Forest Lake Golf Club

The gents at the pro shop were great, and were able to accommodate getting on the tee sheet with short notice. The course offers a great grass tee driving range for warm up (extra charge), and an expansive chipping and practice green. The course itself, was in excellent condition and the back nine was a good challenge which included a newly re-designed hole 16 I believe. I see pace of play being a concern for other reviews, but we finished 18 in a reasonable 4 hr and 15 minute. Few times we waited on the front nine, other than that no problem.

Forest Lake Golf Club in Central Florida is a true gem! The course boasts fantastic condition with rolling fairways, a grass driving range, and a practice area featuring two chipping greens. They also have a practice bunker and a practice green available. The course layout is pure golf—no homes in sight, just a scenic and meticulously maintained course that caters to golfers of all skill levels. After a satisfying round, Rusty Niblick Pub & Grill is the ideal spot to unwind and savor delicious, reasonably priced food. The welcoming atmosphere and top-notch service make it a perfect choice for relaxation. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, Forest Lake is an absolute must-play!

The practice green and chipping facility are in good shape and gives a variety of different shot looks. The driving range is in very rough shape and would not recommend for a quick bucket. The pro shop guys were great and warned me about the possibility of slow play and while I appreciate that, I cut my round short at nine holes due to it taking just under three hours, I was playing as a single and would’ve preferred to be paired up to keep the pace of play consistent. The cart guy had an attitude and I’ll leave it at that. The course itself, I only saw the back nine but it was not in good shape. The greens had good coverage but were very slow which is expected during summer time. The fairways on a couple of the holes were almost unidentifiable and most were covered in goose grass and spurge weeds. To sum it up, the price at which I paid did not equal the value of the course conditions. At this time, I would recommend seeking other options for your next round.
