Hidden Hills Golf Club

Hidden Hills Golf Club sits on the High Plains of the Texas Panhandle, in Pampa, a small city roughly fifty miles northeast of Amarillo. Ray Hardy designed the course, which opened in the mid-1960s as a nine-hole layout before expanding to eighteen holes. Hardy, a Texas-based architect active during the post-war golf boom, worked primarily on municipal and semi-private projects across the state and Southwest, often creating playable designs suited to the region's climate and terrain. The course occupies rolling prairie land with modest elevation changes characteristic of the Panhandle landscape. Native grasses and scattered trees frame fairways that typically play firm and fast, especially during the warmer months when wind becomes a significant factor. The routing takes advantage of natural contours, and several holes feature elevated greens or tee boxes that provide views across the surrounding plains. Water comes into play on a few holes, adding variety to what is otherwise a straightforward test of ball-striking and course management. Hidden Hills serves as the primary golf facility for Pampa and the surrounding rural communities. The club maintains a welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere typical of small-town Texas golf, where local members and visitors alike find an honest layout that rewards accuracy over distance. The course remains a central part of recreational life in the area, hosting club championships and regional amateur events throughout the season.
