Palo Duro Creek Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Palo Duro Creek is a wonderful course that is sometimes maligned by the locals for being in less-than-perfect condition. Out-of-bounds squeezes the narrow fairways on most holes on the front nine as it winds through a residential community. Then water becomes the predominant hazard on the back, impacting almost every hole. Your approaches will find fast, undulating bent-grass greens.
The design features two challenging par 5s: The 549-yard No. 5 plays uphill into the prevailing wind, and No. 12 plays almost 600 yards with a tee shot through a chute of trees, and two more shots over water, including the approach into a green that is surrounded by the wet stuff. Another tough hole is No. 14, a 225-yard par 3 that requires a solid shot to carry the water.
Getting there : From I-27 south, exit Hunsley and go west. When you get to Country Club Dr., turn south and the course is about a mile away.

Pleasant
On a hundred degree day, we were surprised that there was not drinking water out on the course. There's been drinking water before.
Great Hidden Gem
Overall great course! Construction still has the 9th hole playing like a long par 3 but a great course in great condition for a great price!
Construction warning
Overall course in good shape. I wish the staff warned of moved tee boxes and closed holes. Looks like their sprinkler system is being upgraded. I wish the fee was reflective of the golf round.
Go play it.....
Even though the course was going under some moderate changes. And one whole was not playable. The fairways were great along with the greens. The course poses a bit of difficulty in his placement. But all in all it's a great place to play.
