Rating 74.8

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.

Dogs should NOT be allowed on the course

My group teed off at 11:50 and the 11:40 group had a dog with them. The dog proceeded to take a dump on the first tee in front of my group AND the starter. NOTHING SAID!

The dog was tearing up the greens as his owner was tossing balls for the dog to fetch.

These players should be fined /banned for the damage that occurred to the greens.

First Time Playing

Nine drives uphill and blind

First timer, tough course. Drives uphill (8) and blind are hit and pretty short, leading to looong second shots. I played green tees. Greens good, fairways good (no complaints).

2” of rain fell night before. Really wet in spots. Traps washed out. The playable traps, players did not rake.

CART PATH ONLY. 5-1/2 hour round. 5-1/2 hours.

Carts are electric and good.

Driving range closed in morning so no comment.

Great course

We had a foursome and this course was amazing. We were greeted right away with friendly staff who took care of us. Course was a true championship layout. Pace of play was right at 4 1/2 hours. There are marshals everywhere driving around making sure we were good. Highly recommend this course to everyone.

Pace was as slow as it has ever been

Tee time 220 went off on time. We were already waiting on hole two and then just got worse from there. It got so bad we didn't even get to finish the round two holes short before dusk and had to have the cart back. Almost as bad as Teravista on the Pace of play yesterday it has never been that bad but if that happens again I will not be back

Refund

To whom may concern

Me an my colleagues didnt meet the time.

Tee time was 4pm and we had arrived there around 4:10.

I requested them to play starting from 3~4th hole. They denied. I adked them again if we can play on half (9-18hole). They denied.

I had no choice but to reschedule the 4:40 tee time with paying all the money again.

May I ask you and team if it can be refund that I paid for 4pm tee times?

Course looks good

I have not played here for over a year. It appears to me as still a good layout and improved in some respects. I still think the course is too high for $70 a round! Seniors just can’t pay that on a limited income.
