Forest City National Golf Club

About this course
Forest City National Golf Club opened in 1993 on the western edge of London, Ontario, designed by Thomas McBroom. The course occupies rolling terrain that transitions between open meadowland and mature hardwood forest, a landscape characteristic of southwestern Ontario's agricultural belt. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes and wooded corridors, creating a parkland layout that alternates between tree-lined holes and more exposed playing corridors. McBroom's design incorporates strategic bunkering and water features that come into play on several holes, requiring golfers to consider risk-reward decisions from the tee and on approach shots. The property's topography allows for varied hole configurations, with doglegs that follow the natural contours and green complexes positioned to take advantage of slopes and natural amphitheater settings. The course measures over 7,000 yards from the championship tees, providing length alongside the strategic elements. Forest City National serves as a daily-fee facility in the London area, making championship-caliber golf accessible to residents and visitors in a region where private club options have historically dominated. The course has hosted regional amateur competitions and qualifiers, contributing to competitive golf in southwestern Ontario. The layout reflects McBroom's approach to golf course architecture during the 1990s, emphasizing playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining challenge and strategic interest for accomplished players.
