Great course, but the greens are terrible

I enjoy golfing this track (Armadillo Hills and Deer Run - they closed Panther Claw a couple of years ago) - but they must improve their greens.
All the greens have slopes, which is challenging, but there's very little grass on the greens so it's like putting on glass.
EXCELLENT pace of play; Not crowded; snack bar/cantina sucks

Don’t play here unless you’re military.

You have to get a background check 5 days prior and it’s so not worth the BS. The rules were out of control due to it being a military base.

Kicked off after one hole with no refund

Played here a handful of times this year and had good experiences, but this visit was unfortunately the worst.
I was on the #2 tee box when the marshal/superintendent said they are kicking everyone off the course due to lightning. But when I asked about a refund or rain check, he said they don’t do that. I only played one hole…
Also, the group ahead of me was a fivesome which made it very slow. And the older gentleman on the cart staff was yelling at customers for taking the wrong cart. No need for that. This isn’t basic training.
On a positive note, both ladies that work the pro shop are absolutely great. Friendly, professional, and always smiling.

Nice course

Course is very interesting. A few blind shots but a nice layout. Be sure to go to the Visitor Center first to get a pass into the base. Definitely not a walking course.

Fun Course

This is a fun course to play and typically isn’t too busy. You need to get a day pass at the base’s visitor center to get on base where the course is located but that takes an extra 5 minutes max.

Course Changes

I'll start by saying that although I really enjoy playing at Clear Creek, it has become less enjoyable with the closure of Panther Claw. I'm not sure if the Panther Claw 9 holes are under renovation or if they are closing it down permanently, but now the pace of play has increased by quite a bit with only 18 holes available to spread everyone out on.

Military Base Course

Great course, scenic and challenging BUT add extra travel time as this course is on a military base. You must go through main gate security.
You will also need a Pass before entering, which can be otained from Visitors Center.

WARNING! This is ON Fort Hood...

You have to get a visitor pass from the visitors center before you can enter the base. That line could take up to 30 minutes, so give yourself enough time to get that done before heading to the course. That pass is good for 3 months. As for the course, it's worth playing. It can be challenging if you don't have GPS or course map. Plenty of blind shots at times. The front is harder than the back with some very tight windows to hit into, and large trees to navigate.

Great course for the price.

The greens here are probably the fastest greens I’ve ever played on. The course is challenging but fun, especially for the price. We’ve played 3 times now and our longest round was 3 hours and 20 minutes.
