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
Greens good condition and weather was cool
The course was in good condition. Lots of watering fairway and greens. Challenging at times, but plays fair for the average golfer.
Great price
Pretty challenging course, but was fun with all the blind tee shots!
Solid little track
I've played this course a few times always in fair to good shape. Lots of doglegs and placement shots needed. No frills in the shop or grill. Been playing twilight and haven't seen a bev cart yet. Can't beat a 3 1/2 hr twilight round for $20.
Maybe Round Rock's most challenging
Great course that can jump up and bite you if you don't focus.
Good course, greens being airated.
I liked the course, but you have to hit fairways. The fringes of the fairway is so thick, it's hard to find your ball. Very difficult to get ball out of the "rough".
Some of the best greens in ATX
Always a pleasure to play. Course is shorter and nothing too special about it but nothing bad at all. They do have some of the best greens in the Austin area. Fast, smooth and receptive.
Pleasantly Surprised!
Really like everything about this course as my 4 star rating in every category will attest, The best part though was the sub-5-hour round (4 hours and 40 minutes) with a mid-Saturday morning tee time. Waited on the first couple of holes where I thought it was going to be a 5+ hour round, but then things seem to move right along until a backup on the 18th hole. All and all, a very pleasant golf experience.

Everything was great!!!!!
A challenge
For my first time being there...I didn't do to bad...I had a GPS app and a group that has played there before to help. I am a solid 13 handicap. I had a good time playing, the layout is interesting. Beautiful setting amongst a beautiful neighborhood. Greens were soft...fairways set because of the week of rain before. Numerous doglegs, a couple play almost 90 degrees and one turns 2 corners. I would definitely play there again. The price was right. I did lose 2 balls only because I took chances when I needed to lay up. Good luck.
Poor supervision & dangerous conditions
Actual neighborhood joggers on cart paths. Children playing in water hazards as you are trying to make a shot without hitting them. Pace of play worse as any muni course. Oblivious staff Marshall.
Golf course or neighborhood fitness & play facility?
Young unattended children were using the ponds on the 9th hole to play while you're trying to play a shot through them to the green. Marshall totally oblivious to what is going on course. When play slowed to 15-20 minutes on holes, he said some guys weren't keeping pace. He never showed back up again. Probably because he had no idea of his job and didn't want to hear the complaints. As a result of no course supervision , we had one neighborhood JOGGER running the cart paths like it was an iron man fitness course. On his 2nd pass around, he totally came out of the blue as I teed into a par three. I looked up as he jumped into view and the shot line drove into his right shoulder. He began screaming and said he was calling Williamson County sheriffs office and wanted my drivers license # and hauled back the way he came. He was wearing blue tank top and blue running shorts. He also had his ear phones. He had no idea he was on private property.....unless the club normally allows the neighborhood to use their facilities for other than playing golf. The course had lack of care to tee box areas. It was really out of control. No roll on the greens. I don't recall a round I've played in 25 years that could top this experience. I was so glad when I saw this review request in my email. I only hope that it is published and not culled out to make the course look better. Whoever is doing the survey is welcome to contact me further on these matters. The only thing positive is that maybe the course management will take this review as an honest assessment of their current situation. Sincerely
good time
good course, paired with good people, good weather. had a good time!
After rain strom
The course was cart path only because of all the rain we had in Round Rock. The course was changeling but enjoyable to play
Good course
Not a fantastic layout. A good course to jump around in and from. Driving range was kind of subpar. Overall felt like a city course more than a private course. I had a great pairing as the folks here are friendly at best. Greens are ok.
good course for weekend golfer
make sure you take a collared shirt. It is required to play. Booked on golfnow.com and was not told about that. Had to buy a shirt there but it was reasonably priced. overall had a good time. good course with some challenging holes for the average weekend golfer. descent facilities and staff was very polite and wanted to make sure your round was the best it can be.
Nice time
Very enjoyable nice place. Well worth the money, especially when booking tee time thru golf now.
Just ok
Course is in average shape. Pretty dry. Greens are bumpy.
