“Great layout with many opportunities for risk and reward shots to score. Great condition on the Bent greens with lots of slope to navigate."

Review

“Very good parkland course with strong elevation changes and inspiring shots into every green. Looks like a cathedral in the pines as sun shines through in late afternoon. The course demands all kinds of shots. Is fair. Can save at least a bogey just about anywhere. Precise driving areas but with room to miss (Not without paying, however). Forest Creek South is demanding and fair. Only weakness might be a redundancy in the downhill par-3's, but honestly, I never noticed that until after the round. A great walk."
