The Golf Club At Fossil Creek

Beautiful track. Love the layout. When I played it was 100+ degrees so I naturally had it to myself. But somehow through all the heat they’ve kept it in beautiful condition. They were re-doing the bunkers. Very solid for someone visiting Fort Worth looking for a fun, short but challenging, affordable course in Fort Worth

This was my first round at Fossil Creek and I loved the course. There were a lot of great shots and views, plenty of challenging angles that I unfortunately fell prey to. Absolutely will be back in the near future.

Its a tough course that can get away from you fast but I typically play at Iron Horse and man they go above and beyond! I am used to seeing a cart girl every 5holes usually and the cart girl gives out cold towels as well as the marshall drives around offering them out as well.

They are re-doing all the sand traps making them unplayable but rest of course in great shape.

This course condition is the worst for $125/round on weekends. Fairways, greens, and bunkers are in the worst shape. This is not the first I played this course!

This course used to be decent with plush fairways and smooth rolling fast greens. Right now and pretty much ever since it’s become a part of Arcis it’s gone downhill. Bunkers lacks sand and probably haven’t been turned over in months. Almost every one we saw today had netting showing in the bottom and we’re packed in. Some had deep ruts like water had rushed through them. Carts were terrible. The one we had did not want to turn to the left and tbh was dangerous to drive. Windshield was broken also. Our tee time was at 3:20pm and they didn’t even have any carts available which was huge surprise. At $79 regular rate I won’t be back. They need to get this place cleaned up or start charging what it’s worth which is about $40 if that. What a disappointment!

So I'll start with the 'Good' - Hot Deal price was exceptional, Greens were fast as lightning, halfway house was top notch. 'Bad' - Pace of play was horrendous as in 3+ hours for our back 9, bunkers were terrible. Overall, it was okay given the Hot Deal price but if I had paid a dollar more, then I wouldn't have been a happy camper. I had not played here in awhile and it appears as though they have moved this from a mid-high end resort like course to a low end public course. We saw signs of the old days but it's obvious that Arcis Golf has moved in a different direction. Would I play it again.....maybe!

Fossil is always in great shape and agreat challenge for your game!

I booked a tee time and shortly after I realized I couldn’t make it for my scheduled time. I called the course and the staff didn’t offer any options at all. They basically said sorry you’ve lost your money. I was disappointed because I have played there many times and recommend it to friends. However, that will stop now. It’s not worth being treated so poorly…and with no options at all.

I find there are few courses the public are allowed to play as nice as Fossil Creek. Conditions were impeccable all around proving the caretakers have the course in it’s best interest.

I will always have Fossil Creek in mind to be sure.
