Designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay, the links-style Golf Club at Fossil Creek was nominated by Golf Digest as one of the best new public golf courses in Texas when it opened in 1987, and has lived up to that advance billing since then. The course is scenic, with massive trees, limestone bluffs, bubbling creeks, and numerous lakes that bring water into play on 15 of 18 holes. The course boasts pretty rolling fairways and 18 testing holes all intertwined throughout streams created by Fossil Creek. It's surrounded by rocky-ledged creeks and crystal lakes.

A Great Course to Play

This course will keep you on your game! It has everything. Bunkers, water, cliffs, creeks,.....did I mention water!?! Don't miss the fairways, play the course the way it was designed. You might have to keep the driver in your bag on some of the holes, even a par 5. Have fun!

Will be back!

Another good round at Fossil Creek. Fairways were in good condition. The greens were a little rough in a few spots but actually good considering we just came out of a freeze. Club house, restaurant, range, and starter all good! Pace of play perfect. Course cart service also excellent. A few of the water features could use a cleanup. It’s too bad trash blows over from the apartment complex and ends up in the ponds. But great value and we’ll definitely be back.

The course is in great shape. There are wet spots due to leaky irrigation pipes. Tea boxes are in great shape. Greens are extremely fast and a lot of the waterways need to have the grass cut and cleaned up.

I wish they add GPS to the carts. It is a nicely layout course but need a better mapping and yardage for players.

Last Minute Selection

Cours was great. I love this course layout. Pace of play was decent. The course was in acceptable condition. I do wish they would on their tee box maintenance and leveling but wasn’t too bad.

Fossil at it's best

Except for the dump trucks that were running up the cart path and making giant trenches around teeboxes and fairways, the course is in as good a shape as it's ever been The layout has easy, hard and memorable holes. They have always had inconsistent wet spots around greens to stop you from bouncing shots up, making them plug. That's my only annoyance really, when greens are hard, sometimes you need one big bounce and it plugs instead. But overall the course is on a great piece of land and we'll play it over and over again.

Quality Experience

I took my 12 year old son out for a 6:30 tee time and we were able to play 10 holes before running out of golfing light. He's new to golf and I only get to play once a year or so. I had accidentally messed up the date when I scheduled the tee time, but the staff at Fossil Creek was very accommodating and helped me get it corrected. Excellent customer service. Other golfers out on the course were polite and clearly enjoyed the Fossil Creek environment.

My son and I had a great time. Thanks!

Good Condition

Fossil Creek surprised me with how good condition the course is considering the amount of play it gets. Tee boxes could use a dressing and some more water but the fairways were in good shape, the bunkers are acceptable and the greens are surprisingly good. The greens do have a lot of unrepaired pitch marks. They do roll well and are pretty fast.

I fixed several, if we'd all do that, it wouldn't be an issue. All in all a good deal for the money.

Excellent condition

This is the 1st time playing here, I was impressed!

The staff was friendly, course was in excellent condition (except for the overgrown Dalisgrass along some creek edges) and the layout was challenging.

The only minus were the carts: no GPS course maps or ball/club wash.
