The Golf Club At Fossil Creek
Rating Snapshot
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.

Slow but great
Course was in great condition. The greens were a bit sandy and fast. Played on a Friday, it was super slow. We tee’d off at 8 and didn’t finish until 12:30.
Great Day
Had a great time. Course and staff were great. Pace of play was a little slow, but not to bad
Nice layout
I’ve played this course several times and enjoy the layout.
It’s challenging but fair to an average golfer. I will admit however that this last time, I was not impressed with the course conditions. The tee boxes where not plush and it seemed that the grounds crew did not come by to pick up broken tees all over the place. The fairways were not in great condition and there were many bald spots on several greens. Quite frankly, I was disappointed. Some of the golf carts had cracked windshields, worn tires and some ripped or worn seats. On the plus side, the staff was friendly and accommodating!
My overall impression is that the course is not getting the maintenance it deserves and it’s a bit pricey for what you are getting. I hope that much needed care is paid to this course because with such, it has the potential to be a fine gem in the Fort Worth area!
Greens Being worked on
Still one of the best places to play in the DFW. Greens are look rough as of 20220430. Lumpy and hard, covered in sand. Putts rolled pretty true where the flags were located. Still Not bad for $70 on a Saturday morning.
A great course, with a major hiccup...
If you've played here, you know that the pace is slower than a drunk turtle. We did see a marshal once, but it did not seem to make a difference. Really need to tell players that either speed up or go play somewhere else.
Overall great course. Really like the bar mid course.
Only improvements:
Starter could use some etiquette towards members. Made it difficult to get started.
Course had had some great upgrades and still could benefit with additional cleanup
Nice course!!
Everything was up to par, but the greens. They need a little TLC. A few more weeks of rain and heat will get them there.
I will play here frequently!!
Slow but Fun
We had a blast and the course was in good condition. The pace of play was not efficient at all. We were a foursome constantly waiting on the threesome in front of us.
New carts and Bunkers need new sand
Newer carts will be a nice change ad the older ones are not in good shape. Also the bunkers need addtional sanda as some are not playable.
Golf round
Not the best day to a cold day but it was a fun course
