Rating 74.8

Designed by Dick Phelps, Forest Creek Golf Club has been named "Best Public Golf Course in Central Texas" by Golf Digest as well as "Golf Club of the Year" by Club Corporation of America. Phelps' design features plush, narrow fairways, and its namesake Forest Creek that comes into play on 11 holes. Many of the holes dogleg, and its most difficult holes are the long par 4s. These holes are especially evident on the back nine, with holes 10, 15, and 18 all playing well over 400 yards. The 15th is the most difficult, playing a bogey-welcoming, par 5-like 472 yards.

Dog Leg!!!

Course is in great condition!! Driving range is great. $100 green free but that comes with small bucket of range balls hot dog or sausage wrap and a craft beer or fountain drink. Great place to play. Visiting but will definitely play again! Staff was friendly and smiling. Starter was awesome guy! Even gives the ladies a golf ball bet they start. You don’t want to miss out on this course.

Good course - kicked my butt

Challenging course - but in good condition and the pace of play was outstanding for a holiday weekend. Great staff, on-course refreshment cart at a regular interval, great amenities re: range, putting green, chipping area. If I could get it to stop eating my golf balls now…

Dog legs and layup course.

Course was in good shape considering all the rain the night before. Layout was interesting with many blind doglegs. Some of the greens were bumpy but most were in good shape.

Sub-par maintenance

Haven't played FC in a couple of months. Decided to go back and play a round. Dissapointing. With the relatively mild temps and decent rain we've gotten, looking at the course you'd think we're in a drought. Lots of really bad spots on greens, a closed hole that honestly looked better than some of the open holes.

I know the maintenance must be sub-par due to the fact that they water with reclaimed water, and another course 10 minutes away is in beautiful shape and very well maintained.

We'll continue to play here sparingly when significant discounts are available.

Greens are in bad shape

The course is a fun track but the greens weren’t playable. Half of them weren’t green. But they did discount the round knowing the shape of the course which was nice.

Great First Round of the Year

I had a great time back on such a beautiful day got paired up with an awesome couple and a young courteous young man.

We all supported each other through out the play. I scored one birde on the 8th and that’s the one that will get me coming back.!

Disappointing Greens

Bad greens always take the fun out of playing a course no matter how well the rest of the course is maintained. Average golfers need good greens on which to putt and chip. Please fix this problem.

Poor course

Forest creek has to be one of the worst courses around right now. Fungus on the greens, dry fairways and charging $78 per round. The price doesn’t reflect the conditions.
