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.

Great Course, Well Maintained
This was my first time playing the course. I really enjoyed myself. The layout was great and the course was appropriately challenging. Liked the little touches like water provided by the course in a cart cooler. Also liked the directions given by the screen in the cart. Overall it was a great experience. .
Great course!!!
First time playing here. After a rainstorm. Course is challenging but yet forgiving as well. Would definitely recommend this course to anyone for either 9 or 18!!!
Pricey but totally worth it.
This course was a higher price than the average of the area but it was fantastic and completely worth every penny. Lunch included, range balls included, friendly staff, and cart girls every couple of holes. Course was super fun to play and in great condition. Would come again
Fun course with greens back to normal playing conditions
Great to see greens are back to good playing conditions. Needed more in the coolers in the heat of the summer as most were almost empty.
It’s ok
Forest Creek was my favorite course in Central Texas. I still like the layout & challenge, however the greens still need work & the new management team is not nearly as friendly as the previous staff members. I still enjoy the course, but overall it’s not as good as it used to be.
Phenomenal Course
A lot of Austin courses seem to be having issues with their greens this year but Forest Creek is far from that. Great greens, great fairways, great carts and great staff. Everyone’s super friendly, prices are a bargain in my opinion. Even a domestic beer is $4 which is unheard of at a course around the Austin vicinity. I highly recommend Forest Creek, we’ve been here about 10 times and will continue visiting. The only complaint I’d have is we’ve gotten behind a couple slow groups a couple times but that’s literally every course, I’m not one to blame the golf club themselves unless it’s a constant issue. Overall, hats off to the Forest Creek team.
One of the best courses in the Austin area
This had to be one of the best experiences I’ve had at a new golf course. Course was kept up and challenging for a high handicap player like me.
Not what it used to be
The course did not do well this winter, but the greens are relatively decent now. The pace of play continues to be exceptionally slow at 4.5 hours plus. The range is abysmal
The hardest mats you could imagine. Overall service and value has declined tremendously.
Always love playing here
My buddy and I play here every few months. Always get your money's worth. Free range balls and lunch.
Rough is Crazy
Please mow the rough !!! People are spending 10-15 minutes looking for their balls ! Pace of play is suffering because of this !
Great Layout
The course has a great layout. The extra 30 fee for bringing along my wife was a surprise to us,as other nice courses usually let you have a rider for free.
The pace of play was very slow because of the popularity of the course. It is worth the slow play with the layout that they have. I would return and recommend to anyone. The staff was great.
