Forest Greens
Haven’t played the course for about 10 years. Overall in decent condition. I’d give the greens a C+ (looks like they were recently aerated), the tee boxes an A and the fairways a C- it’s a nice layout but the fairways need a lot of water and care
steveraeder, thanks for taking time out of your day to review us. We will share this with the team!

Convenient Course
Enjoyed the course. Condition of the course was great and so was pace of play!
Really glad you had a positive experience, Gcitizen. Thanks for reviewing. Hope to see you again soon!
I can’t believe they’re charging full price for this
They don’t have grass. And before you say “it’s Bermuda, it’s just dormant,” the “fairways” are mostly hard packed black dirt with some dormant Bermuda grass. The greens are schizophrenic. They have different strains of grass all over so they are bumpy. The tee boxes are probably the least disappointing but not what they should be.
It’s almost May and they don’t have grass…
Geoff, so sorry to hear you had a disappointing experience. Your comments will be shared with the rest of the team and hope your next visit to Forest Greens is a great one.
Impressive greens
Haven’t play this course for over 10 years. Gave it a try for the rate that I paid for. Greens are impressive. Tee boxes are in good/fantastic shape. Fairway are good. Some thin spot here and there but don’t expect growth for this time of year. For $55 or less, worth pay to play.
Really glad you had a positive experience. Thanks for reviewing. See you soon!
Great conditions
Have played Forest Greens many, many times over the last few years. I have never seen it in better condition. Greens? Immaculate! Fairways? Thick and green, but not long. Tees? Tees? Very nice. Kudos to the maintenance team. I love the layout as well. Plenty of dog legs and elevation changes. All in all, a great course, beautiful weather, and good pace of play; not to boast but I corrected a swing flaw causing me to push many shots to the right. Check out Forest Greens. You won’t be disappointed.
ChinJen, thank you for the review. Have a wonderful day!
There is good course maintenance. Way better than year years ago. I like it!
We appreciate the review. Thanks for taking the time. We look forward to serving you again soon!
Great Staff/Nice Course
The course aeration is taking nicely and the greens were getting better. Another great day at Forest Greens.
Great Staff/Nice Course
Always a nice round here. As with many courses this time of year, it was recently aerated so the putting was a bit challenging but all in all an extremely enjoyable round of golf.
Fun Yet Challenging
We always enjoy playing this course. The staff is fantastic, and the course was in very good condition. For a Saturday afternoon the pace was much better than expected. All in all, a great day of golf.
Forest Greens
I love the course layout. The grass is in good shape but after spending big bucks to redo the sand traps, they have not kept them up like they should. Not a fan of their $62 rack rate, but better deals can be found.
Good greens, meh fairways
The greens were in very good condition. Fairly fast and firm but would still hold a good approach. The fairways at FG are always late coming in due to the bermuda grass but they really haven't filled in well this year. I had a number of sketchy lies in the fairway. Rough was not too penal. The bunkers now have nice, soft white sand in them which is great. The problem is players not even attempting to rake them...not the courses fault. Come on people, we're better than that! I'll def play Forest Greens again.
Familiar Course is always Pretty Good
Course gets lots of play and it shows as many neglect raking bunkers and repairing ball marks and divots (typical of public golf in the DC area). They've removed water coolers from the course (due to reasons). Range balls were in good condition, hitting mats not so much.
Great early Sunday walk
FG is my go to course for an early morning weekend round as they let me walk every time without question.
