Nestled in the heart of rural Leicestershire, Forest Hill has all the makings of what could be a lovely little course.

The emphasis of the club is on progressively modern, and the welcome from the staff and members certainly reflects that.

With a nine hole short course, a practice putting green, chipping area, a driving range and a well appointed clubhouse serving a good range of food and drinks at an appealing price, everything is certainly in place off course.

On the course, the track certainly has a lot of potential. Recently extended to par 72 and 6228 yards, there are a good mix of holes that pose an interesting challenge for mid to high handicappers.

With good views over the local area, it’s a course that has a charming feel, and the tough par 5 uphill 11th has a sloping green that wouldn’t feel out of place at Augusta. Stopping the ball is a real challenge here!

Meanwhile, there are plenty of well placed bunkers elsewhere, whilst a number of water hazards add to the aesthetic pleasures of the course as well as keeping the golfer on their toes.

On the downside, drainage on the course is not great – meaning it can become a little boggy in parts. The greens could also do with a little more ‘love’ and attention, but I believe this is something the course manager is working on, as are the tee boxes which were already a little bare in parts.

Overall, a nice little course with bags of potential and one that’s well worth a visit if in the area.

Course was intresting to play however the course was not in very good conditions with the greens being very uneven and two paced, in agreement with the 1st reviewer, there are some good holes although on others its more like a battleground avoiding golf balls from the course and range. The Clubhouse and other facilities were good

I thought the course was in excellent condition apart from the greens, all different paces and not very nice to putt on.

Beware when on the 11th hole of golf balls from the driving range bounding over the nets and onto the fairway.

7th hole is different, only an iron to lay-up and then at most a wedge to the green which is at a right angle to the fairway.

All in all an enjoyable day out with an adequate golf course and quite friendly staff.

Sturn test for high-handicappers with many blind tee shots but a stroll in the park for anyone below an 18 handicap because of the shortness of the course, at most a good drive and mid-iron to most par 4's and a few easily reachable par 5's.
