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.

Over the rivers and through the woods!

What a beautiful golf course. Rolling hills, rivers, lakes, tall trees. This course will challenge your abilities. Excellent condition. Surprisingly small greens, but great condition. Golf isn’t always about your best score...get out and be inspired by this course. Take some friends. The cart lady is fast and frequent. Great tee box options for all skill levels. Must play!

Need to keep the remote bathrooms clean & time for new cart

overall one of the best coureses around for price and condition of course. They need to upgrade the carts as they are old and in need of replacement. Also during the day they need to check the romte bathrooms to keep them clean.

Fossil Creek Review

The front 9 is way easier than the back 9. Beautiful course in great shape. Starter gave me a hard time about me actually wearing a mask outside, which I didn’t even notice I still had it on. Regardless, that guy should have no opinion against me wearing a mask. Whatever. Good golf! Go play!

Not worth the price

This course was way over priced for the conditions. Greens were punched but that was not the issue they had huge ruts and damage to most. Tee boxes were in terrible shape. Fairways had a lot of bare spots and weeds.

Marshall completely ruined our round!

At the start you are not allowed to get your own cart until you tee off which isn't convenient but in these times I've grown to expect it. I walked over to the Marshall to check in 20 minutes before my tee time and he said there's 3 groups before mine. I stood there and waited. No groups showed up. At 2:55 (5 minutes before my tee time) he looked at me and said "are you going to stand there or are you going to check in with me (his feet were kicked up on his carts steering wheel when this happened to paint the accurate picture). We move on until hole 13 when this same Marshall parks in front of our tee box mid swing and says "what makes you think you can park on my grass". We calmly told him there's no room for us and the cart girl so we were trying to be polite. He then yelled over us saying don't talk back when I'm telling you where to park! I have never in all my years experienced this level of audacity. I will NEVER play this course if this is the type of personnel they deem acceptable!!!! I would give zero stars since this completely ruined my round, wasted my money and most importantly wasted my time!!! Nick the Marshall for those wanted to prepare despite my experience.

Yardage markers

Average golfer (high 80s/low 90s)

With green fees were over $70, assumed it would be a quality golf experience. Not only did the carts not have GPS, the course had poor (if any) yardage markers. Thankfully the group I played with had a range finder and occasionally offered distances. Very disappointed in the price vs experience.

Fossil Still Challenging

Course is in excellent condition. Tee boxes were not hard, fairways in great condition for late August. Greens almost back to normal from a recent aeration. Part of the process to keep the greens in shape, I understand.

Quick check in process. Teed offed earlier than my time slot. Stoped a few times for a group ahead of us. But the waiting was reasonable and allowed us to stay hydrated on this 100+ degree day.

Always enjoyed playing out here and now that I am back playing again, this will be on the rotation.
