Country View Golf Club

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!

I play Countryview almost weekly. I drive 20 miles to get to the course. It is my favorite course. The staff is awesome. All greens are elevated. All the bunkers are grass. The course has a very nice layout. I highly recommend it.

Enjoyed the round. Elevated greens require great approach shots.

Fairways in good shape. Greens had just been sanded

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.

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 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.

Course conditions are shaping up to be great for rest of summer & fall. Green issues have finally been resolved & they are rolling smoothly. These are best they have been in some time. Great job by new staff.

Hard firm fairways. Greens are slow still. Not what they use to be before the management changes two years ago in 2018.

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.

Had a good time but almost all short but definition of learning short game

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.

Overall had a good time. Staff was extremely friendly and glad we were there. Plenty of shade on the front, not much on the back. The service cart was out, so no refreshments out on the course. Had to skip a hole because of extremely slow foursome in front of us. Multiple groups had to skip by. Course was in good shape, greens and tee boxes were fine. We were laughing by the end of our round because of the lack of trash cans on the premises. Our carts were a mess by the end of the round and the only can we could find was at the cart return.

First time playing. The staff was absolutely amazing!!! The golfer we were paired with was super nice! The course was great for couples play. We had a blast! Drinks were an excellent price!! We will go again!!

Wow, I think the super positive reviews are fakes. This course is like playing in the back country. The rough is really rough, the tee boxes lack care, and some holes you are hitting over messy jungle. The layout on a few holes is impossible to navigate and there wasn’t much care off the fairways in any sense. We paid $43 each which was outrageous for this course. We have better public courses in Dallas for $1-$2/hole. the only good part was the greens which were actually really well cared for. I wouldn’t waste my golf money you can pay similar for much nicer courses.
