Not easily, no. Definitely not in Moodle. 

Anyway, what do you mean by "restrict". Take it away from the course listings or more than that?

An easier way to do it could be , checking the User id, if the user ids are known.

 

Or you may check the users IP address . All these are available in the $USER object.

Hi Zeid,
Do you mean that in a building office or campus it is visible to those users, but to anyone logging in from elsewhere, not seen?

If so, you can reference a html page held on a local server (within the subnet) hold it in an iframe or link to it (using the ip address). Outside of the network it will not be displayed. This can be done without hacking moodle.
