VERY poorly maintained, Jun 24, 2004

reviewer: golfing domer from Memphis, TN

You couldn't find a course with poorer maintainance if you tried. Really low prices, and slow pace made it perfect when I began playing, but I don't ever want to go back. Be SURE to leave before dark.

Great for Beginners, Feb 20, 2004

reviewer: Anonymous from Cordova, TN

My son and I(mother) started playing golf about a year ago and this was the first course we played on and we liked it. No pressure from other golfers and mostly everyone there were beginners, elderly or people who had been away from the game a while. The course does offer you challenges so it isn't a bad course. But if you are an experienced golfer you would probably be disappointed with this course.

Sleeping Giant Golf Course
"Sleeping Giant"
This course has come a long way in a short time. It flows well with redesigned holes, sprawling views, upgraded grounds and greens conditions and a new driving range. Good parking and friendly staff are a plus.

Forest Park Golf Course
"Short but Great"
Since the course renovation in 1997 the new layout is great. Management has spent a lot of time and money fixing it up. It is a short course but very tight so it isn't as easy as it may seem. It is one of the most beautiful courses in NYC.

River Forest Country Club
"River Forest: A golfer's Golf Course."
Probably one of the most maligned course in Western Pennsylvania, and for good reason: River Forest is a very difficult layout, and not for Patzers who want to roll it up for a par or bogey, and not for long drivers who can find themselves with a 2 stroke penalty quickly. The course seems to have an uncanny, and sometimes eerie ability to locate and humble arrogant and inattentive golfers with triple or quadruple bogeys. Designed by original owner Wynn Treadway in the mid 60's, this classical purist believed in the straight ball and excellent short-game skills. Isn't that what golf should be about? Each par four has a specific landing area for the drives, otherwise one is penalized with line of sight problems or an uneven stance. This is usually followed by small, bunkered greens that require excellent putting skills. Although the par fives give some relief(At this point in your round, it is much welcomed!)the same applies to those greens as well. And these greens are more undulated than usual, to say the least, but that is the central character of this most challenging and beautiful golf course. If you like flat greens and wide fairways for your Jumbo driver, there are plenty of Public courses in the area for you. However,if you are a golfer and want to play the game as it should be played, then River Forest is for you. Just remember to bring your A game, some good wedges and just a little respect for an excellent golf course that, when you play well, it really means something. Beautiful is the word, so make sure you take a lot of time to look at the scenery. This usually has a calming affect that can enhance one's performance. Couple this with an extremely friendly and attentive clubhouse staff, will result in an exceptional golfing experience.
