I am a regular at Fossil Creek, They have the best deal for annual membership in the area.
That said, the sand traps are a definite detriment to the quality of the course. It is a Palmer design and the layout is very good except for 2 par 5s where driver is taken out of your hands. The greens are generally very good - especially for Bermuda greens and the fairways stay in pretty nice shape year round.
Some of the staff leave something to be desired but most are welcoming and attentive. The food and beverage service is up and down as the clubhouse is closed to players often when a wedding is being held. They simply do not have the facility set up properly to handle both weedings and golfers simultaneously, although ample space exists to accomodate everyone.
Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
