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.

18th hole Photo submitted by BrandonTuckerGA on 11/13/2016
Excellent Course and value four money
Course in fantastic condition, friendly staff and great value for money. Will definitely be coming back.
Great municipal course
Day after I played (my first time on it) the course hosted a pga qualifier tournament so course was tiptop shape. Challenging but fair for me from white tees as a 14 handicap. Driving range, practice green and chipping green to practice on. Beautiful surroundings with several creeks running through the track. I’d play it again for sure. Terrific value.
Great course, lots of work being done
The course was decent but at this particular time, they are busy with construction on the course. No complaints because the improvements will greatly benefit the course, just keep this in mind if you plan to play there in the next couple of weeks. Lots of detours & adjustments have to be made. Marshals & folks on the course were very friendly. Saw the beverage cart on hole #1 but never again for the next 4 hours.
This course is under construction
My group paid for 18 holes but only completed 12 because the pace of play was so bad. The marshall drove by twice - the first time I tried to get his attention he blatantly ignored me and drove past our group. The second and last time we saw him he was in La La land driving 1mph past us staring into space - also didn’t get his attention this time either. We tee’d off at 3:30 giving us about 4 hours to complete the round. By 7, we were still waiting to play hole 12 until we decided to skip the back to get a 9 hole voucher due to pace of play. When we get to the clubhouse the Marshall just so happens to walk in while we do (why is he in the clubhouse while people are still playing)? He denies all of our allegations.
Now to how poor course conditions were. The entire course is under renovation. It should be shut down, but whoever is running this felt the need to keep business running. There are large trenches on every single hole. There were maintenance people on every other hole fixing the course. Not off to the side, literally on the fairways. Most of the cart paths were closed forcing you to drive over OB terrain.
For someones who plays every other day, I will not be coming back. I suggest you find a better course in the area such as Star Ranch.
Nice course but pace of play was very slow
The course is very nice. The Teebox is the fairways and the greens are in great condition and the course is nice and challenging. The only issue we had was the case of play. When I looked on the app every teatime from 3 PM to 7 PM was open and when we arrived for our 5 PM teatime we were told the course was full and we’re told to start on hole 10 which we were placed behind Three very slow groups. We ended up skipping a few holes to try and get in front of them and then we’re able to play a couple more holes but then again slowed by another few groups.
Great course, just a couple things would make amazing.
The course is in great shape with nice tee box, fairways and greens. the only think I didn’t enjoy was the pace of play - when booking I saw that the whole afternoon(after 5pm) was available. When arriving for my 4:50pm tee time they said the front 9 was busy so we pushed to whole 10, which put us behind 3 very slow groups. We ended up skipped 2 or 3 holes after playing 6 wholes at a very slow pace to find a couple holes with no one in front of us. Only finished 10 wholes which I expected to get at-least 14-16 in at a decent pace starting later in the day.
Great time great value
Staff was great. Overall the entire experience/course was above average and at an outstanding value.
Course is in really good shape
Haven’t played forest creek in a solid year and a half, it’s in perfect condition.
Good course but problems
Fun track
Starters are impolite and pushy.
Carts are miserable
Course is fun,
Inside staff and cart girl are very friendly and helpful
