- There are two great holes on this course in #6 and #9. #6 being a great speed control shot that's slightly downhill the entire way until it drops off just behind the basket toward an OB road. The trees in #9's fairway seem like they're a bit overgrown, but the additional challenge is welcome on this shorter course, and the creek behind the basket is great.

- While the rest of the holes are mostly 225-275 feet, there's enough variety that it doesn't feel stale. There are a lot of birdies available, but you do have throw different kinds of shots to get there.

- Even though this is a 9-holer, you have two tee pads for each hole and you have PJ Irvin just across a road to play another 9 holes. It would be great to have some wooded shots to make Forrest 18, but they've done a nice job giving you options to play a full 18.

- Tee signs are large and descriptive and tee pads are good compared to most 9 holers.

- There's a playground nearby, but it doesn't seem like this park gets a lot of foot traffic. Didn't have to worry about other park-goers, at least when I played.

- I think part of the problem is it's next to PJ Irvin, and Forrest is the ugly sister of the two. Less grass, more overgrown trees - it seems like it's not maintained as well. And I believe the baskets are hand-me downs from a course that used to be at Miller Park (which is so old, it doesn't even show up on DGCR). I'm guessing 25 years old?

- I threw one driver on this course, hole #9. Some baskets were in the silver position, but I don't know if it changes things that much moving to gold.

- Going from hole to hole isn't the most intuitive, but with a UDisc map now, I feel like navigation is a thing of the past.

Don't expect a forest at Forrest Park. This is a park-style course through and through.

There's nothing bad about this course, but nothing is exceptional either. I wouldn't travel just to play here, but if I was in town and had an hour to kill, I'd say go for it. It's vanilla ice cream.

This is the second dual tee pad dual basket concept in the neighborhood. PJ Irvin, literally right around the next corner about a half mile away, has the same concept, same signage.
The various 4 combinations have different lengths and very different throwing lines.
The baskets were colored yellow (GOLD) and gray (SILVER), with the concrete tee pads designated A and B. Signage was excellent!!
Course was located in a city park with its fair share of mature trees and a quaint little creek running through it.
Oh yeah, decent amount of elevation!!
Couple of memorable holes:
#1 Moderate throw along side a creek to the left. No danger of the creek unless you really hook the throw to the left.
#3 Through a wooded area to baskets about 15 feet in front of the creek. (Creek's not so deep that you would lose a disc)
#4 The path to #4 is stepping stones across the creek and you follow the bright orange markers along the path to tee 4
#5 Low ceiling of branches and
#9 Silver basket on edge of hill with creek behind it... Tee shot from A was a blind dog leg right shot. Definitely risk- reward.

The flow of the course was a bit off..... I think they took tee pads from an original 18 basket course and configured this course from it. Lot of walking in between the holes, sometimes past one hole to the other (ie past 6 to get to 5...)

Wish I had had more time to play other combos.... Was returning to St Louis from a 3 week assignment in Chicago.... was trying to get a couple courses in on the way home.
Had a fun time on this one.... only the odd layout/ flow keeps this from getting my best 9 hole rating of 3.5. Definitely worth the stop, would be a go to course if I lived closer.... Add PJ Irvin to the mix and you have 8 combinations within a half mile!!!

nice variety of shots for a small 9 hole course....concrete pads with 2 options per hole...lots of trees which add not only difficulty, but nice shade as well...you can play this course when it is smoking hot out in the summer and be shaded most of the time...

placements of the holes can be a bit confusing for first timers...most of the holes are short and easy to make par...also you have to be careful around the playground area for holes 4-6 as there might be kids and other folks walking around...as of today...there is also road construction going on so hole number 2 is gone,,, but i used the practice basket as an alternate hole by standing from the longest pad on the first hole...

overall, i like this course...you can play 9 or go around again if you want to make the 18...the park is pretty well maintained...and i love the shaded aspect in the summer...with some updating of signage this course would be even better...
