Forest Hills Golf Course
About Forest Hills Golf Course
Forest Hills Golf Course is an 18-hole regulation course owned and maintained by the Lorain County Metro Parks. The layout mixes holes of varying difficulty, with several stretches following the Black River and the scenery that comes with it.
The property began as a country club before becoming part of the park system. Alongside the course, the facility includes a driving range, a pro shop, and a bar and grille housed in a clubhouse built in 2009.
The course accommodates tournaments and outings, golf leagues, and corporate events, and PGA golf instruction is available.
