Good Greens

Excellent day for golf.

The course was in good shape, they had done a lot of trimming and cutting out the creeping rough. It makes it more enjoyable since if you miss the fairway you are not looking for your ball for 5 minutes holding up the line.

The greens were near perfect and rolled well on most putts.

Great Condition

Have played this course many times but the course was in great condition! Fairways immaculate greens good and the round came with a free hot dog, range balls and a drink. However to have a round take 5 hours on a weekday day ( Wednesday ) is ridiculous for a twosome. This course has always been in good shape but the pace of play has always been on the long side. Staff very friendly and saw course marshals several times but guys the speed of play needs to pick up. I get a slow round on a weekend but 5 hours on a Wednesday is not acceptable . Would play again but speed of play needs to be addressed

Consistnet Quality

Love the layout of this course and the slight elevation changes that were able to be worked into the layout. Hard to do in that area of town. Thanks for the brush clearing, now if we could get some rain to fill the creeks....or maybe not. Greems in awesome shape.

Good could be Great

There seem to be small issues with a few greens. But Forest Creek is still one of my routine courses now that I’m playing more often. Had to do a group agreement on “ground under repair”. The course management is busy getting ready for some Championship that was being played there in following week. But by time true summer comes around. Am sure Forest Creek will be top rated public course in the area.

Great Course

This is my 2nd time playing the course. It is in great shape. It is well-maintained and the team does a good job of scheduling the tee-times and keeping the pace moving.

Best value in the Round Rock/Austin area

The course is in great shape. The best value in town in terms of the cost and the quality of the course. Also, their merchandise in the pro shop is top-notch.

Good Course and great value

Golf trip to Austin and we decided to play this course because we never played a course in Round Rock and other Austin courses we normally play were busy and more expensive (Avery Ranch). My group overall was very happy with course conditions and pace of play. Plus for $65 and it came with a hot dog and drink( a beer or soft drink) at the turn, we loved it. Definitely would play again, course very green and no issues with greens

Forest Creek is underrated

Fair price for a weekday afternoon round ($56). Good putting green and practice chipping green with green side bunker. Pace a play was average, and tolerable. Greens rolled consistently and medium speed. Fairways and greens were kept well. Cart/GPS with built in USB performed well. Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall a good experience.

Not ideal course conditions

Decent course, but not very well cared for.

Bunkers are shallow and unplayable. Many tee boxes are in very poor condition, making it difficult to find a spot with decent footing. Several greens have large patches of grass and/or dead spots.

Another perplexing aspect of this course is that the tee boxes keep changing positions, sometimes significantly. This makes the course rating and slope incorrect, and adversely affects the accuracy of the GHIN entries for the course.
