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.

Good value and fun layout

Always a fun track and it's nice to see the course conditions shaping up. Greens are rolling well, fairways are in good shape, and most of the bunkers are well maintained. Very happy with the bounce back after winter and early spring. I'll be back again soon!

Carts Are Embarrassingly Bad

Played Fossil Creek today and while the course was as nice as I remember it, the carts were in the worst shape I have ever seen on ANY course I have EVER played. They were in ridiculously bad shape. First, no coolers on any cart that we could see. Second, the windshield has been broken off the cart. In addition, the seats were torn with stuffing exposed and the drivers sand bottle holder had been broken off the cart. Finally, while driving over one the bridges, the plastic announcement holder broke, crashed down into the cart and cut my hand. Seriously, the WORST carts I have ever seen. Makes you wonder if they don’t care about keeping the cards maintained, how soon will it be before the course goes down.

Great local Fort Worth course

Fossil is on my rotation each month, the only thing that isn’t my favorite about the course is it’s an “out and back” course, meaning the clubhouse doesn’t sit between 9 and 10, so can’t play nine and be back at your car, or take a break between the front and back nine. But that’s not a huge showstopper for me, just catches some of my friends by surprise that don’t play the course often

Poor design. Great condition.

This course has 5 or 6 holes where you can’t hit driver on par 4/5. No gettable par 5’s because of the wacky design. BUT it’s in great condition with well kept greens.

Always in good shape

The course is always in good shape. I don’t always come here, it’s a bit out my way. If you’re looking to get a quick round in make sure to grab an early tee time.

Good track

Course in overall good condition. Pace was about 5 hours which is pretty slow although it was a Saturday afternoon. Pro shop staff and ranger need some work and it would be nice if golfers would repair their ball marks on the greens!!

Fabulous!

Fossil Creek, Ft Worth Tx, is incredible! One of the best courses I’ve ever played.

Tee boxes, fairways, and the greens were all in great shape. The layout is stunning, hills, creeks, trees, all just beautiful.

Can’t wait to play it again!
