Forest Creek Golf Club

There are many blind holes, lots of trees in play, crazy doglegs. Good course but very hard to know where to hit for a first time player. The facilities are poor but the golf worth the trip.

Forest Creek gives you a little bit of everything. The course has holes that are extremely long and holes that require a player to hit targets both in the fairway and on greens. It's a great test of golf if you really want to know what kind of player you are.

Great shape. True greens. Fair and fun. Better condition than TeraVista the day prior! Awesome value. Add a drink cart and you'd be gold.

I am a 10 handicap and played from the blue tees.
Pros....good condition, tree lined fairways, rolling terrain, well bunkered in good condition.
Cons...slooow play, no marshal, no beverage cart, too many blind shots, too much "target" golf required, too many severe doglegs (especially on two of the par fives). carts are in terrible condition and the entire fleet needs replacing.

Good day. Good course. Good round. We teed off around 3:30PM on Friday before the Labor Day weekend. We (twosome) teed off just before the crowd showed, and was able to finish in little less than 4 hours which is really good pace for Forest Creek. However, when we were done around 7:15ish, the everything was locked up, including the restroom. There were several other groups behind us that were still playing. We couldn't wash up or use the restroom. That's not right. I took a higher road, but I bet many guys will just relieve themselves against the wall or trees. Not very customers friendly thing to do.

Course on a whole is going down hill, used to be a well taken care of course but now looks like it wont recover at all, when you first pull up you can notice the facilities are in need of maintenance and a face lift. Rough is in bad shape and fairways are ok at best. Putting greens are in bad shape ball bounces on almost every green.
Wouldn't recommend at all

I like the value this course offers for the money. Though not always the case, pace of play was slow the last time I played it. We had to wait 20 mins or so to tee off and we were slowed down as soon as we got to the second hole and thereafter turning our round into a 5 hour round. Staff is friendly, the beer is cold and the food is good. They are overdue for new golf carts. I would play this course again.

Well kept greens and fairways. I'm definitely coming back soon.

The course was not in its usual condition because of the amount of rain that fell this year. The bunkers were in really bad shape. But it's all a temporary problem. I enjoy playing the course. Shot selection off the tee box is key to a good round. I look forward to my next round at the course.

I played this course last year around Thanksgiving, and loved it. Challenging, fun, and beautiful. This was my second time playing the course and in 7 months, the quality has disappeared. After record rainfalls this year, most courses are in the best shape I have ever seen them (for summer conditions). Not here...the greens were very bumpy and had bare and burned spots, the fairways were not cut properly and the bunkers were unplayable holes with dirt, rocks and weeds/grass in them. We played all bunkers as ground under repair. I will be skipping this course in my rotation until I hear that it is being managed better.

Forest Creek has a challenging layout and is in very good condition. This course causes you to hit every club in your bag and some of the holes have some unique configurations. The rough was very thick both along the fairways and around the greens. The bunkers were in pretty bad shape but it appeared to be due to all of the recent rain.

First off, the course had some issues from the hill country flooding of the previous week which caused some condition issues. I rated the conditions as good in spite of the obvious flood damage to many of their sand traps and fairways. They have some work ahead of them to return the course to what looked like a nicely conditioned course. All of that said, I thouroghly enjoyed the course, the layout and the challenging play. the greens were in good shape and putted true. the areas that had not seen flood waters were in good shape and we had a lot of fun. The course Marshall was enjoyable to talk to as a group of speed golfers behind us wanted to try and beat a 3 hour round. We played at a brisk p[ace and kept up with the group in front of us and offered to allow the speed golfers to go through at the turn but they declined once they saw there was a group in front of us. I feel sorry for them not being able to enjoy their golf nearly as much as my brother and I did. We asked a single to join us on the back and had a blast.

My only negative about this outing was that the ninth hole was shortened to a par 3 as a result of the flood. I personally believe that if a course is not able to be played fully the rate should be adjusted during those times. We paid the full weekend fare as if it was in normal playing condition.,

I do not go around life being critical of the shortcomings but rather enjoyed being able to get out and play. I cant wait to be able to play this course again but I will call first and ask what shape they are in.

Will definitely be back,. The first few holes we were rained on and the rest were soggy so cart path only...yet still enjoyed and appreciated this little gem tucked remotely. Looking forward to playing in dry conditions upon my next trip back to Texas. All previous reviews are correct by stating excellent condition, slopes on every hole with challenges throughout... As stated, can't wait to play again in dryer conditions.

Very enjoyable course to play. Greens and fairways in great condition but the bunkers are a disaster; hard to describe bunkers other than they are "crusty".

Very nice course and a very friendly staff. I would recommend this course if in Austin. Some very neat holes.

This is the third time I have played this course and every time the pace of play on a weekend was over 5 hours for a round. The most recent round was 5 hours and 15 minutes and the previous round was over 5 1/2 hours long. Just ridiculous pace of play. The course is NOT in good shape either so that doesn't help "make up" for the awful pace of play.

I will never play this course again and recommend to anyone who asks to avoid this course unless you want to waste a day at a golf course. Additionally, the next day (a Sunday) we played Grey Rock in three hours and 55 minutes which just accentuated how poor the pace of play was at Forest Creek.

We play at Forest Creek a few times a month on average. When we played on the 16th, we were the only ones on the course. The staff stayed the entire afternoon essentially just for us to play a round of golf in freezing temperatures and rain!

That says it all about Forest Creek and the service the staff provides!

Great time, coarse was in great shape as usual and the staff was friendly an accomodating

Extremely slow on the weekends. Too crowded. Easily 6 hour rounds.

Otherwise, a solid course. Fun to walk. Few different risk-reward shots. I would go back and play - but only during the week.

This course was a blast. Absolutely a TARGET GOLF course. Almost every shot involves a strategy; very few holes can you just 'grip it and rip it'. Keeps you on your toes. Greens in GREAT shape for this time of year. Only complaint of the course are the bunkers. Played at noon on a Sunday afternoon in early February, when it was 65 degrees and sunny... only cost me $40! Amazing deal for the quality of golf. Highly recommend.
