you are in the area.

Course was in great shape, for a course that gets so much play it’s a credit to the maintenance staff there!

Too many twosome Need to join others to make a foursome. Singles need to be ask to join common curtesy

Excellent views and scenery. Very fun strategic course setup.

Great day and perfect weather. Redwood 9 was a bit more challenging than the Dogwood 9. More hills and undulation. Greens were aerated, so it made putting a bit bumpy. A ton of leaves on the course due to the time of year, so that was kind of expected. All-in-all we had a wonderful day and a lot of fun. My only complaint is there were several twosomes which slowed pace of play up by about a half hour or more. A starter would be good for this course as it is always busy. Great course.

Surprisingly fun layout with great greens and scenic views all around—played the back tees and was forced to hit some solid shots into well-bunkered greens—par 3’a were particularly strong

I was in town for the weekend and got to play this course. Even though they had a tournament starting around noon, the staff was very accommodating. Everyone was very nice. Everything from fairways to greens and everything in between are in great condition. Greens rolled great.
If you’re in the area this course is a must!! Thank you guys at Forest Park!! Will be back

I play in a tournament at Forest Park every September. Considering it is a pubic muni and the amount of play this course gets, it is always in surprising good shape.

3 hours for 9 holes, and we had to skip one because a foursome was giving lessons to each other in the course? Come on. There needs to be a Marshall tracking play and preventing this stuff from happening.
