Fabulous!

Fossil Creek, Ft Worth Tx, is incredible! One of the best courses I’ve ever played.
Tee boxes, fairways, and the greens were all in great shape. The layout is stunning, hills, creeks, trees, all just beautiful.
Can’t wait to play it again!

To Expensive for what you get

I seen five star reviews so booked a tee time to play here. We get in the tee box and it’s our turn to tee off and told we had to wait for another twosome that was supposed to play with us. We asked were are they and he says not here yet. We’re like what the heck. They hold us up waiting for them and they never showed up. I have played golf for many years and have never been told this. In fact they tell you to arrive 15 minutes early in case they run early. Then the fees are really high like $90 on weekend and no GPS, fairways are hard pan with no grass, the bunkers are not great and greens were horrible. This happens at this course a lot.,This is April not July or August. The staff was rude from the starter/Marshall to the manager. It is unfortunate because this course has a nice layout and is pretty tough and next to impossible to play in the horrible conditions. These 5 star reviews are a joke.

Arnie’s DFW Gem

Fossil Creek never disappoints. Great place to play if you can grab a tee time as this track sees quite a bit of activity. Fun layout with mixture of gettable holes & those where par is a good score. New carts soon on the way will make Fossil Creek even better

Rained out

Was great until a monsoon hit us on the 8th hole and rained us out for the day. Unfortunately from what I understand, once a round is started there is no refund or raincheck. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Thanks!

Course is in GREAT condition

Course is looking beautiful, only going to get better. Yes, carts could be updated, but I’m not here for the cart. Halfway house setup is perfect, and cart girl seen regularly. Even with a tournament in front, pace was good. Definitely going to be back

Disappointed

I make the tee times for a group of about 12 golfers and we can usually have from 6 to 8 players. BUT we can also end up with 5 players. THIS COURSE IS INFLEXIBLE. for fives-oms. Sorry, you may break up into 3 and 2 or someone can go home. So, today I went home. Although previously we have played 5 there and we are a ready play group and DO NOT hold up play, it was NOT GOING TO BE ALLOWED. I and my group do enjoy playing this course, however I must consider whether this aggravation is worth it when we end up with 5 players.

Disappointed

5 hour round on a Thursday afternoon. Golf carts are in bad shape, pace of play is slow and no marshal to move things along. Now I remember why I haven't played there in over 2 years.

Fossil Creek- Might have seen better days

A friend and I played here on 1/16/2023 (MLK Day) for the first time. We'd heard varied reviews of the place but decided to give it a chance.
Starting with the Clubhouse- Check in was fairly easy although due to an early tournament and what appears to be over booking, we had to wait until the last minute on a cart.
Carts are older and in desperate need or repair/replacement. (Torn seats, steering wheels not set in correct opposition to steering, very rough suspension)
Staff was generally polite (cart girl was great!).
Bathrooms could have used some additional cleaning.
Went to order drinks in grill and bar was out of bottled water (only one bottle left).
Course - Easy to follow layout. Appears to be very nice but, given time of year and maintenance, there were several issues.
Both fairways and greens were hard as concrete (greens were recently aerated and were not true rolling).
No sand on carts to fill in divots.
Was hoping there would be a cooler on the cart but there was not.

Uncertain I would recommend this course to anyone in the next 2-3 months but may try playing early Spring 2023 to see if conditions have improved.
