The grounds were immaculate, the staff did one heck of a job making the greenery look beautiful for this tournament. There were clear paths for people to walk around the course with ample seating and plenty of stops to grab beers and drinks while watching the tournament. There were several volunteers around the course assisting people to their seats and while the majority of them had absolutely no idea where to direct us, they were all nice and happy and you couldn't even be mad they had no idea where to send you. The parking here isn't great, not sure it even exists so we had to park away from the course and walk but it ended up being fine. Again, only came here for an event so I'm sure the set up and flow is entirely different when there isn't a big tournament going on but it was a very enjoyable weekend here and hats off to all the volunteers and staff who turned this course over from concert to tournament.

I'm hesitant to leave a review here because this place has long been viewed by our group of friends…read moreas a hidden gem, and we'd like to keep it hidden. But if any place deserves recognition for doing everything right, it's the incredible people who make French Woods a home away from home. It started as a place where a dozen friends, living around the metropolitan area, could spend a weekend golfing, drinking, and telling stories around a campfire. It quickly morphed into something much more. To start, the golf course offers what city courses never could; a round in under 5 hours, wide open fairways, and no sounds other than the sounds of nature and the occasional expletive from an errant shot. The fact that cabins, which are more like 2 story homes, are located right on the course, provides an unparalleled convenience and comfort. All of this can be found through a simple google search. What google couldn't tell you, is the unmatched hospitality by the owner, Russell, and everyone who makes the clubhouse feel like a family waiting to greet you at the turn. Linda and Angie are always there to give you a good ribbing based on how terrible you looked off the first tee. But they're also there to walk you through the days specials, which never cease to feel like the best home cooked meal you've had in ages. Google also couldn't tell you quite how it feels to tee the ball up on the elevated 16th hole. To look around at the beautiful landscape and think "you know, it just doesn't get any better than this." Nor what it feels like to tee a second one up when you inevitably slice that first one into the woods trying to drive the green. It couldn't tell you that feeling you get taking a hot shower after playing 36 holes, cracking a cold beer and stepping outside to the campfire being assembled with the delivered quarts of wood courtesy of the O'Malley boys. It couldn't tell you that after sharing stories around the fire and passing around a bottle of whiskey, that if you laid down in the cool grass, you could see the clearest sky filled with stars. It couldn't tell you that drinking beer all day and killing a bottle of Jameson at the campfire would make it difficult to make your 8:30 tee time you promised Linda you'd make. Nor could it tell you that luckily the screwdrivers and bloody Marys in the clubhouse are made with magical elixirs that help pull a man back together just in time to slice your opening drive into the reeds on the first hole. Better make sure to grab a breakfast sandwich too, you'll need it around the third hole. It certainly could not tell you about the agony these vicious greens sometimes impart. It certainly would leave out what it's like to hit your tee shot over the water of the par 3 9th as the rest of your group watches on with cheers and jeers. It wouldn't be able to explain being up by 1 heading into the 18th hole only to see your tee shot land directly in the pond on the right side of the fairway. All of these need to be discovered for yourself. For our group, which has ballooned to upwards of 24 people at times, it's that treatment like we're family that keeps us coming back. We'll continue to try and make new memories and build upon our current traditions such as our Ryder cup and classic cup tournaments, the barefoot two club walking holes as the sun goes down, the tradition unlike any other of shotgunning a beer on the 7th (and 16th hole), the s'mores mix around the fire, the big kevs bbq on Friday nights, and the runs around beautiful French woods in honor of our beloved Jeff Garroway. We've come to love this place, and everyone who makes it what it is. Forever grateful, The Bender Boys

I can't speak to how challenging it really is, because my long game is the windmill. The course is fairly well maintained. Near fairways and greens.

We didn't even know we were there until we were leaving... the sign faces the park and not the road! The sign facing the road says something about a community center. There is a decrepit looking mini-golf out front, there is a decrepit gokart track out back... The one shining spot in this dreary wasteland is the driving range. It has a fantastic range. There are several astroturf pads on a berm at one end of the range. Each pad has a rubber tee that can be moved about for your preference. Off to the side of this berm is another that is just grass for that extra fairway practice. I didn't see if they had a practice green anywhere but I didn't really look. The range itself is very straight and well marked. Distance markers are very visible and color-coded flags also help. the range is kept well mowed so you can see where you land. The road runs along the side of the driving range so the odd slice is kinda scary, but it doesn't seem like you can hit the road unless you really try (I did... it was in the name of science!). Its $7 bucks for a big basket and $4 for a small.
