The Golf Club At Fossil Creek
About
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.

Course in Great Shape!
Course in excellent condition. Greens rolled true. Fairways and tee boxes were plush.
Time to get new golf carts. All of them look worn out. Steering was bad and reverse gear did not work well.
A huge fan of Arnie’s
The course is beautiful and definitely a hidden gem. Small greens but generous fairways and some amazing views. Unfortunately the pro shop was bare with not many options for souvenirs of the occasion. Every cart had a torn seat and in need of repair. Beverage cart was the highlight of service along with the beach house at the 14th hole. Should have skipped the Clubhouse for an after round beer as the bartender was nowhere to be found! Rest in peace Arnie , your spirit lives on!!!
Absolutely beautiful!
10 outta 10! That’s it. Enough said
Never seen fairways in that condition. Looked like the Old Trafford in Manchester United! 👍👍🔥🔥
Great Track!
Always in great shape. The bunkers are being renovated at the time, and I played the worst round I have played all year. But that’s not goin to stop me from giving it a well deserved 5 star rating.
We really enjoyed Fossil Creek!
Played on Labor Dat at 11AM. Had a good round and thought the course was in really good shape. It looked like they were in the middle of redoing most of the bunkers, so we couldn't play some of our shots out of there.(I was fine with that :) ) We will be back for sure!
5+ hour round/great conditions
I play this course 1-2 times a month and the pace was gotten dramatically worse. Today was a 5+ hour round and not a Marshall in sight. It’s sad the course is in such great shape yet the pace is so horrid.
Not worth the $$$
First off both carts in our group were old and beat up!
Second all the sand bunkers were being redone with epoxy/rock and were unusable.
For the price it wasn’t worth it.
There should of been a discount for those for sure.
Not impressed at all!!
Great fairway grass
Course has bunker renovation going. Greens aerated with bladesseveral weeks ago and not fully healed. Grass sparse on some. Still no rain on that part of Fort Worth. 7/10 weekday round in 3.5 hours
New bunkers
Reconstructing all bunkers. Will be back when completed.
Excellent Course
I came here for my Birthday round of golf and had an absolute blast. 10/10 day
Greens are in great shape.
Play this course often. Greens are in excellent shape and have always been the best part of the course. Bunker have always been substandard to down right unplayable, fortunately they are being re done.
Pace of play is frequently an issue here, a solid marshall would help quite a bit…particularly in the heat.
Fun layout with some interesting holes. Would recommend for greens alone.
Nice course
Course was in really good shape. Greens are really nice on the back. Staff was friendly and attentive. Cart girl was there past 7:00 pm, also had water to drink in several coolers. Will be back , great job guys/gals. Thanks
Horrible pace of play
Course was in good shape. Pace of play was horrible, no marshals on course. Didn't even have enough carts , had to wait until 10 minutes before tee time to get a cart.
Great course!
Great course and great service! Would absolutely recommend to a friend! Can’t wait to play here again!
The course conditions
The overall condition was great, the course is redoing the sand traps so they were unplayable which is understandable, overall great experience again....
