About Forest Park Golf Course
Forest Park Golf Course sits in Woodhaven, Queens, just off the Jackie Robinson Parkway. The layout was originally designed by Tom Bendelow in 1896 and redesigned by Stephen Kay in 1995.
That project lengthened the course considerably, bringing it to more than 6,000 yards, and included the construction of an entirely new clubhouse. Play is characterized by tree-lined fairways, elevated greens, and three holes involving water.
