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.

Walking hot

Didn’t even play, was told I had to share a cart or I could walk or leave. So I went somewhere else that didn’t have an incompetent policy.

If you like cuddling with strangers this is your place

Scheduled a tee time for myself to go play this afternoon, was not notified that I would have to be sharing a cart with a total

Stranger, maybe I’m being unreasonable but sitting hip to hip with a total stranger for 4-1/2 hours is not my idea of a relaxing golf outing. I’ve enjoyed this course when I had people to play along with but I did not know singles were discouraged this way. I have always avoided going by myself this was my first and last attempt at it. Thanks for ruining a planed good Saturday afternoon Forrest Creek….. I may be back but it won’t be for a while. The customer was not put first in this situation which is the way of the past these days.

First Time Playing

Great Value, Great Conditions

First time playing here and the course was in great shape for being so scorching hot lately. Everything was lush and green. Looked like the greens were aerated recently but they still rolled well. If you play before 2pm, you get a free bucket of balls. Drinks and a hotdog at the turn was a great price, and so is the round itself. You could easily pay double at other local courses but the value here is practically unbeatable. Front side is tighter and you need to hit the fairway to score. Tons of doglegs which you can shorten if you can cut the corners. Back nine is more open but you can easily find the trees and end up with bogey or worse. Staff was friendly and welcoming. I had a great time and will be back.

Great afternoon on the course

Played with a couple of very nice young men—one who was familiar with the course. He was quite helpful. Very friendly, welcoming and professional staff. Starter and marshals also helpful and friendly. Par 5’s ate my lunch, but otherwise a pretty good round for my first time there. Live an hour away, but will definitely go back. Tee boxes and greens in very good shape. Some challenging doglegs that made it interesting.

Great Course, Great Staff, GREAT PRICE

I play this course quite often. I have to say that out of the 6 course I play often. Forest Creek is by far the best course of them all. I live on Star Ranch, and to me. It is not worth the price, nor a fun course to play. Forest Creek is priced very well, and you get little perks included with the 76$.
