Thanks Johnny for adding a few of the courses I've played on this trip up the Oregon coast. I've been focusing on the local "short" courses, and Forest Hills is the first one I stopped an played on my drive up Monday. I encountered frost delays elsewhere and they were in one here when I arrived around 10:00. Ultimately, the guy volunteering in the pro shop saw that the first 5 greens were thawed and let me go ahead. I did have to avoid putting on the 6th and 7th greens because they were still frozen, but I was OK with that as long as I got to keep playing. Charged me just $10 to walk the 9 holes.

Conditions were of course very wet and soggy throughout. Everything here was beautifully lush and green, so you can see how well they manage the turf. It is just going to be very wet and soft this time of year, so you deal with it. The greens were fairly nice and rolled well enough. Speeds would differ based on how wet/thawed each particular green was, so you had to pay attention.

This is a very pretty 9-hole regulation course. It is a great setting and I very much enjoyed my quick round here. It's the only course in Reedsport, so if you happen to be in town it is worth checking out.
