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
Longest round ever
I'll start with what was good about the round. The course is in good shape, and the jalapeno sausage wrap was great.
No for the bad part. This round took 6 hours! They obviously had too many people on the course. At every tee box, the group in front of us was still teeing off, and the group behind us was there before we could finish teeing off.
We had a coupon for a beer and hot dog or sausage wrap, so we stopped at the grill after 9 (3 hours). The line was insanely long, but there were two groups waiting to tee off on 10. So, we decided to get in line. After 20 minutes waiting, they were out of my first and second choice for beer.
There were no marshals anywhere to be found until the 15th hole. The only thing he had to say was that it's always slow when there is a tournament. What are we supposed to take away from that? Do they think the tournament is more important than the other groups? Or worse, is it somehow my fault for booking a round on the same day as a tournament. I hope they made a ton of money from that tournament because they'll never get another dime from me.
Declining Course
Not what we expected. I would say give it some time and maybe it will come around. We were not too impressed with the course or the course conditions. Seems it has seen better days. The layout was quirky to us, lots of blind tee shots, kind of like they squeezed in a few holes between some houses. The greens were decent, about like a well played public course would be.
Thanks for your 5 star review. See you soon.
Thanks for your 5 star review. See you soon!
They should refund my money.. The golf experience was so bad they should pay me for wasting my time. I will never play this course again. Besides the fact that it's a marginal course, the customer service is less than language not allowed
We regret you feel this way but this is not the normal golf experience at Forest Creek. Please contact Jeff Dayton, GM, at 512-388-2874 to discuss your experience in greater detail so we can understand what went wrong. We certainly want to understand your viewpoint as to what made this such a bad experience. Thank you.
Forest
A ten-some of Asians sharing 2 sets of clubs and one cart. One cart driver, 9 runners...and I mean runners. Everyone on foot ran behind the cart to the shortest drive, watched the shot and then the cartman takes off again with 9 little ducklings following. This continued for as long as I felt comfortable staring, mouth agape
Thanks for sharing. We are not aware of this occurrence and and we do not even allow 5somes, let alone 10somes.
Thanks for your 4 stat review. We hope to provide the extra star on your next visit.
One of the best tracks in the hill country!
We've had a lot of rain but the course drained well, the greens & fairways were in excellent shape. You've got plenty of courses charging twice as much as FC and not even close to as good a shape (I wont mention any names). Can't wait to get back out there!
Thanks for your kind words. We try to provide a quality experience at a great value. Thanks again.
Excellent
Excellent. Extremely crowded but pace of play was good.
Amazing experience
My friend and I are new to the area… we saw some not so great reviews around this course and the staff. Our experience was the opposite. Absolutely amazing staff and the course is in terrific shape. Loved the experience. Can’t wait to go back and play in a week or 2. Far exceeded our expectations.
Thanks for your great review and for playing here despite a few negative comments .We aim to provide a high quality public golf experience and look forward to seeing you again soon!
