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.

The course was in very good shape considering the time of year. Greens are fast but fair, staff was extremely helpful. Had a great round.

Fairway conditions are not that great unfortunately

The fairways are are looking bad (I've seen better days at FC) and seems they are not being worked on or treated. Greens and tee boxes are great as usual but please put some work in on the fairways and even near the green, some spots are very thin and bare so its difficult to chip. Sand traps could improve too, some holes the sand is very hard and not soft. Overall, still a great course and staff are always friendly but please work on the fairways.

Challenging Round

Kudos to the Course Marshall - he was friendly.at all times, visible throughout the round - and most importantly, enforced the pace of play. I was playing as part of a twosome paired with two golfers we did not know. At some point mid-round, we were behind by 8 minutes behind. The Marshall respectfully nudged us to pick up the pace .

There were some wet/muddy spots on the course that did not appear to be weather related.

Brutal Pace of Play

I showed up 30 minutes before my 10:50 am tee time yesterday and was told that there was a delayed start due to morning frost. I only teed off at 11:50 am (an hour after I was supposed to play) and there was such a build up of golfers that the pace of play was unbearable, waiting 15 minutes at each hole for the teebox to free up. If you are going to delay tee times by an hour and have the course this backed up, a phone call or text would have been great. Wouldn't have wasted my Sunday like this if I had known.
