Forest Lake was designed by the Clifton Ezell golf course group and opened in 1994. It is located 30 minutes northwest of downtown Orlando near the Florida Turnpike. The course is flat with some slight mounding in the fairways which produce some uneven lies. Many of the holes are framed by waste bunkers, along with 60 bunkers, and water coming into play on 7 holes. The fairways are fairly open and forgiving, a couple of holes go through the woods, and out of bounds only come into play with major errant shots. Yardage from the tips is 7114, with a handicap of 74.7, and a slope of 128. This is pure golf, no housing developments surround the course, and is a good alternative to the higher priced resort courses of Orlando.

Good overall round today, played a threesome Nassau. Jeff framed the front side with birdies on 1 and 8, but it wasn't enough in the end to my steady game. Bobo hung in there with some uncharacteristically good shots and saves, but he to was down by 2 at the end. Course was in reasonably good condtion, fairways were a bit thin, and greens not quite up to par, but tolerable for $45.
