Really nice place
Really enjoyed the round. Course was in spectacular shape compared to other courses. Thanks for a great day.
Yikes!
The greens were in pretty bad shape. Dead grass and bare dirt in places. I’ve never seen it like this. The fairways were great. But you land on the green and it’s just a let down. My buddy and I were like “maybe the next green will be better”. But nope. I won’t play here again until I know the greens are back in shape…….
Hey Dave, thank you for providing your feedback on your recent experience. We appreciate your honesty and will definitely look into the condition of the greens to ensure improvements are made. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a better experience next time.
We’re thrilled to see you had a positive experience, mchurch8. Care to share any details?

Pace Slowed on Back 9
Enjoyed playing the course but we played the front in less than 2 hours and things came to a crawl on the back. Sometimes we were three deep waiting. It seems they snuck in some groups on the back which really slowed down play. If this was not the reason than the course layout needs to be revisited.
Hi David, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear you enjoyed playing the course, but we're sorry to hear about the pace of play issues you experienced. We'll definitely look into this further to ensure a better experience for all of our guests. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Nice and Green
Pros-
Friendly staff
Great bunkers
Greens were nice and receptive
Cons-
Range was so busy we couldn’t hit any of the range balls we purchased. Wish they would have let us know.
No marshal so a lot of random people walking, riding bikes, letting their pets dump all over the course.
Overall- good experience. Will be back.
Hi Carl, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our friendly staff and the condition of our bunkers and greens. We apologize for the inconvenience with the range and the lack of a marshal. We appreciate your understanding and hope to see you back soon!
My favorite public course in Ft. Worth area
I have always been a fan of Arnold Palmer and now a fan of this fun layout. Lots of options for club selection and some interesting green complexes. The lake house is nicely situated for refreshments…. On course too. Overall, a fine afternoon of golf I would highly recommend. See ya out there!
Hi Holland, we're thrilled to hear you had a great time on the course and enjoyed the layout and amenities, especially the Boathouse! Thank you for recommending us, we look forward to seeing you out on the course again soon!
Almost Perfect Winter Round!
Course was great but with a few annoyances: course was super wet due to over watering and they started us 40 minutes late. So, we weren't able to finish the round. They didn't offer any compensation.
Otherwise the course is a great layout and great condition for winter play. The pace was much better than in the past as this course tends to be the slowest in DFW
Hi Andy, thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during your round. We'll address the issues with our team to ensure a better experience in the future. We're glad you enjoyed the course layout and found it in great condition. We appreciate your support!
Fossil Creek
The location is super easy to get in and out. Pace of play usually pretty good even on weekends and the layout is pretty fun for being in the middle of town. I never have a round that isn’t fun.
Hi Craig, thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you find our location convenient and enjoy the pace of play. It's great to know that you always have a fun round at our course. We appreciate your support and hope to see you again soon!
Great public course
I play here at least once a month. This course is is always in good shape considering how many rounds are played on it every week.
Hi Craig, thank you so much for your positive feedback! We're glad to hear that you enjoy playing at our course regularly. Our team works hard to maintain its condition despite the high number of rounds. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you again soon!

Great course/be ready for 5 hours
Last few times we have played there, back 9 bogs down. Two/three groups waiting to tee off. It would be nice to have marshal speed up slower groups.
An Interesting Course
Fossil is one of my favorite courses in the Metroplex - one of only two Palmer designs.
The design follows the land contours - a little up and down, over a few creeks and around a lake.
#4 is a nice par 4 with plenty of trouble on the right and a forced carry into the green.
#11 teases you to carry the creek on your drive and then over the creek again into the green.
Nice mix of short par 4's and interesting par 5's.
The conditions are always good - generous fairways and well kept greens.
Decent
Greens were not in the best shape. Inconsistent speeds & a lot of debris (sand, rock, sticks) on the greens.
We’re thrilled to hear you had a positive experience. Is there anything you’d like to share that we can pass along to the team?
Nice course small greens
The course is challenging because of the postage stamp greens. Be ready for that; otherwise, it's in great shape but overpriced.
Hi Mcbrewer36, thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your thoughts on the course and its challenges. We'll take note of your comment on pricing. We hope you had a great experience overall and look forward to welcoming you back soon.
