Forest Creek Golf Club
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.

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 !!
Great course!
I love playing Forrest Creek. Staff are friendly and helpful. Course is always in great shape and it’s a fun track to play.
Great course.
Overall the course was phenomenal. Greens were maintained very well. Trash bins at every hole made it easy to throw trash away. Fairways were very green and well maintained. Something every good golf course should do that I haven’t seen much of in the area was that the carts had a full display. GPS, electronic scorecards, and Bluetooth for music. Only thing I would say is we stopped at the turnaround to grab drinks and food. It put us a little behind on the time so the cart kept screaming at us but we didn’t have to wait on anyone all day nor did anyone have to wait on us. It’s so well priced and I would come here over a lot of the courses in the area. The drink carts were always around it seemed like so you never sat and wondered when the next one was coming through. This course definitely is in my top 3 within a 25 mile area.
Scruffy after a week of rain
The conditions were adequate considering a week of wet weather preceded our round. Some very interesting holes and some gimmicky one as well. Without knowing where the creeks ran made for several surprises on drives that were found in the penalty areas. Shaggy tee boxes weren’t a problem but we’re surprising to discover. Id play it again.
Beautiful course
This is a beautiful course with some minor annoyances. Fast greens, well maintained greens & fairways, good layout, a fair amount of bunkers, on-site driving range. Now here’s my complaints, which could easily be fixed.
Our golf cart, which was electric, worked well, & had a nice screen in the cart, is gps monitored. If you go out of the area it literally shuts down the cart. Sounds ok, nobody wants a rogue cart, but we had our cart shut down TWICE while driving down the paved cart path. 1 time put us completely out of commission for 2 minutes. Finally it allowed us to continue on.
The other annoyance is the lunch voucher. Nice of them to give that, but assuming it’s built into the price you pay, they offer 2 options. Hot dog or sausage wrap. With todays range of diets, it leaves many of us out to dry. No alternatives are offered, no apology, not even a bag of chips.
How about. Grilled cheese for vegetarians? A veggie sandwich, something?
Fun golf round
Greens were very good and fairways were as expected for this time of year. Pace of play was slow. A course marshall would have been helpful to keep groups in front of us moving along.
Great course and great value
The tee time comes with a free hotdog or wrap, drink, and small range bucket. The greens are in the best shape out of the three courses I have played since I’ve been in Austin and the course is beautiful with a great layout. Plenty of dog legs and the tee shots require strategy. Course conditions are pretty good for this time of year and I would play here again in a heartbeat.
