The Hideout Golf Club and Resort

Hidden away on the rolling edges of Brownwood, The Hideout Golf Club and Resort is the kind of Texas escape that feels equal parts secret and social club. Mornings break with sunlight glinting off the fairways, a hum of golfers trading stories around the pro shop, and families drifting through clusters of ranch houses and cabins tucked into oak groves. The lodge restaurant draws both locals and out-of-towners—its butter cake and surf-and-turf have a reputation that stretches past county lines. Evenings settle in with cocktails by the pool or laughter on wraparound balconies where neighbors become friends over strong drinks. Community ties run deep here; retirees, young families, and visiting business folks all find plenty to savor, from themed dinners to lively playgrounds for the kids. It’s a gathering place that balances country quiet with genuine hospitality—never showy, always authentic, and unmistakably Texan. Whether you’re teeing off at sunrise or toasting at a wine-pairing dinner, The Hideout makes even a short stay feel like you’ve joined an ongoing local tradition.
