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.

Top Notch Golf Setting!
My son-in-law and I played Fossil Creek for the first time. The course setting and design are superb. The restaurant was really, really good. The pricing for both the golf and the restaurant were very reasonable. We both had a great experience. Kudos to all the staff!
Thanks, Jerry! We're thrilled to hear you and your son-in-law enjoyed your time at Fossil Creek. Our team works hard to provide a great experience, both on the course and in the restaurant. We look forward to welcoming you back for more adventures!
Good layout, Greens are trashed
Fall/Winter golf can always be challenging in Texas, but the greens were in awful shape. Bunkers were hard as a rock, fairways very firm, and greens were spotty and muddy.
Thanks for your feedback, dNZaNtX9Xp927EwX41bP. We’re sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet expectations. We’re actively working on improving our course conditions and appreciate your insights as we strive to enhance your golf experience this season.
Wet, wet, wett
Almost every green had too much water/mud surrounding it. Greens were not in their normal good shape. Had to wait on every hole.

Too many residents on course
People fishing, walking the course not paying attention. Way too
Much foot traffic
We sincerely regret that your experience was less than perfect. We care deeply about our Guests want to provide the most comfortable experience possible. We hope you give us another chance soon to share a more positive experience.
Thanks so much for rating us. If there are any details you’d like to share about what we are doing well, we’d love to learn more!
They water the course. A lot.
Great Palmer design jewel of a course. My only issue is they tend to over water. There are swarms of muddy spots and larger wet areas on the fairways and especially around and directly in front of the greens. Anything that lands short will not run up… it’s either in a loblolly of worse. Embedded. I’ve played the course 5 times and these conditions existed on each round.
Thanks for your feedback, u8266528! We're glad to hear you enjoy the Palmer design. We appreciate your input on the course conditions and will share your concerns with our maintenance team to ensure a better experience in the future. Looking forward to seeing you again!
The Incredible Shrinking Greens
Very disappointed in how the course was for the $100 price tag. Greens are so much smaller now, it was wet and muddy in so many places, and the bunkers were full of rocks. If you want the same pea-size greens that are in better shape for half the cost, go to Riverside. Don’t waste your time (almost 5 hour round) or money here!
Hi bamagrad05, we appreciate your feedback and are genuinely sorry to hear about your experience. We're committed to improving our course conditions and ensuring a better experience for our guests. Your insights are valuable to us, and we hope to earn a better rating from you in the future.
Fantastic
Really great conditions. Unfortunately my putting is not quite good enough for some of these blazingly fast greens.
Thanks for the fantastic review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the conditions. Those greens can be a challenge, but practice makes perfect! We hope to see you back for another round soon—maybe you'll conquer those greens next time!
Thank you for the great rating. Care to share any details?
Good challenging course
The course is in good condition. Love to play again.
Thanks for the feedback, SyedHussain! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the course and can’t wait to welcome you back for another round. Your support means a lot to us!
Outstanding Golf Course
Such a well maintained and beautiful course! Very friendly staff and absolutely the fastest cart girls I’ve seen.which was great on a hot humid day. We had a blast and definitely plan to be back!!
Thanks for the fantastic review, 7We4FVx1vv8MqqD5dumB! We're thrilled you enjoyed the course and our team. Your feedback motivates us to keep delivering great experiences. Looking forward to seeing you back for more fun on the greens!
Greens are fast and small!
This is my first time playing this course. I was pleasantly surprised. The greens were very fast and small, so accuracy is a must. The course was in excellent condition. It was much more challenging than I expected. Lots of water hazards plenty of trees, and many rolling fairways. Quite a few less than driver tees unless you can really drive and carry +300. A couple memorable Par threes overwater. I will definitely be back.
Thanks for sharing your experience, forepartees! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the challenge and found the course in great condition. It's awesome that the greens and memorable holes left a positive impression. We look forward to welcoming you back for another round soon!
