Forest Greens Golf Club

Forest Greens Golf Club sits in Triangle, Virginia, a small community in Prince William County roughly thirty miles south of Washington, D.C. The course was designed by Clyde Johnston, a North Carolina-based architect who has worked extensively throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast since the 1980s. Johnston's portfolio includes numerous daily-fee and semi-private layouts that emphasize playability across different skill levels while incorporating the natural terrain features of their sites. The Triangle area occupies gently rolling terrain characteristic of Virginia's Piedmont region, where wooded corridors and elevation changes provide natural definition to golf holes. Johnston's design approach typically balances strategic interest with accessibility, using fairway contours, greenside bunkering, and natural vegetation to create variety without excessive penal elements. Courses in this part of Virginia often feature mature hardwoods framing fairways and greens that reflect the area's transition between coastal plain and foothills. Forest Greens serves the northern Virginia golf market as a public-access facility, drawing players from the densely populated corridor between Fredericksburg and the Washington suburbs. The region's golf courses cater to a mix of local residents and military personnel from nearby Marine Corps Base Quantico. The layout provides a woodland golf experience within reasonable driving distance of the capital region's population centers.
