“Great Layout with many opportunities for Risk and reward shots to score. Great Condition on the Bend Greens with lot's of slope to navigate."

“Very private club, but if the opportunity to play arises, it's worth your time, especially to experience the conditioning of the course. A few memorable holes near water, but overall, many doglegs that challenge you to think through tee shots. Generally open fairways and quick, demanding greens."

“This is a routing masterpiece. Very good course with subtle elevation changes and inspiring shots into every green. Looks like a cathedral in the pines as sun shines through in late afternoon. Is a completely different experienced compared with the more wild North Course. Precise driving areas but with room to miss though not without paying a price. 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. Forest Creek South demands all kinds of shots. Is fair. Has two beautiful forced carries across water on the par-4 9th and par-3 17th. Here we find the best back nine of the two courses. Every hole is presents both beauty and challenges. 12-18 will make or break a round. The par-4, 13th demands two perfect shots. The par-5, 14th is reachable but only with two excellent shots. The dogleg left, par-4, 15th requires a perfect long drive followed by an excellent approach into a tricky, narrow green. The straightaway par-4, 16th requires precision into a narrow driving areas, then an approach across a barranca. The 17th is a beautiful par-3 over water from an elevated tee. The 18th is long from the back tees. It has a crowned green bringing water behind that green into play. Precision is a must. A new, expanded driving range improves the facility"

“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."

“The older of the two courses and less heralded but is a pleasure to play. Spend some tiome in the men's locker room. It is pretty special."
