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.

Amazing facility
Been playing there for years always a pleasant experience. Awesome staff, always kind and courteous. One of the best if not the best public golf course in the Texas panhandle.
Very slow play. Kids running all over the course holding up play by cutting in front of groups. On any hole they want. Seems like they allow that there. During peak times.
Staff is Amazing
Course is in good condition and the staff is amazing. I love playing this course!
Good stuff!!!
First time playing PDC and it did not disappoint. Greens and fairways were in great condition, even after the rain. Will definitely be playing again next time I'm in the panhandle
Nice Course
Course has a nice layout friend staff well keep fairways and greenns
Round of golf with my son
We always enjoy playing on this course.
There always seems to be that one group that seems more intent on speed golf!!!!
Rather than enjoying a round!
Even when we are not holding them up.
This has happened the last two rounds of golf at Christmas.
Other than that issue, it was and always is a great place to play golf.
Great time on the course
Enjoyed a great round of golf at Palo Duro Creek. My biggest disappointment is the lack of consistency in Staff wearing of masks, even though the requirement is posted on all entrances, Two people behind the front desk, one wearing a mask. The second person put their mask on when I entered, and promptly removed it when I left. At the turn, neither were wearing masks. Two ladies at the grill - one masked, one not - in a very small space. I decided to skip my usual snack at the turn.
Nice
Nice course, great staff. Like to play here occasionally to get a change of style from the Amarillo courses. Great value and fun layout.
