Slope 139
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.

Absolute Gem!

The entire staff at Forrest Creek was amazing! They truly make you feel like a member of the club despite being visitors. The course pace of play was great and the course was in perfect condition and challenging. The fairways were fluffy and greens were in fast and smooth. Whether a scratch golfer, or a mid to high handicap, there is great play for all. I would definitely recommend this course and will play again soon.

With every round you get a free sleeve of Srixon golf balls, small bucket of range balls, hot dog or sausage wrap, and a free soft drink or small beer. What else could you ask for?!

We regret the pace of play has been slow the last couple of times. This is an issue we battle on most every day. We try our best and sometimes we fail. Thanks for your comments and we look forward to providing you a faster round next time. To everyone reading this comment: Please be aware of your pace of play when you play a round of golf. This is a great game that has exploded in popularity but we all must do our part to play in 4 hours or less, for the enjoyment of all.

The best way tossed an afternoon!

Forest Creek is rapidly becoming one of my groups go to courses. The greens roll well, our aim is often suspect. The layout is a good good mix of challenging and moderate holes. It helps to have the electronic course layout to know where to place the ball for your approach. You definitely need to know what side of the fairway to be in to attack the green. The food and drink were tasty and affordably priced. Our foursome hung around and shared suds and stories on bench watching golfers hit balls on the illuminated night range. Great day. Great course!

Great conditions and value

Bought the package deal that included a sausage wrap, draft beer, a sleeve of golf balls and a token for three driving range. I'd definitely do it again.
