If you’re looking for one of the finest public golf experiences in Central Texas, just head north out of downtown Austin toward Georgetown. In less than thirty minutes you’ll arrive at the superlative course at the Forest Creek Golf Club.
Golf Digest recently awarded Forest Creek Golf Club the title, “Best Public Golf Course in Central Texas.” Established in 1992 and designed by Dick Phelps, the course has earned a stellar reputation for meticulous maintenance and a creative layout that challenges golfers of all skill levels. This is a pristine 7,147-yard par-72 course with plenty of tree coverage, foliage and manicured fairways.
