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.

Be very specific

I called ahead and asked when they greens had been sanded and aerated last on Monday before booking the tee time and they said they hand been in the last month then asked how the greens were looking and they said great. Told them I was about to book and they said great. Show up two days later and the greens are sanded. I get it’s a part of the business but really frustrating when they I try to avoid the situation and they know that and just let it happen anyway.

Beautiful course, challenging to an average player with variety of shots necessary to play well. Don’t just pull your driver

Played from Blues, realized couldn’t drive on most holes to score. Had to navigate course with good shot selection.

But unhappy with lack of good variety at the clubhouse. They serve only hotdogs and some kind of sausage wrap

I played Forest Creek for the first time in 10 years or so. GPS carts were the biggest change. Course was in great condition. Pace of play was not good. On the back 9, we waited on 5-6 holes roughly 5-15 minutes each for groups ahead of us.

18 holes took 5 1/2 hours.
