Fossil Creek- Might have seen better days
A friend and I played here on 1/16/2023 (MLK Day) for the first time. We'd heard varied reviews of the place but decided to give it a chance.
Starting with the Clubhouse- Check in was fairly easy although due to an early tournament and what appears to be over booking, we had to wait until the last minute on a cart.
Carts are older and in desperate need or repair/replacement. (Torn seats, steering wheels not set in correct opposition to steering, very rough suspension)
Staff was generally polite (cart girl was great!).
Bathrooms could have used some additional cleaning.
Went to order drinks in grill and bar was out of bottled water (only one bottle left).
Course - Easy to follow layout. Appears to be very nice but, given time of year and maintenance, there were several issues.
Both fairways and greens were hard as concrete (greens were recently aerated and were not true rolling).
No sand on carts to fill in divots.
Was hoping there would be a cooler on the cart but there was not.
Uncertain I would recommend this course to anyone in the next 2-3 months but may try playing early Spring 2023 to see if conditions have improved.
Hi u703784132, we wish your experience could have been better, but appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We are slated to receive our new carts Mid 2023! We will share this with the rest of the team to make improvements.
A few very cool holes
Good value for DFW metroplex. Would recommend and will play again
We appreciate the positive feedback. It means a lot. See you soon!
Sloooooow play…….
I figured it would be busy. A beautiful sunny Saturday. We were a foursome, and we usually play a round in 3 1/2 hours. But it was horrible. Right from the start. There was a super slow 2 some that were 2 slots ahead of us. Then there was the kid that was by himself hitting 2-3 balls off every tee, in the fairway, in the bunkers, on the green. It was horrible. 15 minutes or more on a par 3!!! There were no Marshalls to be found. It made it a dreadful experience. And the bad thing is the 3 guys I had with me had never played there! They were really disappointed. After 4 hours of play we had only played 14 holes. It started getting too dark to see our shots any more, so we called it quits. I really like this course, but after today….. I’m never coming back……
We’re sorry to hear about your experience, davemhughes, but the feedback is appreciated. We will use this as a learning experience on how we can improve.
Long live Arnie
One of the Top 3 public course in DFW in my opinion
So glad you had a great experience, golfpungreen. Hope to see you again in the near future!
Really appreciate the rating. Is there anything you’d like to share that we can pass along to the team?
Thank you for the great rating, Golfplayer77. We’d love to know what made your experience great!
CRobb2, thanks for the rating. If there are any details you’d like to share about what we are doing well, we’d love to learn more!
New Year’s Day golf.
Fun course
Good condition.
Pace of play very good
Good value
So glad you had a great experience, jeffreyfglenn. See you soon!
Nice Track
Course has a nice lay and was in excellent condition for the time of year we played. Appeared to be we’ll maintained.
Beautiful course!
Today was my second time playing Fossil Creek, and it hasn't disappointed me yet. Although my golf game was off today, the course was spot on.
Need a marshall
No marshall allowed a slow-playing 4-some to bottleneck play. Love the course! Need to manage slow play.
Needs some love
Challenging layout. Only Men’s bathroom on course out of service. Cart paths in need of repair. 4 1/2 hour round.
Great course
Fossil Creek is one of my favorite courses in the DFW are. Great layout, very challenging and just a beautiful course. The remodeled clubhouse is AWSOME!
Thanks for the rating. If there are any details you’d like to share about what we are doing well, we’d love to learn more!
