The Golf Club At Fossil Creek

As others noted their greens got destroyed from the same groundskeeper who destroyed Cowboys GC. Many greens are temp. Still a fun course to play. Only complaint is design of course seems almost designed to suck up as many balls as it can even on great shots with slopping into water or poison ivy brush. Maybe with more rounds here I’ll be able to better avoid the unnecessary penalty strokes. Also a lot of homes and apartments which is a downside. Otherwise really nice course.

Wish more courses in the area would follow suit. Thanks

the course was in bad shape even outside of the 3 holes with temp greens. several other greens need renovation. Will not play again this year.

Honestly the freeze hurt all the greens on this course, they will say it’s only three holes but that’s incorrect m. They have only moved three greens the rest just haven’t been touch yet but are in rough shape as well. Everything else’s minus’s the greens are in great shape so hope they can make them bounce back!

Played here on 4/16/26. At least half of the greens were unplayable, they have completely lost them. No advanced notice or reduction in price. Rest of course was solid-tee boxes, fairwsys, bunkers. But greens are lost. Sad

Overall a great course, but almost all the greens were lost. It was a fun course, but for $100+ nothing was said about the greens condition. Rest of course was in good shape, but disappointing about the greens.

I have played Fossil creek multiple times over the last years. This year, they have completely lost the greens. At the is point outside of a couple of holes they are mostly sand. We played on a Saturday afternoon and it was clear that the hole locations hadn’t been recut or moved in a week in part because they could only put them in spots where even a minimal amount of grass existed. They are in the same spot that Cowboys club was last year before closing to rebuild the course. It’s a shame as this is a fun course layout, but not worth the rate if the course is in such terrible shape

Always enjoyed this Arnold Palmer design, until yesterday. The course made no mention of the greens being sanded and no grass on many. Not all but most of the greens are hurting. Again my issue is there was no mention of greens under repair. I noticed the practice green had sand on it so I inquired upon check in and was told they are hoping to revive their greens in the next couple of weeks.

Enough of that.

My major concern is the shrinkage of the greens. I have been a patron for 15 years. In that time the size and dimensions of all the greens have got significantly smaller. So much so that my playing partner observed it and asked was he imagining it or was it so?

Are they cutting corners financially?

I do not know.

I believe if Arnold saw it now he would be rolling over in his grave! Sad.

Sooooo disappointed in this course.

After driving almost an hour to this goat track!

First they claimed they did not have me in the system for 3 people (only for 1). Had to battle with Alex at the front desk!

Then the course conditions (greens in particularly) sucked!

I brought my brother and good friend there for his birthday and wanted him to have a great experience, but it was extremely sub par!

For almost $100 per player and $286.00 later this course was awful!

I have been in this Metroplex for 30 years and have played this course at least 15 times. Rest assure I’m not coming back!

I really want my money back! That’s how bad it was on the greens.

Might have simply been a bad week, but the greens were horrendous. Nobody mentioned they had been punching or aerated. I’ve played here after aeration before and it was ok, this time it was horrible. The ball could not roll straight on the greens. It was later in the day but still only a Thursday, so I was shocked that every tee box have no more green to hit from. Also, cart girl was only seen once.

I’ve played here dozens of times and am a big fan of the course. This time was just very disappointing to see specifically the greens and tee boxes in such rough shape with absolutely no heads up. Genuinely only gripe, hopefully this was excused by a bad week and not the new norm for FC.

Greens are completely toast. Maybe 2/18 greens were even playable. Pretty much putting on punched packed down dirt and weeds painted green. Fossil creek is a $35-$40 course at best until they can get the greens grown back.

Three others in my group visiting from Australia paid “member pricing” while I paid $108. Called the clubhouse on the first hole after learning this, staff told me they paid $108 just like I did.

Somewhat fun layout, very forgiving, greens were in terrible shape.

Even if it was in better shape, it still wouldn’t be worth $100+ charge for a Saturday afternoon time.

The fairways were great but the greens were horrible. Mostly all greens are being repaired, not much grass on most of them. I didn’t see this mentioned on line or when we checked in at the pro shop. Pace of play was very slow and Marshall only came around once to get the groups ahead to speed up. Didn’t work, the groups ahead were always looking for their golfballs. So frustrating.
