Tight little course
You get what you pay for. Ok, but nothing special.
Wasn’t worth the Time
Was almost hit by golf balls while on the next tee box. Layout is quite snug.
You Get What You Pay For
Wasn't expecting much for a reduced Golfnow rate of less than $40 on a South Florida course in season, and reports are that it has been sold to developers, so it appears not a lot of maintenance is being put into it. Fairways are narrow and very thin (although that provides for a lot of bounce). Not a long course, and it has a significant amount of water and par 3s. Weeds and sandy areas were everywhere. Very nice staff
Pleasantly surprised
Upon approaching the course I was concerned as the parking lot and "clubhouse" were far worse facilities than I expected. But the course itself was the real surprise. It is well kept. The fairways are narrow and challenging. If your ball stays dry should it veer off the fairway, the rough is generally playable. The traps are groomed. The greens are small and challenging. Most, if not all are elevated and sloped.
All in all, a great course, especially for the price.

Friendly people , very Challenging course had a great time
Forest Oaks
Greens played faster than they looked, good condition. Fairways could use a little more grass, good layout, nice mixture of short and long holes, straight and dog legs. Good deal for the money!
This course lacks maintenane
If the owners have decided to keep it open, ther must do something fast to make it fun to play.
Nice golf but a little expensive
All the greens were in very good shape and lots of water in the course, so lost lots of balls
Pace of play terrible !
There was a group of 39 people in front of us, some hole took 24 minutes. (I counted) I can understand that these elderly people (like me) can be happy to be in Florida and healthy (all Canadians like us ) but it's not a reason to forget what is etiquette at golf , we were not capable of waiting after every shot, we left at hole # 11, fortunately I had a good price on golfNow
