Country View Golf Club
About
Ron Garl came to Lancaster, Texas in 1989 to build Country View G.C., a truly unique course. No. 7 is the most difficult hole -- a long dogleg right with water in play off the tee and in the fairway. Also, get ready for no. 15, a unique par 3 that features a green completely surrounded by huge trees. Most of Country View's tee boxes are elevated and there is water in on over half of the holes.

Course was dry and hard. Each green was elevated a bunch. If your approach shot landed on the fringe, forget it. Your ball would end up 40 feet off the green and you would be pitching the ball up 20 feet to a blind shotTee boxes were so hard it was difficult to get a tee in the ground. This might be a course that would be ok if you are a 2 handicapper but for me at a 14 handicap it was a beating. Luckily it was a hot deal on golf now for $16.99. At regular rates it would feel like robbery.

Reviews are thoughts of the moment and not always fair for overall conditions
Its difficult to give this course lower marks strictly on what i saw. I would like to point out the staff were all friendly and helpful. The course itself needed a lot of work and cleanup which is where the lower marks come in. It is winter so i am not going to harp on the fact that i dont think there were any live blades of grass anywhere on the course. The tee boxes were very poorly kept. Huge divots all over and broken tees littered the ground everywhere. The fairways blended in to the surroundings due to the lack of separation. The creek was a crystal clear water surrounded by mounds of trash that littered the banks. The ponds were confusing as some were ok and others were dry and littered with trash including old tires. “The Greens” were lacking but yet pin locations were somewhat challenging. Many holes were lined with beer cans and someone had even dumped their lunch container by one of the tee boxes instead of putting it in the trash can. It would be easy to say the course is failing at upkeep but when the players/members treat it like they do then they are causing the self infliction upon the course. The layout of the course is fairly simple and straight forward which makes it good for newer to average golfers. The price was right which also makes it a great value for newer or average golfers. My overall thoughts are that i would not play this course again until it is cleaned up from the garbage and from the individuals that are disrespecting the course as well as the game.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Country View Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Nice find
I have played this course twice a couple months apart and have been impressed both times. Staff is friendly and course is well maintained. Bonus points for grass driving range and reasonably priced bar/food options. Elevation changes keeps the course interesting but is playable for all handicaps.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Country View Golf Club.
We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at Country View Golf Club!
Postage stamp elevated super fast greens. Must know where to land the ball

It had been a couple years since I had played here. Coarse was in really good shape, fairways were excellent for the time of year. Greens rolled true. I had a great day of golf
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another enjoyable round of golf. Thanks for choosing Country View Golf Club.
Very surprised
I was not expecting much when we booked this course last second... but what a pleasant surprise. This course is a lot bang for your buck. Greens are excellent but very challenging. Almost every green is elevated which forces you to hit accurate irons into them. This is a fun course.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Country View Golf Club.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Country View Golf Club!
Disappointing!
Today's round was extremely disappointing. Course was overcrowded, round took 5 hours, very dry tee boxes to the point you couldn't even get a tee in the ground, and staff was rude to one of the members in our group. Have played this course many times over the years and this was the most disappointing I have seen the course. Hopefully whoever is running this course takes notes from the reviews. Things need to change and need to change quickly.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We see you rated the course 2-stars and are interested in learning what we can do to improve for your next visit.

Surprisingly difficult!
Overall great experience. Some tough pin placements. Each hole was quite tricky. Summary: pleasantly surprised!
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Very slow pace of play.
Greens were in great condition! Only complaint today was that the pace of play was extremely slow.

Thank you for playing Country View Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
Good Value
Course layout was very questionable and not very player friendly. Elevated Greens and super fast conditions made it increasingly frustrating as we realized each hole was like or worse than the previous one.
Grass condition was incredibly dry and the pair in front of us had little to no regard with Pace of Play etiquette. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We got a good price for it and had a good time. Definitely not our favorite course but offers a challenge and something different for everybody.
