Forest Park Golf Course

About Forest Park Golf Course

You'll find this municipal gem nestled within one of America's great urban parks, where the course winds through mature trees and rolling terrain that feels surprisingly secluded despite being minutes from downtown St. Louis. The layout takes full advantage of the natural topography, with elevation changes and strategic tree placement creating interesting angles and shot values that reward course management over pure distance. What sets Forest Park apart from typical muni fare is its authentic parkland character, no housing developments or strip malls in sight, just pure golf in a classic setting that harks back to an earlier era of public course design. The 4.3 Google rating from over 500 reviews tells the story of a course that consistently delivers solid conditioning and good value for St. Louis golfers. Walking is encouraged here, which adds to the traditional feel and lets you better appreciate the natural flow of the routing through the park's landscape. While it may not have the pedigree of a famous architect's signature, Forest Park succeeds by doing the fundamentals well, offering honest golf holes in a beautiful setting without the premium pricing of private clubs.
