Armadillo HillS Course
The Courses of Clear Creek
About this course
Armadillo Hills is one of the courses at The Courses of Clear Creek, a military golf facility located on Fort Hood in central Texas. Designed by Leon Howard, the course serves the large military community at one of the nation's most significant Army installations. Fort Hood, situated between Austin and Waco, occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Texas Hill Country's eastern edge, where limestone outcroppings and native grasses meet post oak and juniper woodlands. The course takes its name from the armadillos common to the region and reflects the natural topography of the area. Military courses like those at Fort Hood typically balance playability for golfers of varying skill levels with design features that make use of the existing landscape. The central Texas setting means the course contends with the climate extremes of the region—hot summers and variable winter conditions—and the routing likely incorporates elevation changes and natural drainage patterns typical of Hill Country golf. The Courses of Clear Creek provide recreational amenities for active-duty service members, military families, and authorized personnel stationed at Fort Hood. As with many military facilities, the courses emphasize accessibility and value while maintaining conditions suitable for regular play. The setting offers views of the surrounding military reservation and the characteristic Texas landscape that defines this part of the state.

Getting there
The journey to The Courses of Clear Creek begins at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport or Killeen-Fort Hood Regional, the latter offering a shorter, fifteen-minute drive directly onto the sprawling military installation at Fort Hood. Access requires proper military credentials or sponsorship, lending the arrival a quiet formality distinct from civilian golf destinations. Once cleared through the main gate, the route winds west across the Central Texas prairie, past training grounds and live oak groves, until the landscape opens onto the manicured fairways and clubhouse of The Courses of Clear Creek - a serene enclave carved from the rugged Hill Country terrain that defines this corner of the Lone Star State.
