“The greens were really excellent at this time and some of the best I have seen this summer.” (STRI Report)
“As an adviser I currently call on over 100 golf clubs of various standards throughout Essex and Kent and cannot think of a club whose greens are in better condition at this time of the year.” (Collier Turf Care)
"..please thank all your staff for their friendly hospitality and on providing a superb meal. Also congratulations to Roland and his Greenstaff on the excellent presentation of the golf course, which could not have been easy given the difficult weather conditions we have all endured this year. All credit to your team and hope we will see you once again in the near future." (British and International Golf Greenkeepers Association)
"...The course was in fine condition and the food was superb. Please pass on our thanks to your various staff members who contributed to our enjoyment. We will certainly recommend Forrester Park to other golf societies and I'm sure it will not be too long before we return."
"...As the organiser it was myself who made the necessary arrangements and the numerous telephone conversations and, it has to be said, that whoever I spoke with was always most polite and helpful... Can't imagine that you get too many letters of complaint but then again it's too easy to say nothing when everybody is happy."
"...All the players commented on what a great time they had and how they were looking forward to another day at Forrester Park sometime in the near future... We found the course in excellent condition and considering the terrible spring weather earlier this year it was obvious that a lot of hard work had gone into bringing the grounds back to the high standards we have come to expect. It was nice to feel looked after in such a professional yet friendly manner. We all look forward to playing at Forrester Park again sometime soon."
"Just dropping you a line thanking yourself and all your staff in making our golf day a very enjoyable and successful day. Almost all spoken to remarked on the good condition of the course, and the excellent barbecue, cooked in near monsoon conditions. Looking forward to playing Forrester Park again in the near future."
