Way over priced for greens that are this bad.

I just can’t believe that these greens are in this condition after being replace 10 years ago. The greens are dormant like all greens are during winter, but these are covered in rot or fungicides. No true roll, your putting on rotted greens.

Disappointed

I was surprised - they sell a tee time BUT they did not give there full normal deal. They give a small bucket of range balls as part of there deal.

Greens are really bad

Good fairways and tee boxes but greens were in really bad shape. Many had significant dead spots, thin grass and lots of dirt for surface. Quality of the greens has really declined.

Bad Management

Yesterday I played at Forest Creek and I have played here many times before. When I have played here before, if you reserve a teatime before noon, you’re supposed to get a deal for a free hotdog and drink and small bucket of range balls. They told me because I booked through GolfNow. They would not honor this deal when they have many times in the past. Also the greens were in absolutely horrendous condition. There were many bear spots or spots were grass was in very bad shape. They were not rolling even at all. The managers were also very rude when I tried to explain that I’ve gotten the deal many times in the past. For the money, there are much better courses to go to in the area.

Not bad, but overpriced

Overall, it’s a good course. Some greens had some trouble spots on them, but they aren’t the worst I’ve played on. Cart girl came around twice within the first 5-6 holes, but none after that. Finally saw a different one once we were already on 18. Definitely need to stay on top of that as we would’ve been buying every time she came around. I’ll play here again and hope things are a tad better.

A painful experience

FIVE HOUR AND TEN MINUTE ROUND.
No marshal activity to fix the problem. Called pro shop during the round, and nobody answered the phone. And this was on a Monday. Makes for a very low probability of playing here again.

Tee boxes and fairways were in fair condition. Sand traps were in good condition. Most greens were rough.

Not worth it

Really not worth the price or drive. The fairways were barely fairways, and the greens were patchy and rough. If you live in round rock it could potentially be worth a quick round but if you live near Austin, don’t take the trip. HOWEVER the free hot dog and beer at the turn was a nice touch.

Winter Golf conditions

Course was not in good shape. Greens looked like they had treated them with some kind of winterizing Fairways winter grass. Challenging course. Fun to play. Staff always pleasant. Love the free small bucket of range balls and free hot dog (even though I don’t eat meat).

Excellent Golf

Great conditions. even with freshly sanded greens. Not overly challenging, and fair. A consistent layout that allows for a good rhythm, thoughtful club selection, and good scores. The pace of the greens is great, bring your lag game. A really worthwhile experience.

Nice course

Overall nice course for the value. Some greens seemed over watered TBH, but still is good shape. A few had patches of turf replaced that were growing back.
Fairly good pace of play.
Most prices on all courses have gone up, this one is no exception, but at least not as much as Star Ranch has.

We had a nice Thanksgiving playing this course. The greens were in good shape and the layout is somewhat challenging.

It was a nice round. Would be cool if we paired with people who can play.
