THE COURSE:
Forest Heights Country Club was originally a 9-hole golf facility opened in 1947. In the early 1960's, the club membership acquired adjoining land and added a second nine. The original course designer was George Cobb. In 1990, Bob Cupp redesigned several holes and made changes to all green complexes. The course has mini verde Bermuda grass on greens which are in immaculate condition most of the year thanks to our course superintendent, Joe Glisson and his crew.
