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.

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.
Great course for the money
Nice and green fairways and clean and fast putting greens. The pace is the best I've played and the GPS on the carts helps with course and play management.
Almost perfect
Course was in good shape for early March. Greens are fast and hard.
This course is normally a great course
I’ve played this course many times over the years but this winter the course is in very poor condition. I was extremely disappointed and will not go back until warmer summer weather. The greens were TERRIBLE!!
Good condition for January
Greens were great, fairways tight, but it’s January. Friendly staff. Always worth the trip!
Great course
First time playing this course. Only played the front nine, but was a challenging fun course. Staff was helpful and friendly. Would recommend
Pace was as Amazing as this Course
Wonderful experience on a holiday weekend Sunday tee time! Greens fees includes hot dog and drink and a bucket of balls. They take the pace of play very seriously and we soooooo appreciate that! Such a great layout with staff that are eager to make your outing as enjoyable as possible. Will not get bored with the holes on this course. Even with 25 mph wind gusts we were able to enjoy the course! Excited to return!!
