About
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.

18th hole Photo submitted by BrandonTuckerGA on 11/13/2016
Very challenging, not for the faint of heart!
Course is in excellent shape, and is very challenging. I am a 14hcp and the course kicked my butt. Tight fairways and tucked pin locations. Be ready to lose a few balls. Would definitely recommend.
Reliable Quality Course
Conditions have been consistently good the past year or more. Friendly staff, and challenging but fare course layout.
Excellent course
This course is great. Very well maintained, challenging, and fun. Plus they give you a free hotdog beer, water, AND small range balls. This place is a diamond in the rough
Challenge yet fun
I have played this course 25 times over the years and it is always a challenge no matter when I have played... Multiple risk reward holes and it's a beautiful layout. Greens had just been punched and had a few dead spots but over all course played well. If you but the right shots you can score well here if you miss hit it will eat you up... Meaning even a great Drive, or approach will leave you a rambling for Par because you have to play most of the holes as designed and out we'll to get a good score.
Greens were just punched, avoid playing here!
Greens were just punched yesterday so putting sucked, avoid playing here for a few weeks unless you like putting with sand on the greens and your ball bounces around.
What is super lame is they sent an email on Tues saying they punched the greens yesterday. This makes no sense, this email should of been sent a week out or at least the day before saying they punched the greens, then i wouldn't have booked a tee time. I also tried to talk to staff about this but they didn't care, poor customer experience.
Wonderful Course
The course was well-maintained and the beer was cheap. Draft beers were 2.50 a pop Memorial Day weekend. Let’s just say those beers led to a few errant shots, especially on the par 3s. There are a few challenging holes given the numerous water hazards. Overall, it was very enjoyable to play this course.
It's great
Third time to play here. It will continue to make our must play list when we visit Austin!! Beautiful first class public course will all the amenities to support it! Staff members are so happy and helpful. Everyone's happy to be at Forest Creek!

Course pars
Every single staff person I encountered was friendly and helpful. Marshal drove by multiple times - and voila, pace of play was good - love that! Course conditions were good, despite some rough patches on the edges of most holes. The greens were in great shape and rolled true. Overall a great experience.
Everything is good
Green , fairway ,tee shot area everything was perfect. Everything is well maintained. We enjoyed !!
