Golf Club Of Fossil Creek, is a Public, 18 hole golf course located in Fort Worth, Texas. The course likes to bill itself as "The Southwest's most exclusive public course."
The Fossil Creek golf course first opened for play in 1987
Fossil Creek will challenge golfers of all skill levels. The course has beautiful rolling fairways and 18 testing holes all intertwined throughout streams created by Fossil Creek. This par 72 public course, designed by Arnold Palmer, winds its way through 1150 acres of natural Texas terrain.
Surrounded by rocky-ledged creeks and crystal lakes, gently contoured bluffs and massive trees, each of the 18 holes at The Golf Club at Fossil Creek issues a continuous string of challenges to experienced and beginning golfers alike. Fossil Creek is a challenging course with lots of: water (14 holes, which can cause a lot of trouble); creeks and ravines to cross; hazards including sand; a variety and doglegs (13); rolling hills with minor elevation changes; and tricky greens - now that's what makes a course fun, challenging, yet fair! You may want to leave your driver at home because this course requires excellent club selection, accuracy and course management. Although the course is not real narrow, if you get in the rough you will have additional trouble. Did all of that scare you away, I hope not because if you play this course you will really like it.
In the November 2003 issue of "Avid Golfer", in the Central Texas area they rated the Golf Club at Fossil Creek number 1 of the Best Golf Clubs with green fees of $40 to $60 and #1 of the best Bermuda greens courses.
