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.

Lacking

The weeds around what used to be ponds are very high and the ponds are empty and need to be filled up with water. The tee boxes were in very bad shape. Either no grass and bare spots or grass so tall it was like rough.

Hidden Gem

This is my favorite course to play. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I drive from MesquiteTX to play the course almost weekly. It is not a long course but it will challenge all golfers. All greens are elevated. It has grass bunkers instead of sand. I also like that it is a traditional styled course meaning that it is an older styled course not developed within a subdivision. The course is well-kept. I highly recommend it. I always use Golfnow to book Hot Deals.

Great Value

Bought a new glove in the pro shop before my round. Let’s just say it cost more than I paid to play this gem of a course. I was the only one out there and just eased along at my own pace.

Can’t wait to go back!

Tough little course

This lower-tier daily fee course punches way above its weight thanks to elevated, domed greens and punitive overgrown rough that can gobble up errant shots. A little local knowledge goes a long way in identifying short cuts and risk/reward shots. Despite the summer heat and dry conditions (water hazards were as much dried-up mud pits as they were water), the fairways and greens were in good condition. Course infrastructure needs a major cash infusion, but the quality of the golf is much better than the facilities would suggest.

Elevation changes galore

Lots of elevated greens on the course--#2, #3, #5, #6 (from elevated tee), #10, #14 (from elevated tee), #16 (from elevated tee), & #17.

This course has its share of features that can make a high handicap golfer uncomfortable besides elevation changes. Mid-hole carries over creeks on #2 & #7. On #15, it's paramount to drive far enough left to have a good view of the green for the approach. On the approach to #17 there will be water to the left and water to the right.

If one lives locally, there are discounts to a few local merchants on the scorecard in the advertisement section.

For the money and area great choice

For what you pay you really cant beat it in our area. The pace has always been good, we have been playing Friday afternoons. If you are in Ellis County looking for something close this is a great option. The scenery is nice and wooded , hearing the owls was the coolest.

Much Improved Course Conditions

The tee box and fairways are in excellent shape. The greens are finally starting to be recovered from fungus/weed issues. The greens haven't looked this good in a few years. Glad to see everything getting maintained well again.

First round here in years

I used to play this course every weekend back in the 90’s for a few years and always enjoyed it. It is now a short par 70 course (used to be. Par 71). The greens were in great shape and the fairways were good. I forgot how tough the approach shots are into these elevated greens. If you are a little off you are pitching up the steep slopes. Played in the afternoon if just over 3 hours. You feel like you are in the country out there.
