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.

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.
Costly
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
Fossil Creek
Good, challenging course without being too difficult. Course is currently in great shape for a public course.
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!
Great Value
Awesome Course! Excellent value for the price. Would highly recommend this course. Be sure to bring your best game.
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.
Yes this course has a good feature
I would recommended on each tee boxes
Signed should tell the golfers what par its is
That would be nice!!!!
A Special Place
I am visiting from Florida and I try to golf a new course in the area each trip here. This was Golf Club Fossil Creek’s turn. The experience was amazing, even with slow play. The round took 5hrs and 5 min to complete, but the atmosphere created by course staff, maintenance crew, and timeless golf architecture made it quite pleasant. I played with 3 guys I didn’t know and we had a great time and shared lots of laughs. There was something special about this round of golf that reminded me of why I play in the first place: pure fun. I highly recommend this course, especially if you haven’t visited yet. It is one of my favorites in the area now and I will certainly be back.
Slow and waits every tee shot's
Barely done by dark
Waits 2 group to tee off every holes.
No were Marshall's today.
Great Shape
Course in good shape. Greens exceptionally fast. Enjoyable round.
