Slope 139
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.

Great Course

Other than a few muddy spots on a couple of fairways, this course is in great shape, with beautiful greens. Would highly recommend playing here.

New to Area

First time playing a course in this area. The course was beautiful. Loved the elevation changes and the variety of holes. There is definitely a learning curve, especially on tee shots, on where to aim. Can't wait to come back out.

Yeah.

Round went smoothly until getting caught behind an older group, who spent 10 min or more looking for their lost golf balls even waiting for the others to hit before actually looking for theirs going backwards on the course I’ve never seen anyone do that. Golf used to be a courteous game now I guess it’s for the selfish. No marshals. Back nine took 3 hours.

Also why can’t you make the tee boxes level? No one wants to hit tee shots off uneven boxes.

Greens are under repair.

This course is beautiful and very well maintained. They lost one star because some greens were under repair which I did not mind as I knew that these greens were still being fixed for even better quality. I will definitely play this course again.

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.
