Palo Duro Creek
Palo Duro Creek is an 18-hole public course in Canyon, rated 4.4 from 151 Google reviews. Golfers praise the smooth fairways and good greens, along with the creek that winds through several holes and brings water into play on the front nine, while the back nine has more of a country club feel with houses lining the holes. Some find the fairways don't quite match the cost, but reviewers also mention a well-stocked pro shop, friendly staff, and a usable driving range.

Great looking public course the Fairways and the greens were really smooth. The pro shop had a large selection of different stuff driving range, tad, narrow and short, but still usable. Golf carts were newer with GPS which makes things a whole lot easier on person. I would definitely recommend.
This was a round of golf that we had not planned on playing. But we glad we found this location. Really nice young people inside the pro shop checking Us in and at the snack bar. Golf course was laid out nicely and in relatively good shape. If we could just get rid of the baron dirt spots in some of the fairways it would be high up on the list. definitely recommend this location for a round of golf if you're in the Amarillo area
PDC has the creek winding thru it on several holes, which makes it a nice challenge. The greens were really good. The issue I have: they charge as much as the Amarillo muni courses, but the fairways are not near as good.
Very nice course with water in play on the front nine and a country club feel on the back with all the houses. Greens are nice a quick with enough break to give you a challenge. Highly recommend playing here if you get a chance.
We have played here many times, but this one didn’t measure up. I think there is a need for a course Marshall to supervise those who have absolutely no golf etiquette. Two adult men in front of us with three small children under the age of ten hitting off the blue tees and sometimes a second shot off the white or red tees. All of them running in different directions, and one who often decided to chip and putt for a second time after their group had finished. One of the dads was constantly on his phone rather than supervising and both dads often played two balls themselves. In other gripes, the secondary rough had not been mowed in a long time and the course looked tacky in many areas. The staff in the shop are young but very courteous. They just need an older person to help remind people to be considerate.
