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.

Nice venue
Havn't been here in about 12 years. Has matured nicely. Greens and fairways were very nice. Can't wait to play again.
One of the more challenging courses in the area
Course was in great shape. They seem to be undergoing new management or changing owners since service was not up to standard in the pro shop.
Great Time Great Condition
Course is in great condition. I just got back from Napa and this course is much better than one that cost me $200.00 to play.
Everything was great.
Even though fairways were being worked on the course was in excellent shape. The addition of gps on the carts was a fantastic addition.
course great
Cousre was great shape. We were behind a four some that played from the tips that had no business from there. Staff did warn us.
Great Course!
Played this course for the first time with a friend on a Tuesday (8/19/14) @ 9:45am. We felt like we were the only ones on the course (possibly were) so pace of play was great. Course was in great condition overall. Only complaints were they sanded the greens that morning, so they were a bit tricky and the sand traps were very hard. Course really made me think about my play and club choice, appreciated that.
Would love to come back and play again.
Great Course!
Played here for the first time. Conditions were great for a hot summer day. Greens were pretty quick but rolled true. Fairways were nicely mown and the rough wasn't terrible at all. Only problem was the pace of play. Had a threesome a couple groups ahead that took a little while, and the twosome ahead of my group stood over every shot like it was to clinch a major. I don't mind taking the time to enjoy the course so long as it doesn't hinder pace for others.
I'd definitely play here again! This is definitely one of the better public courses in the area!
Slowest round ever
Great conditions but I would avoid Saturday mornings. Teed off about 15 minutes late and had to wait on every shot. The round took over 5 1/2 hours.
looking good
Played Forest Creek on 8/2/14. We got a great discount on Golfnow for a Saturday afternoon round. I was pleasantly surprised. The course was really in great shape. As good as i've ever seen it. Fairways and greens were all in good shape. The course is pretty tough. It's very much a target course while only needing driver on a few holes. Looking forward to playing again soon.
Great public course in Round Rock
Forest Creek is a challenging but fun course and is always in good condition. Even in the middle of the summer in TX, when many courses are struggling to keep their greens, Forest Creek is great. The fairways and greens were great. The only criticism is that there is not much sand in the bunkers which makes recovery tough (simple solution... Don't hit it into the bunker). Forest Creek is one of my favorite courses in the area. I highly recommend it.
This course is a good test for your game
Well maintained. Very nice fairways. Excellent greens. They roll true. Practice area well laid out. Staff have always been very friendly and helpful .
Very nice course
This course was in very good to excellent condition. It was our first time to play there and some local knowledge would help with the layout. There are some blind shots, doglegs and hidden trouble if you do not know the layout. We will play there again for sure it is a great value.
Will go back again and again
It has been several years since I played Forrest Creek. Last time I played, the course wasn't in great shape. It was ok, just not great. After playing yesterday, I rank it as one of my favorites in the Round Rock. From Tee to Green, the course was lush and beautiful. I hope you like trees, because this course has a lot of them. It isn't very forgiving if you miss-hit to the right or left. It definitely will bring new meaning to the term "Fairways and Greens". It's not impossible, though. I may play a few times a year, and I still shot less than 100.
Overall, this was an awesome course.
Course is in great shape
The course is in great shape heading into the Central Texas Amateur at the end of June. Great value for the money.
Forest Creek
Forest Creek was a fun course in great shape. Played on a Friday afternoon and yet it was not crowded - was able to play at our pace. The course had several hard bending dog legs. Fairways are wide enough but when the ball was is the rough it was difficult to hit - thick & deep bermuda (guess that's what a rough is suppose to be like).
It's a good course, but there are a few others in Austin that I enjoy more.
course ingood shape
As i found the golf corse in good shape and fun to play i was taken back by the desire to rush the players on the tees so fast that it couses a backup so the day was not as enjoyable as it could have been. They must remamber we are only ametures!
Memorial Day
Over all golfing conditions were only fair because of all the rain that day, but I was really impressed with the quality of the course considering the course had taken at least 1.5 inches of rain throughout the day. Greens were in pretty good shape. We got on the course via one of the "hot deals", so the quality of golf we got for our money was ideal. Would definitely would play again for the same price.
Very bumpy greens
Very bumpy greens. The driving range is in terrible conditions in fact that might be an understatement. They had two guys picking balls by hand. No cart girl on a busy Sunday. Course layout is great but the course is in desperate need of some TLC. If its not a hot deal it's not worth the money at all.
One of the toughest in Austin
Excellent staff and pricing from Golf Now for 52 dollars. The course itself is in average to above average condition but is definitely on par with where it should be for a public course. The greens are in good shape right now and are almost always in good shape as I have played this for a few years. The course is very tight and has multiple trees in the right spots that make you have to play to a specific side of the fairway to have a good angle to the green. If you are not a single digit player, prepare to lose some balls here more than most places. It is definitely a course to not miss and play if you visit Austin. The driving range is on par with a public course and there is a 50 yard separate practice green to hit to. Only complaint you might have here is the local golfers can hit in to you. (happened yesterday) I definitely recommend this course however.
Very well maintained!
Although I would have liked to have been there earlier, I was stuck in traffic on my way to the course and showed up right at my tee time. While checking in at the pro shop I was greeted rather rudely by the young man working the counter who said I needed to catch the group that teed off 10 min prior or I would not be able to play. I rushed to tee off and catch them. There was no one behind us the entire round! Not exactly a relaxing first 9 holes. Other than that the course is in excellent condition and would highly recommend.
