Forest Creek Golf Club
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.

Consistent coarse
You always know what your going to get when playing Forrest creek. Nice staff and green fairways.
Overpriced, bad marshals, too many overhanging trees
I heard they spent millions re-vamping this course. I just do not see it.
The course is a pretty boring layout. It does have one whole that makes a square around a patch of woods but why?
A marshal jumped on us after I tapped the flagpole with my putter. The green was so muddy i was knocking mud off.
He claimed I did "significant damage " to a flagpole with my putter?
That sun of a biscuit eater hawked us the whole round and sat between us and the green a few times. I buzzed one over his head. Very unprofessional.
We were using pushcarts and they had flooded the course trying to get the grass to grow. It was so bad I almost got a pushcart stuck walking across the fairway
I still stole 3 birds from this place but I doubt we will be back.
Trim some trees please!!
You should not have to contend with tree limbs from a tee box!
Great staff, good course
Always enjoy rounds at Forest Creek, fairways were manicured to the rough and the recent wet weather didn't hurt this well draining course!
Thanks for your comments. We hope to see you soon!
great course
This course is in excellent shape now. The greens were perfect
Thanks for playing.
Forest Creek Review
Good course. There are a couple of exceptions for some holes but overall good
Thanks for your review. We hope to see you soon.
Fun layout
First time playing the course and glad I finally tried it out. Interesting course with a lot of doglegs and you need to think your way around the course. Greens were in great shape and were firm and fast.
Nice layouts
Great! I enjoyed it to play golf and improve swing
Thank you for playing!
The more I play this course, the more I love it
Course is in good shape.
Layout is fun
I've played Forest Creek once a week for the last month.
It's my go to course in Austin now.
Thanks John! We are glad you are enjoying your golf at Forest Creek.
Always good
Forest Creek is always enjoyable IMO. The staff are great and the course is in good shape. An enjoyable round.
Thanks for playing Forest Creek.
Fantastic Course, Great Value
The first time we played this course, we were pleasantly surprised and it brought us back a second time. We didn't really know what to expect, but this course is beautiful. The layout is fun, lots of interesting holes. Amidst the pandemic, they provided water bottles in every cart. Staff was friendly and accommodating. We were going to be grouped with a pair who was 20-30 strokes higher handicaps and they did everything they could to switch us. Very organized and on time as well. If I lived closer, I'd definitely do the membership package! And as a bonus, we even saw bunnies!
Thanks for your review. We look forward to your return.
Great Day and Place for Golf
Friendly (but socially distant) staff made all pre-round activities easy. Course was in great shape. Players adhered to all current rules in ongoing coronovirus environment. Pace of play was great--finished 18 holes in 3 hr 40 min. Hot dogs, chips and soda capped a thoroughly enjoyable outing..
Great course, friendliest Marshalls ever
The course is great, doable and fun for starter, but challenging bfor advanced players. Great condition and beautiful scenery.
Odd Course
Course was kinda quirky. Greens were great but the layout is odd. There are 7 or 8 dog legs, all the par 3s were similar in length and houses are in play on many of the holes. Additionally, had a terrible interaction with the staff.
A great experience on a tough but fair course.
We have played at Forest Creek numerous times and each time how our experience has been great as long as the weather allows. Regardless, the staff is friendly and courteous and most accommodating. The golf course is particularly difficult when it's wet but most recently our play was dry and sunny and the course was in top condition.
Course Conditions are Excellent
Greens and tee boxes are in excellent shape, fairways are in good shape and will get better as we move into the Spring/Early Summer. Practice facilities (range, pitching green, and putting green) are also pretty darn good.
Awesome course
Forest Creek is awesome, great greens, fairways and tee boxes are in great shape and the staff there is very friendly and helpful. You would think your at a country club instead of a muni! Can’t wait to get back over there!!!
Sir, your behavior that day was totally unacceptable. We had to adjust the cup, you banged the flag stick so hard on the 2nd hole. The wetness you speak of was from a severe T-storm that dropped over an inch of rain a mere 2 hours before we opened. You exchanged un-pleasantries with more than one member of our staff during your round. We do our very best to insure customer satisfaction but we are not sure we were ever going to please you on this day. Hopefully it was just a bad day. Take care.
