What the club says: Forest Hills is a naturally undulating parkland course set in the beautiful Forest Of Dean and is currently regarded as being one of the finest courses in the area, with such excellent drainage, tees and greens that it is playable all year round. Challenging enough for County Events and friendly enough for visitors and societies to enjoy a day's golf.

An excellent Course.
I have played this course a few times now and today it was in the best condition I think I have ever seen it. Some great holes where positioning is better than brute strength. A few rolling fairways so make sure you hit the right side or you can roll into trouble easily. Overall an excellent course and well worth a visit.Reviewer Rating

A course to suit all levels of golfer, first 6 holes provide a tough start, but if you are near handicap after, you have a good chance of a solid round. Well manicured fairways and excellent greens. A must play, a real hidden gem.

We have played this course for a long time and it has always been in good condition but today it was as if we had not had any rain in recent weeks. It was very neat and tidy, no leaves, fairways cut and first cut too, the only rough areas were where you had hit offline. The pro is extremely friendly and helpful. Course has been enhanced over the years and is fantastic to play. Good value.

Lovely Course, although a bit of a find, once found then its an excellent course. Bit up and down so if any walking problems then deffo a buggy required. Some lovely holes and would certainly recommend it to give it a try.Reviewer Rating

Definitely a go to course in the wet weather as it drains extremely well and also at any other time of the year. Great variety of holes with many challenges and variety. Bunkers in great shape with no water, fairways and greens excellent. Lots of work being carried out to improve tee boxes and clubhouse/pro shop. Staff really friendly and a cooked breakfast after our round were much appreciated.

Lovely course and friendly members
I played here with the Forest of Dean golf club in our away game with our neighbours.The course was in superb condition, the layout is very interesting. I needed to do some research on the google maps /Shotscope before playing as I had only played it once before many years ago. This is quite a tactical golf course, the driver shouldn't be used on every hole (if you're wild like me), there are a few dog legs which require precision and distance if you're using the big stick so I used hybrids and 4 irons to keep myself in play and let the driver rip on appropriate holes. There is a variety of ponds, trees, bunkers and long grass to catch you out.
The greens were very fast and challenging with mild to moderate undulations..
The food we had was very nice.

Haven't played this course since Dec 20 and there have been lots of changes to the club structure, which are really good. Course paths are also being improved, a work in progress. Price have increased as well but just about acceptable. Course is a really good challenge with lots of different types of holes. Fairways and greens excellent, even the rough was cut to a sensible length. Staff very friendly. A must play.

Always worth playing!
Hadn't played the course for 4 months and after a lot of rain this week, it was still in excellent condition as always. All holes are a challenge and varied in style. Greens a little slow but expected after the rain. No heavy rough, fairways excellent. The pro is very friendly and helpful and we had a great experience in the clubhouse, where the staff were great, even had some banter with the chef. Will always play this course, any time of the year.(Round played: Oct 2020 - Score: 90 Handicap: 17.1)

Average Course at Best
Arrived as 3 x 4 balls of good to decent golfers , found ourselves behind a Visiting society of 40 playing a Ryder cup style event off the white tees ! Had to wait 10 minutes on every tee , one of our groups walked off the course after 9 holes which took 2 hours 45 mins , the other groups completed the 18 holes in 5 & 1/4 hours !! Poor course , felt at several times in danger of being hit ,would never return to play as not 1 hole of the 18 was memorable, bland , uninteresting & tatty , is only worth £10 green fee rather than the £27 we paid , in you enjoy nice courses , don’t go here !(Round played: Sep 2020 - Score: 92 Handicap: 15.9)

Really nice course
Got a good deal on golfnow to play this course, not one of my normal haunts.Really surprised, fairly tight course with rows of trees lining the fairways. Greens were fast and firm and bunkers were in good condition.
Pace of play today was slow but everyone was chipper and polite. They could do with some signage to point newbies to the course from the green to the next tee, they could also do with updating their ball cleaners and bins. The scorecard has a map of the course but some courses have maps of the holes on the tee which would have made a nice touch, if not on every hole on the holes which have blind hazards. But I am being picky there. This was a good challenge of golf.
