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.

Pleasantly surprised

Tee time was 9:04 Saturday morning and they got us going right on time. Single rider per golf cart and the tee times were set up to allow the group in front to reach the #2 tee before we got started. As a result, pace of play was excellent - we never saw the group in front of us or the group behind us.

Tee boxes are a little bumpy and hard but they all have grass and serve their purpose well. Fairways were in decent shape and greens looked great for a city course. Outside of the fairways the growth is getting a little tall and thick and could use some mowing but under the current covid slow down, I would say that the team at Country View is doing a pretty good job of providing an enjoyable round of golf for their guests. If you have never played at this facility, overall the course is fairly short but challenging. Several tight fairways and strategically placed dog legs place a premium on shot making, but not so difficult that it would discourage even a beginner golfer. This course is a 50 minute drive for me to get to but I will be back as soon as the weather and my schedule allows - it got the best of me a couple of times and I'm eager to redeem myself.

The only complaint I have is the tall grass around the tee boxes. Or they could mow a path to the tee box. Otherwise it’s in great shape.

Frustrating Afternoon of Golf

The level of precision needed for this course is ridiculous. The Turtleback greens leave no room for error on the approach and you can literally hit the ball into the fairway and lose it due to the tightness and lack of grass and hardness, which makes for unstoppable features as there is no room for the ball to stop Before it goes in to unapproachable brush. By the end of the round I was thoroughly frustrated.

The name of the course is accurate. If you like the feel of the country yet it has plenty of trees and water, this is the course for you. Somewhat challenging but not so difficult you can't par a few holes. The course was in reasonable shape considering there is limited staff due to the coronas virus. I enjoyed the play and will return in the near future to play again.
