The Golf Club At Fossil Creek
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.

Course is in good condition
Really enjoy the layout of the course and cart girl passed around at least 4 times during the round.
Conditions are good but...
Round took 5:15 to play. Not one course marshall to be found and the round started 15 minutes+ late. This is the second time I have started late due to heavy bookings. The pace of play is awful and three or more par 4 or par 5 holes are restricted to cart path only which contributes to slow play.
Very enjoyable course for an outing
Played here as part of a group outing. Pace of play was slow, but that's to be expected in a shotgun event with 2 groups of four per hole. The course was in great shape, and the creek meandering through the course made for some challenging shots into the green. The natural stone cliffs were really interesting to see. The water on some of the par 3's made what would have been easy holes a lot tougher. I will definitely play here again on my next trip to Fort Worth.
sloooooow
windy course in good shape greens were the best of any so far this year.but 5.5 hrs takes a lot of the fun out of it even with a 40 on the back.
Rating Fossil Creek
Second time in two weeks, have a tee time this Wednesday. Good price for a great course !!!
Fossil creek
I was very impressed with the course. The only issue was rate of play. It was increadably slow.
What a wonderful experience
This was the first time I've played Fossil Creek. I had the best round of golf in over 20 years. The greens were in excellent shape and the views are incredible for a Texas public course. Mr Palmer created a masterpiece with this design. I will be playing here again in the future.
Course plays well
This course plays well for the average golfer. #6 is a challenge! A little pricey but I've paid much more for less quality!
Nice day
It was a beautiful day but it was supper busy and slow.
Course is in great condition!
This course is in great condition for this time of year! Very enjoyable! Staff very friendly. Would highly recommend!
I'd pay twice as much to play here again!
I was extremely impressed with the condition of the course...and it's still winter! The staff was extremely helpful and courteous. The on-cart GPS and digital scorecard was an outstanding feature that really helped improve my game. The Arnold Palmer designed course was both beautiful and tough, but still manageable for an intermediate golfer such as myself. I give this course two thumbs WAY up!!!
Great coarse.
Had a great day of golf, will go back. Challenging for me and my buddy, lost several balls. Had a great time.
Great, but...
Really love this course but the pace is way too slow. Only time you can really go at a decent pace is first thing in the morning. Mid-point grill was closed, which is dissapointing since the food is very good.
Good winter conditions
Weather in the 60s in Feb. Good dormant green, green fairways. Good challenging course with focus on shot placement.
Cold day
course in good condition for the weather.
Plays as difficult the tees you choose.
Great sand traps.
Tee Times
Tee times stacked too close speed of play slow with waiting on forward groups who are waiting on forward groups
High End Public Worth Playing.
One of my favorites in Tarrant County. Every hole has character and you will use most every club in the bag. Tif greens are good and fast and overseeded fairways starting to come in. Four sets of tees make it playable for everyone.
Slick greens
This is a very good course. Lots of challenges. The greens were fast and in great shape. The pro shop staff was friendly and attentive. I will try to play here again. I would play here more often if the price was a little lower.
Great Course!!
This is a great course. I went to a local golf store and they suggested that I play it. They did not steer me wrong! The greens are in amazing condition. The staff was amazing. It was such a good course and good value that I went back the next day.
