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.

18th hole Photo submitted by BrandonTuckerGA on 11/13/2016
Course was in great condition! Great mix of challenging and gettable. Was very impressed for my first round. Keep up the good work. Will definitely return!
Texas golf
Really fun layout. Except for a couple holes every fairway has bend to it. It’s neat to play holes to make you think. A lot of the fairways are very wide but if you miss them on wrong side you can’t go at the green. Greens are big, undulating and in great shape. This is Texas golf all the way. I enjoyed the round
Thanks for playing and leaving a positive review. We hope to see you again soon!
Love this course
Great course with many challenging holes and a great layout. Course was in excellent condition considering we are in a major drought. Fairways were lush, the bunkers were were well kept and the greens were hard and fast. Just the way they should be. Would recommend this course to anyone.
Thanks for your 5 star review. We'll see you again soon!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We would welcome you to reach out to our General Manager, Jeff Dayton, to discuss your experience.

Thanks Ron. See you soon.
Great experience
Playing this renovated layout after several years away was a treat. Wide fairways with large accessible greens make for lots of opportunities to score. Staff is friendly attentive and helpful.
Thanks for playing and leaving a positive review.
Great Rounds
I’ve played this course a few times now and love it. The only thing is the greens are always dried out. When hitting green 9 out 10 times it’s going roll off. My only request for this course is water the greens more.
Thanks for playing and the greens are holding somewhat better. New greens usually take 12-18 months to start receiving shots. See you soon!
Trail fee?
Our 2-some had 2 complimentary Green Fee vouchers from the course itself. The voucher stated the cart fee would be charged at check-in. Ok, no problem, thats usually how it goes at most courses. Then, the employee said it would be $20 for a cart. Not $20 total, $20 per person for one cart. My buddy paid his $20 and told me i had to go inside to pay the cart fee as well. I told the guy that I decided to just walk the round instead of using a cart. He then said I would still be subjected to a $20 "trail fee". Whatever, I paid the $20, not a big deal, but the website has no reference to a trail fee. Has anyone ever heard of a cart costing $20 PER PERSON?? thats bad form in my opinion..
Thanks for leaving a review. Our Trail fee of $19 plus tax is fairly standard in the industry for golf courses in our competitive sect. Sorry it may have seemed exorbitant to you but most courses charge per seat, not per cart. Hopefully you enjoyed your round of golf. Thanks.
Solid track, with quality fast greens.
Forest Creek is a very decent layout, with fairways and greens in good condition. The welcome is excellent, and the green fee with cart, range balls, a hot dog and drink, and three complimentary balls for the round added up to good value. Overall, we were satisfied with the visit, and would have no trouble recommending it.
Thanks for playing Forest Creek and leaving a positive review.
Outstanding Customer Service
This round was with my son for his birthday. When I mentioned that to the pro shop they comped his round! Not only that but every staff member signed a birthday card for him which they presented to him on the 6th tee! The starter Mike was funny and engaging and made us feel welcome! The course was in great shape!
Thanks for playing Forest Creek and hopefully your son had a great birthday round.
First timer
I have been wanting to play this course for years but always heard how bad it was before they refurbished it. I have to say they have done an excellent job. I had a great time even though it took me a while to get off the dang tee.
Thanks for coming back for another try and we look forward to getting even better in the future.
1st time since the renovation
Staff was super nice.
Range was good. Nice chipping area
Course was in really good shape. Tee boxes all top notch. Greens are new, and they have made a couple of the almost unplayable ones good (looking at you, #8).
It's the same nice layout but with new greens bunkers and tee boxes.
We played a 4:05 round for a Sunday 12:30 tee time, so not bad.
Thanks for your comments. See you soon hopefully.
