What The Club Says
A fantastic parkland - woodland course for all golfing abilities which offers more to the golfer than just a round, such as the outstanding natural scenary, especially the vast amounts of mature trees.

A nice venue and challenge
A nice venue and challenge in the Leicestershire countryside. Great layout of the course with some tricky tee shots. A long par 73 run with lovely views around the area. Fantastic clubhouse, a minimal shop due to ongoing administrative issues, which is a shame. Obviously spent some money in the club, gym and dining facilities, which again the the catering on the day was superb. We were made to feel very welcome, enjoyed the match company and the weather, speaking of which like everywhere at the moment the rain would be most welcome to the ground. Tee areas were good as were the fairways with plenty of run time but sadly the greens were extremely slow and awkward to get used to over just 18 holes. Didn't ruin the day one bit and I look forward to a return visit.Reviewer Rating

Worst course in Leicestershire. Like walking through a quagmire. Temporary tees. 9 holes open. No trolleys. 4 temporary greens. Temprary greens not cut and just a faded white line round them.Green staff picking up balls on drive range. No work on course. Tire marks on greens. Ditches full of water.

Not worth visiting
This course has gone gradually downhill. Incredibly poor set up. No pro’s shop.The course is in poor condition playing off small mats with only red tee markers.( one mat is set on a pallet that rocks when you stand on it). Very poor maintenance generally - boggy areas, bare muddy patches, bunkers not raked for months with weeds growing in them. There are much better courses in the area.

Municipal course, premium price
Judging by their membership fees and comparing them to other local courses that are of a premium quality, you’d expect FHGC to be another premium Leicestershire course. Not soRecently cut rough left in clumps off the fairways, making it nigh on impossible to find an errant shot
The greens are ridiculously pony- there are municipal courses you can play on that have less weeds on them
I’ve never seen weeds/grass growing out of the middle of bunkers before in my life, but you can see them here!
Lack of sand in the bunkers is shocking too
Pace of play- being stuck behind a 5 ball who can’t hack it more than 30 yards a time
We all know FH have lost members by the 100s due to all the above and the ridiculous increase in member fees. This has paved a way for newer golders to join, and because Forest Hill are desperate to up the membership numbers, they’re accepting anyone of every standard
This review may sound quite snobby, but it really was appalling. The club have set the prices, so my expectations were set to match those prices. If you don’t agree with the fact golfers should be better than hitting the ball 30 yards every time, then you can still have an etiquette. However…
Don’t worry about tucking your T-shirt in, don’t worry about taking your electric trolley over the red tees. Don’t worry about playing slow and not letting players through. Don’t worry about repairing your pitch marks
It’s such a shame, the course is challenging, and more picturesque than the courses it wants to compete against. It just fails miserably in everything else.
After walking off on 13, we requested a refund which was rejected. We in turn rejected their offer of a free 9 hole voucher because we’ll never come back here again.
Time for the owners to concentrate on rescuing the golf club instead of prioritising the overpriced driving range.

Green keepers on strike?
The course is a great course layout wise but it's been left to ruin. The rough is nearly knee height and has the grass they've previously cut everywhere. The fairways are absolutely shocking and the bunkers are full of weeds. There?s no water in the bell cleaners and the greens are patchy. DO NOT spend money here.Reviewer Rating

Poor greens
The shop is well stocked and the young chap in there was very polite and helpful.Whilst we’ve had a lot of rain recently the course generally was mostly dry. The greens however were a joke. What ever possessed the green staff to think driving across them to feed them after all the recent rain leaving deepntyre tracks is bemusing!

The course is in great condition, with a challenging but fair layout. The greens are well-kept and the clubhouse and pro shop are excellent. The course drains really well and is almost always open. Overall, it's an excellent value for money.
