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.

Great course to play
Great course to play but can use more water stations and ball washers.
Vacation Round
Nice course with some great holes. More target golf vs big ball golf. Enjoyed playing, would play again!

Dreadful Pace
Four hours and fifteen minutes to finish 15 holes. Saw the drink cart several times throughout the round however I did not see a Marshall. Course is in really good shape just can’t deal with a 5 hour round.

Very nice
I guess the only complaint I could find was the range ball not included, a course of this caliber normally includes range balls. Others than that it’s top notch

A little slow but great place
So the course is probably one of the 2-3 best relative to all other semi private/public courses within 20 miles of where I live and that fact combined with a great deal price in late afternoon means slow pace of play. Just the trade off you have to expect. Greens in really good shape for late winter/early spring. Fairways and tees just coming around but still best of any like courses around Ft. Worth. Really top notch.
Thanks for the fantastic feedback, Marcsantini! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your experience at FossilCreek. Our team works hard to create a welcoming atmosphere and maintain top-notch amenities. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Unique course!
Warm up on the front 9 because you will need it when you get to this Arnold Palmer back nice!
Greens, Fairways, and Sand just OK this time of year!
Layout very fun and challenging!
Would play again!

Good Round
Had a good round. Pace of play was a little slow due to it being the first nice day for a few weeks. Course conditions were good overall for this time of the year. Staff were great.

Good course and layout.
I’ve played country clubs most of my life. But this is a good public course in Fort Worth. Layout is great and fun, a little challenging. You honestly don’t need to hit driver much here if you’re a long hitter. Pace of play wasn’t great but, that’s what you should expect playing a public course honestly. Staff was super friendly from the Golfshop, marshals, and then cart girl staff.
All of that being said, I’m not sure I would play here on a regular basis just because of the value. I think the prices are a little steep, even for their membership benefits.
Thanks for the detailed feedback, QZuAAQuxM7iBhcrZWiIJ! We're glad you enjoyed the layout and found our staff friendly. We appreciate your thoughts on pace of play and pricing; we're always looking to improve. Your insights help us enhance the experience for everyone. Hope to see you again!
