Forest Creek Golf Club

Greens are in need of serious repairs and the pace was very slow, but we still had a great time and for the price on a Saturday morning, it cannot be beat in this area.

Booked a tee time a week in advance like I usually do just to find out course is closed for maintenance. No notification was given and tee times were still available for this day on golf now. Drove over an hour to play and was told pretty rudely I was SOL. Course told me they were unable to offer any refund for money paid so I’m out the booking fees I paid. Out of principle this is an awful way to do business and I won’t be going back to this course.

Lots of greens under maintenance, lots of sod ripped up. Hole 16 closed. Hole 3, par 5, turned into two different holes. One is a par 3, the other par 4. You still play 18 holes but its not the same Forest Creek.

Really liked the layout. Greens are hurting BUT management is trying to correct the situation. Everything else made for a good day.

Fun course. I can tell this place used to be amazing in its early years. Fun, challenging layout. Back 9 definitely plays longer and harder than the front, so get your birdies early. Alot of doglegs, and a couple of holes where you can't hit driver because of the fairway runout. Fairways were good. The sides had a couple bare spots. Front nine greens were pretty decent, but the back are having some trouble, but most are puttable, except for 1, which was pretty brutal. Tee boxes were ok. I can't fraction the stars, but condition would be more like a 3.6. And considering Austin courses right now, 3.6 is pretty good. Find a weekday to go play Forest Creek, because it's not worth what they're asking for on the weekends.

I've been playing Forest Creek for 25+ years and think yesterday is the worst condition I have ever seen the course (other than the ice storm a couple of years ago). To be clear, I saw the grounds crew all over the place. . . they are very obviously trying to address the problems but they have major issues. Should be paying about $25 to play right now. My favorite track in Central Texas. Really hoping they can recover but really irritated that they are not adjusting the pricing to reflect. Pace of play was not great either.

Played for the first time with my sons. We loved it. Staff was courteous, friendly and efficient. It was a busy Saturday, but we teed off exactly on time and finished in 4-1/2 hours. Never waited to hit a shot. Some greens were a little rough but overall the course was in good shape. Nice variety of hole layouts and challenges. We will play it again.

Always enjoy the layout presented at Forest Creek, was dissapointed to see the greens in such poor shape. IN hte past FC has painted the greens during winter and not sure if that is killing the grass but in a lot of areas it was just now painted dirt or sandy dirt/grass. The clear out and grass cutting done in "rough" areas was a welcomed update.

Pros: price was reasonable and even included a free dog, free beer and free small bucket. The staff in the pro shop was very nice, the snack bar not so much. Driving range is OK but we had to hit off mats. Fairways were good for this time of year. The greens are not great but they putted pretty true. It just looks like they are struggling to keep the greens healthy. There are some bald spots here and there. Overall, I don't think the greens were a serious drawback unless you are picky. Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience, well worth the green fee. This is an interesting track and some holes are quirky but fun. Recommended.

Fun layout, course was in good shape, overall an enjoyable experience!

Too much money for the conditions. Greene were in bad shape, lots of dead spots and pained dirt. Need to lower prices or get the course back in good shape.

Greens need help. A lot of areas need repair. Overall a good course. Played easily in 4 hours.

Thoroughly disappointed in the green condition at this time. Price way out of line to current course condition. I’ll give them a long break to get it together

Overall my two comments are the Pace of Play was a little slow, we approached 5 hrs. Second were the inconsistences in the Greens were not good. Each green was either Fast or Slow, Bumpy or Smooth, and you had to deal with one of those four combinations. I know with the winter we had some issues, which are inevitable, but this was pretty bad. I know they will get the Greens in good shape in a month or so, but I expected better.

Diseases all over the painted greens, tee boxes no grass which I can give pass due to winter months
