The Golf Club At Fossil Creek

Fossil Creek is a fun course, not long from the white tees, a lot of irons off the tee, really like the layout an risk/reward setup of the course. We were there on a $25/player golfnow coupon, will definitely play it again even at full price!

staff was very nice and pleasant upon checking in. the best part was before my cart gave out they already know - they came and change my golf cart even before it start giving me problem. golf course layout is beautiful. they have a semi island hole that you have to tee and hit from 80 feet high.

The greens had been punched and the fairways need some grass. Pace was slow...no marshals.

They had aerated the greens without notice the night before we played. There were large portions of the greens that still had lots of sand. The ball couldn't roll through these areas and it made for a very frustrating day. I understand that this needs to be done, but I would like to know so that I can play the course after the greens have time to recover.

I've played this course before and was pleasantly surprised the first time there, however this time out was not as enjoyable as the first. It started in the club house with the gentleman that checked us in, first he got our green fee wrong and seemed almost upset that we had a discount fee from the web. Next we were told that we could get our range balls from the starter only to arrive at the starter stand to find no starter. After finally getting some range balls and warming up we were told that we could start whenever we chose as it was slow that afternoon. The tee boxes and fairways were in really good shape for this time of year but the greens were in really horrible shape as they had recently aerated them (the website did not mention this fact). I had asked my partner several times if we were on the green or in a bunker there was so much sand. The pace of play was great as there was no one in front or in back of us for most of the round, though at the 14 tee we did catch a party of 3 that was taking their time, at one point one of them hit a tee shot walked back to his cart grabbed a different club and proceeded to hit a second ball while my partner and I waited dumb struck at this act. Over not a bad course for what we spent on greens fees.

Fossil Creek is one of the best golf courses in the DFW. You see the friendly cart girls often during your round. The fairways and greens were in great shape. The pace of play was good and the Marshal made sure all players kept up with their pace of play. The new Arnie Bar is a great place to hang out after your round of golf. Also consider purchasing the Eagle Card which call save you money on your rounds of golf.

Great course! It gets better every time we play it

Fossil Creek Golf Course is a well maintained course and is one of the better courses in the area. Price per player was a great deal, but it was obvious that they over booked their tee times in the afternoon to compensate the lower rate.
We teed off at 3:00pm and did not finish until 8:25pm! (5+ hours!) We teed off on the 1st box with 2 - foursomes on the box in front of us!
We had a 5-15 minute wait on every tee box and in between holes!
I Recommend this course for its quality and condition only!
It's SLOW PLAY will cause ALOT of frustration and sitting time!

This is my absolute favorite course to play anywhere. It's fun, and just challenging enough for the intermediate player. It's picturesque holes, and perfectly maintained greens are something you don't see much at DFW golf courses.

The only problems I've ever had is inexperienced starters not keeping the pace of play correct and letting a group of 5 play together even when busy. This is few and far between however.

The greens were in very good condition. The tee boxes were in decent condition but could be improved. Overall it was a good golf course to play.

This course has open shots tight shots blind shots and is very fun to play. I loved it.

Nice facilities, great pace of play (Tuesday afternoon), friendly staff.

teed off 40 minutes after tee time because they did not have carts available

I have played several courses in the D/FW area, including Cowboys and Texas Star. Without hesitation I can say that Fossil Creek is the best I have played. The greens were spectacular...pro quality for the most part. Beautiful, smooth, firm but not fast, I have never played better greens in Texas. Kudos to the greens keeper. The fairways were in fine shape, and the characteristics of the course are often unique and always interesting...elevated greens, peninsula greens, undulating fairways, a par 5 that begs for a 4 iron off the tee box. I can't wait to play this course again!

Player Tip: On the par 5 18th, hit 215 from the whites. Aim just to the left of the 2 fairway bunkers. Then, hit 160 to about 115 out and pitch in.

GREAT COURSE! VERY FORGIVING ON MOST HOLES BUT A GREAT CHALLANGE. I COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER COURSE TO PLAY ON. YOU ALMOST HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR DRIVER AT HOME ONLY A COUPLE OF HOLES A DRIVER IS NEEDED, EVEN ON PAR 5'S YOU ALMOST HAVE TO HIT HYBRID'S.

I have played at Fossil Creek many times and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to play a solid, challenging course near Ft. Worth, Texas. The layout is great, with rivers and streams and rock formations. Definitely have to plan your shots and work around obstacles.

This course is playing great, greens are running at a nice pace and the fairways are green and plush. Not many tight lies will be found around the greens. My only complaint is the course is very crowded which results in slow play. Otherwise it might be worth the wait.

The course is in fantastic condition, if you can, play it soon! Great time! :-)

Greens great fairways very good staff nice. Great value

its a great course, pace of play can get slow and the GPS on carts that shuts carts down in certain areas is extremely frustrating, its no wonder annual pass member use there own carts
