FOREST HILL GOLF & CC The course is quite unique in Europe as they
have 9 greens but 2 „sets” of tees for each hole, therefore offering 18 unique
holes. The course provides an enjoyable and comfortable, but challenging
game for even the most avid golfer amongst us. The course was built on
only 30 hectars, but the limited space was well used. The two „sets” of tees
are for Pro’s, Amateur Men and Women and Seniors. On 2 of the holes you
will find that parallel fairways are running towards the green even more
margin for error. Among the club’s services members and guest can enjoy
e-cart, trolley, covered driving range tees, chipping, and putting greens, golf
academy. The clubhouse with its relaxed atmosphere provides quick snacks
and in the hotel restaurant guest can enjoy the culinary delights. Type: 18
