East at Hide A Way Lake Golf Club

Hide A Way Lake Golf Club's East course is located in Hideaway, a small community in northeast Texas between Tyler and Longview. Designed by Jeffery D. Blume, the course serves a private residential community built around a series of lakes in the East Texas Piney Woods region. The setting features rolling terrain characteristic of this part of the state, with mature pine and hardwood trees framing fairways and defining playing corridors.

Blume's design works with the natural topography and incorporates water features that are integral to the community's lake system. The routing takes advantage of elevation changes that are more pronounced than what golfers might expect from East Texas, creating variety in shot requirements and visual interest throughout the round. Tree-lined fairways demand accuracy from the tee, while greens are typically elevated and protected by bunkers and natural slopes.

The course serves as the centerpiece of a gated lake community where golf is woven into the residential lifestyle. Members have access to amenities that extend beyond golf to include lake recreation and social facilities. The East course represents one component of the club's offerings, providing a traditional tree-lined parkland experience that suits the preferences of the community's membership while respecting the natural pine forest environment of northeast Texas.
