About

Holes 18
Type Public/Resort
Style Links
Par 72
Length 6865 yards
Slope 138
Rating 73.7

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.

The Pace of play for a Sunday Evening was good. The greens where dry and fast making it hard to read the greens and get puts into the holes! Overall great place to play and enjoy your freetime!

Fossil Creek worth the effort

Course is quite challenging and is very well maintained considering the amount of rounds played on it. Staff is nice and helpful. They used to be a bit lax on slow play but recently I've seen Marshalls out so that is improving. Would recommend for anyone in Fort Worth area. Also easy to get to off I-35

Best Public Course In Fort Worth

Went on a golf trip with some friends from college. We played Texas Star, Tierra Verde, Waterchase, Hawks Creek, and Fossil Creek. All thought Fossil Creek was the best course out of the bunch.

Good conditions, odd layout, very slow

The course conditions were good, greens really nice, but the layout was terrible. The whole course just seemed gimmicky, only 3 (maybe 4 if you’re short) driver holes, basically every tee shot calls for a 230-250 yard little cut. Then there was the pace, 5 1/2 hours is absolutely ridiculous.

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!
