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.

Greens were excellent

I am a good putter and the greens made it that much easier to sink putts.

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.

Great experience

It a go out of your way staff experience. Our round included range balls, sausage wrap, and a beer. The course is in the best shape I’ve seen in many years. The redesign of the course was well thought out. Fun and challenging.

Costs too much but course is pretty nice.

The price is waaaaay over what the track is worth but the course is in good condition. The carts are def. a selling point. Bluetooth connection for streaming music in your cart. As well as GPS distancing. Greens are just decent however the fairways are in great shape.

Welcome Back

Had not been there in 14 years and did not remember how challenging it was. The course is in very good shape and the staff were great. Because of the number of players, the pace was somewhat slow but manageable.
