Talked to two very nice older gentlemen on Monday morning. We asked about getting a tee time for the next day. They were super nice and even pointed us in direction of twi-light golf. They said pay one fee and play as many holes as you can before courses closes. GREAT!
We showed up the next day, played nine holes in pretty slow play. We are avid golfers, not great. Not horrible. Went to the restroom between 9 and 10 and started playing again and thought we'd get more holes in if we went back to 1. Younger worker came after us and said thats our last hole!
After we came in my husband talked to him and explained. He was very sorry he ran us off and gave us a half off of play for the next day. He thought we were trying to start again. We were not. Just wanted to play and not wait behind others.
Next day (today!) We finished our first 9 then came to clubhouse to use restroom. 5 o'clock and worker told my husband he'd prefer we not play anymore. What??? We paid to play, its only 5 o'clock. Whats going on here??? If we didn't go to clubhouse on either day we'd still be playing golf. Ugh.... so frustrated.

Forest Lake Golf Club in Central Florida is a true gem! The course boasts fantastic condition with rolling fairways, a grass driving range, and a practice area featuring two chipping greens. They also have a practice bunker and a practice green available. The course layout is pure golf—no homes in sight, just a scenic and meticulously maintained course that caters to golfers of all skill levels.
After a satisfying round, Rusty Niblick Pub & Grill is the ideal spot to unwind and savor delicious, reasonably priced food. The welcoming atmosphere and top-notch service make it a perfect choice for relaxation.
Whether you’re a local or a visitor, Forest Lake is an absolute must-play!

The gents at the pro shop were great, and were able to accommodate getting on the tee sheet with short notice.
The course offers a great grass tee driving range for warm up (extra charge), and an expansive chipping and practice green. The course itself, was in excellent condition and the back nine was a good challenge which included a newly re-designed hole 16 I believe.
I see pace of play being a concern for other reviews, but we finished 18 in a reasonable 4 hr and 15 minute. Few times we waited on the front nine, other than that no problem.

I’ve played this course three times now and genuinely love everything about it — the driving range, the layout, and the friendly staff. However, my last three visits have been very disappointing due to the pace of play. The course seems consistently overbooked, and each round ends up taking nearly six hours to complete. Every hole moves painfully slow, and some groups show no consideration for others — taking multiple drops and refusing to let faster players play through, even when no one is ahead of them.
I truly want to give this course a great rating because it has so much potential, but the pace of play issue has made it hard to enjoy. I really hope management addresses this soon, as it’s the only thing holding this place back from being one of the best in the area.

Cold start this morning but course was in good shape.
Green speed and grain took some getting used to, due to some soft areas in greens.
Fun place to play and it's gets busy by lunchtime.
Enjoy
