Something for Everyone

Whether you’re an experienced golfer or just starting out, Forest Hills has something to offer. Considered an intermediate course overall, there are lots of difficult holes—number 16 is one of the most difficult in Lorain County—and plenty of scenic holes as well. The Black River runs through the course and comes into play in six holes, and there are plenty of other ponds, bunkers and hills to keep things interesting. Also available is a practice facility featuring a large practice tee so a player can run through every club in the bag, including the driver. The range also has three target greens to sharpen the short through long irons. The range can be used any time the course is open and can also be used for good old-fashioned practice.

Continuous Improvement

Over the years, Lorain County Metro Parks has made improvements that we hope are more helpful to the golfers of Lorain County. The Superintendent has a trained staff that maintains the course year round creating one of the best courses in Lorain County. The staff is always looking for ways to improve the course including adding new opportunities for golfers of all ages and ability to enjoy Forest Hills.

From Private to Public

Forest Hills began as a semi-privately owned, 9-hole course in 1960 and was later expanded to 18 holes in 1968. When Lorain County Metro Parks bought the site in 1975 its purpose was to offer the public a quality golf course at affordable rates.
