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.

Beautiful layout for all players

This course requires you to hit many different types of tee shots. Course was in great shape. Pace of play was good on the front nine then got really backed up as soon as we reached the back, most of the time we got to the tee box as one group teed off and then had to wait for the group in front of us. Besides that this was a perfect place to play

Good course

Great course, beautiful fairways and a good amount of difficulty. The greens were recently sanded when I played so they were rock hard and really fast. Only downside was the fact that there was no Marshall and there were some really slow groups in the course that probably cost us at least three holes before the sun went down. A lot of older gentleman fishing for balls all over the course. I was also surprised by how many people were just wandering around the cart paths from the surrounding neighborhoods. Just take an extra look before you hit the ball in this course.

Great course good afternoon rates

Great condition today should not have been cart parth only. It would have been nice had they told us before we took off to the middle of #1 and out cart died and we had to back all the way out. Neither the guy in club house told us or the starter.

Very fun day.

Varied and interesting. Nice forced carries over rock outcroppings and streams. For a Texas course, there are even some subtle elevation changes as well. The course was in excellent condition considering the spring conditions. The greens, tee boxes and greens were in very good shape. Will be back for sure. Pace of play was ok, maybe a little slow. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The beverage cart was around more than enough times. All in all, a very enjoyable round.

the course was in good shape despite winter conditions

The staff was great. It had been awhile since I had played FC and was glad I came back. The fairways were dormant and there were a couple of wet areas but the greens and tee boxes were in very good shape. Not crowded so pace of play was very good.

Fossil Creek - Great Course

Booked a tee time for 8:45 but got pushed back to 9:30 due to a frost delay...when the temperature never dropped below 40* overnight...?? Interesting to say the least...that aside, was able to tee off 45 minutes later than expected and was paired up with 2 other players. Pace was excellent all day since only a twosome teed off before my group. Course was in great shape, greens rolled well but had some chewed up spots -- perhaps from the twosome in front of us, but could also have been from the prior day's play... Beverage cart was seen 3-4 times, a huge plus considering it was a non-holiday Monday and the snack bar between 5 and 6 was open too, so kudos for having this up and running in the morning! Course is quickly becoming one of my favs due to the value and consistent conditions.
