HIDDEN FALLS GOLF CLUB

The limestone bluffs and natural creek beds threading through this Hill Country layout create elevation changes that rival anything in central Texas, with the par-3 14th plunging 80 feet to a green guarded by a cascading waterfall. Designer Leon Howard carved fairways around century-old live oaks and native granite outcroppings, demanding precision over power on a track that rewards local knowledge. At under $60 for weekend play, it's the kind of shotmaker's paradise that serious golfers discover and quietly keep to themselves.
