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.

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.
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!!!
Golfnow dropped the ball
Golf now failed to send our reservation to Forest Creek which in turn meant we didnt get our tee time, our hot deal price and ruined our day. I have the confirmation email but the golf course did not and did not honor it since they had no idea about it.
Great Course
The greens are true and fast. Some of the best I have played on. The fairways are green and have grass. Not very many “tight lies”. It is always a pleasure to play here. Did I mention, the price is usually right. Hopefully, no one reads this review, because everyone will want to play. It is nice that I can play this course in less than 4 hours, most of the time.
Good layout. Many doglegs and blind shots. Greens are fast and sloping. Premium on shot placement, not power.
Nice course
Excellent winter conditions. Marshall worked hard to hasten pace of play. Round took 2 3/4 hours. Friendly and helpful staff.
Great layout at Forest Creek
I've played a number of rounds at Forest Creek. This is a public daily play course in Round Rock that is 0wned by the city of Round Rock. While it is a public course it plays like a private club with good variety on the holes, a very nice layout, excellent playing conditions, and a very walkable course routiing.
The course underwent an extensive renovation two years ago which included rebuilding all the greens. While the greens were tough to hold last year, this has improved quite a bit this year. The greens read true and were very smooth and fast. Despite 3" of rain two days earlier (and cart path only play), the course had drained really well with few wet areas. The sand traps were in exceptional condition, something not often found in central TX courses. I'm not sure if this is a carry over from the renovation or if there has been work done more recently. Despite the rain, there was no standing water in the bunkers and all of them have been dressed.
The staff, including the workers on the course, are all very friendly and helpful. It obvious they have been well trained.
In all, this is a very nice course and great value. A course I would play every day.
Major Improvements
Lots of fun playing at FC. Greens, fairways tee boxes all well maintained. Friendly helpful staff everywhere. Prices are good, and the burger alone is worth a visit.
Thanks John! We are glad you are enjoying your golf at Forest Creek.
