About this course

Forest Hills Golf Course sits in Glouster, a small community in southeastern Ohio's Appalachian foothills. The course was designed by Harry E. Flora, an Ohio-based architect who worked primarily in the mid-twentieth century and created layouts throughout the region. Flora's designs typically reflect practical routing adapted to available terrain, and his work appears at several modest municipal and semi-private facilities across the state. The course occupies rolling woodland terrain characteristic of this part of Ohio, where elevation changes and tree-lined corridors shape play. The routing likely moves through forested hillsides and valleys, with fairways carved from native hardwood stands. Courses in this region and era often feature relatively straightforward hole designs that emphasize accuracy off the tee and approach control on small to mid-sized greens. Forest Hills serves the local golfing community in Athens County, an area with limited course options given its rural character and topography. The facility operates as a public-access course, providing recreational golf in a region where the game is less densely available than in Ohio's urban corridors. The setting offers a quiet, wooded atmosphere typical of Appalachian Ohio golf, where the landscape rather than architectural flourish defines the experience.
