The Golf Club at Fossil Creek

A Legacy Etched in Limestone. A Club Built for the Ages.

The Golf Club at Fossil Creek opened in 1988 with a distinction that set it apart from every other daily fee golf facility in the DFW Metroplex: a championship layout personally designed by Arnold Palmer, one of the greatest and most beloved figures in the history of golf. From its very first season, the club earned national recognition as one of the best new resort golf courses in America, a tribute to both the brilliance of Palmer's design and the extraordinary natural terrain of Fort Worth on which it was built. In the decades since, Fossil Creek has grown into one of the region's most treasured golf destinations, drawing players from across the Metroplex and beyond who come not just for the round but for the full experience: the world-class dining, the elegant event spaces, the warm and professional hospitality, and the unique privilege of playing a course that carries The King's personal signature. Managed today by Arcis Golf, Fossil Creek continues to honor the vision that made it legendary while evolving to meet the expectations of a new generation of golfers.

The Course That Carries The King's Signature

When Arnold Palmer personally designed The Golf Club at Fossil Creek, he was given a canvas unlike any other in North Texas: an old limestone quarry with dramatic cliffs, contoured bluffs, natural creek beds, and rolling terrain that most designers could only dream of working with. Palmer responded with one of his most visually stunning and strategically rewarding designs, a par-72, 6,865-yard championship layout that wraps around every natural feature of the land with a fluidity and beauty that makes the course feel as if it has always belonged there. Named one of the best new resort golf courses in America the very year it opened, and widely regarded as one of the last courses Palmer personally designed, Fossil Creek remains a rare and meaningful piece of golf history accessible to every golfer who walks through its gates.

The Golfing Experience

Playing The Golf Club at Fossil Creek means stepping onto one of the last courses personally designed by Arnold Palmer, where limestone cliffs, crystal lakes, and championship conditioning combine with the warmth, accessibility, and spirit of a club that has been welcoming Fort Worth golfers since 1988 and has never stopped earning the title of the Metroplex's premier resort golf experience.
