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.

Nice course & great people...
We enjoyed just being out playing with the current COVID situation. From start to Finish I had a great time with the guys we were paired with to the friendliness and jocund nature of the staff. Will be back when in town! :)
Plush in August
Forest Creek took a dive a decade or so ago. The course reno paid off. This is the best course under $60 I have ever played.
Much improved !
Course has been much improved fairways and greens in nice condition
Tough track ! Bring your A game !
Thanks for your comments. Forest Creek does test every cub in your bag. See you soon1
Great Value and Great Fun
First time playing Forest Creek but it won’t be my last! The course is fairly tight with lots of doglegs and the greens are undulating but not unfair. I feel that it can be a bit challenging for the beginner as many of the shots require you to play for position. It’s definitely a fun layout and can’t wait to play it again!
Thanks for your comments and we look forward to seeing you again real soon.
Greens and fairways in great shape love the new system for yardage and keeping score on board the vehicles great time
Thanks for your comments and glad you enjoyed your golf experience.
Best Value.....Maybe in Texas
Booked 3 of Golf Advisor's top 3 public courses in Austin with a buddy for a weekend golf trip and this was the first stop on our list. Not only was it the nicest course we played all weekend, it was also the cheapest and had the friendliest staff. The greens and fairways are as good as any I've seen on a public course. The clubhouse and practice facilities are top notch, the course pairs beautiful views with unique challenges at a rate comparable to a nicer muni course. If I was an Austin area native, I'd be a regular here. You quite simple can't beat this course for the price.
Thanks for the comments and glad you had a great time here at Forest Creek..
Dishonesty in Pro shop
Very underhanded staff in Pro shop Lied to me about policy double charged me for one round. NEVER WILL RECOMMEND TO. ANYONE.
This doesn't sound accurate and if we did accidently double charge you, we would have refunded the amount.. Is it possible that you booked for 2 and showed up with 1?
Love the course
Forrest Creek is my favorite course, great condition and super friendly staff. The course have all different blinds of challenges that make each hole so much fun.
Thank you for your review. See you soon!
Great course. Conditions are first rate and the staff helpful and friendly. I will be back to play the course again soon.
Thanks for your review. See you soon!

Great couse!
course!! Like a private course. Beautiful condition.
Thanks for your review. See you soon!
Forest Creek is in top condition!
From tee to green, this course is pristine! I know there’s a regional amateur tournament in a week, so a friend & I decided to get out to Round Rock and play this track. It was obviously a good decision as the greens & fairways are in great condition.
Thank you for your review. See you again soon!
