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.

18th hole Photo submitted by BrandonTuckerGA on 11/13/2016
Great renovated course, but pace was a bit slow
This was my first time playing this course, and it just reopened after extensive renovations a few days before I played it. The course conditions and greens were great, and you can tell that after some additional time for the grass to settle in, this will be a gem of a course. Some challenging doglegs that require careful shot planning and nice par 3s. The one major blemish on the round was pace of play. We finished 18 right at 5 hours, and there were several occasions where two groups ahead of us were also waiting on the tee box. They may need to reduce the number of time slots to help with congestion. All in all a fun round and a course that I'll visit again soon.
Half open
Should have been a warning that the course was under repair. Not worth the money for only nine holes.
Just okay
Pace of play was BAD that day, 5hr round! 4deep on servers holes. Greens are still under recovery with some major dead spots. Nice layout and once greens recovery the course will be worth the green fees.
Good time
Overall the course was a good time. Cheap beers, challenging but fun fairways. Only hang up, the greens were washed out a bit. Tough to read. would go back for the price though.
Fun track, needs some TLC
Forest Creek is a great course, or could be. Trees keep you honest and in play. There is significant damage to a few of the greens but they are trying to bring them back. Rest of the course is in good shape. At the price it's a great golf value.
Stay away until they redo the greens
Not sure what happened bit the greens are basically gone! This used to be a premiere course bit no longer.
B
Greens are coming back, only a handful with significant damage. Fairways were in great shape. Pace of play was wasn’t bad for a Sunday morning, finished in under 4 hrs. Fun layout.
Greens improved
The course is in good shape with exception of greens. Greatly improved over a couple months ago but still have a few in rough shape. The others only had a couple spots on the edge. Staff told me they are sitting course down in November and totally redoing the greens. Not bad especially for an early tee time on the weekend.
Forest Creek@ Round Rock, Texas
Course in pretty good shape overall.. Greens coming back from too much rain in Spring time and Hurricane Harvey. Has some spots on greens that are fungus related . But staff is addressing those issues . In several weeks the greens will look and roll real well.
Horrible Greens and Bunkers
Course is in rough shape! Greens are a horrible mess. Bunkers are mud pits. It makes for a bad experience no matter how nice they are in the clubhouse. They need to shutdown and overhaul. Don't play here
#badroundofgolf
Course was in very poor condition. Pro shop gave free sleeve of balls to try and make up for condition of most of the greens. Pace of play was terrible I understand it was a holiday weekend , but a course Marshal passed our group twice but did NOTHING about the group in front of us. Eventually had to call the pro shop to try and get situation resolved. It took nearly 6 hours to play round of golf. Will definitely not return

Course is rough right now
Just an FYI, the course is pretty rough. With recent rains the fairways are still recovering but the greens are in really bad shape. They are dying along the edges and on some there are pretty big bare spots in the middle. I'd give this course at least a few months to get back into shape and go for other courses in the area till the greens recover and they get the fairways back in order.
Greens were terrible
We had seen that there had been "advisories" on this course for the last three to five weeks and read that the greens were still in recovery - but had we known the actual condition of the greens we wouldn't have played there,
Let's just say that they should have left the advisory warning up and going for a couple more weeks at least!
really well
the course is in the best condition but the greens are in bad shape but that it the price is amazing and the fairways and tee boxes are in great shape
Greens are in need of serious repairs and the pace was very slow, but we still had a great time and for the price on a Saturday morning, it cannot be beat in this area.
Course description
Fairways and tee boxes great had 4 temporary greens and some others were rough
Greens in Sad Shape
With the course in good shape generally, it is hard to understand how the greens got so bad. Most were un-puttable due to the rough bare spots. Four holes had temporary greens that putted almost as well as the regular greens. For a competitive round, you would have to use the "two putt rule". The layout is a little quirky and hard to visualize the first time around. $15 would have been a fair price for the round.
Green cobdition
Would like to have known that the greens were under repair before I made my tee time. Very rough green conditions
Greens were extremely poor and will take a while to come back.
