Things to Do in Hideaway, Texas

Recreation is the whole point of Hideaway, and its centerpiece is golf: three nine-hole courses — 27 holes in all — wind through the community, with renovated layouts and a well-appointed clubhouse where members gather. For golfers, having three courses within a gated neighborhood is a genuine luxury.

The community's three spring-fed lakes are the other great draw. Stocked for fishing and open for boating and water sports, the lakes give residents a private waterfront playground. Together, the golf and the lakes make Hideaway feel less like a subdivision and more like a year-round resort that people happen to call home.

Beyond golf and the lakes, Hideaway offers a full slate of community amenities: parks and picnic areas, a beach and swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds, and covered pavilions. The clubhouse and member facilities host gatherings, dining, and events that knit the community together.

For residents — many of them retirees and families who live there year-round — this means an active, social lifestyle without leaving the gates. Whether it's a morning round, an afternoon on the lake, a swim, a tennis match, or an evening event at the clubhouse, daily life in Hideaway is built around its recreational amenities.

Just outside the gates, the town of Lindale is about ten minutes away, with grocery stores and everyday conveniences, the popular Cannery shopping and dining district, and its own attractions. A bit farther, Tyler — about thirteen miles southeast — offers the full range of a small city: the famous Tyler Rose Garden, the Caldwell Zoo, museums, shopping, and dining.

The surrounding area adds even more, from lakes and state parks to the wineries and farms of the region. For Hideaway residents, the combination of a private recreational community and nearby towns means there's always something to do, whether inside the gates or just beyond them.
