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.

Fossile Creek

I have played this course numerous times, it has not yet come in all the way. Still a fun track to play though. The fairways were tight and the greens were fast. There were way to many golfers on the course when I played. I do recommend this course and can't wait for the fairways to grow a little bit and the green slowed down a bit.

Beautiful scenery with a lot of undulation

This course is nestled into some beautiful creek and river beds, which makes it a wonderful layout for golf with a lot of challenges.Shotmaking is at a premium here with small greens to shoot at.

Glad they are open still!

Course too fantastic measures to keep social distancing intact while still being a great experience. Greens were a little beat up but that's normal for this time of year.

Area's Best course.

Greens looked like a mine field. Putted like them as well. I and my playing partners were repairing 3-4 ball marks per green. Plus whomever is setting the pins now must’ve skipped training. Putting through the old hole locations was a challenge as well. Glad I had not paid the full regular greens fee. Guess the Iron Horse regulars are playing at Fossil Creek now.

A bit costly this time of year with dormant fairways and rough needing cleanup.

Great design, fast greens

I assume it was from the recent rain, but the greens were outrageously fast. I've never felt like a worse putter in my life. The approach shots were fantastic though

Great course & friendly staff

First time playing this course. As a beginning golfer, it was very challenging with a lot of water and narrow fairways. The fairway grass is very plush, and the greens roll true (and fast for me). The staff was friendly and welcoming. The hot deal on GN was definitely worth it... would love to play this course again!

Last round of the year

Snuck in a last round of 2019. Course was busy but pace of play was still good. Greens are super fast but receptive. Grass is dormant but course is in good shape as always. will play here more in 2020.

Very nice layout

This is an urban course in a master plan community with nice homes, giving enough challenges for all levels of golfers. Greens are nicely kept and rolled true. I really enjoyed it and can recommend it highly.

Hot Deal ruined by back to back 5somes holding up a 3some...none of which would allow us to play thru. Course marshalls did NOTHING to improve pace of play and I consider my fees wasted.
