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.

Great time
Course was in great shape. Fairways were perfect and greens were great.
Greens are fast
I always enjoy playing at this course. I like the course layout and the elevated greens There are no gimmie putts on these greens. You can miss a few 1 footers on these greens if you're not careful. I always play during the week so the pace of play is always good.
Thanks for the review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the course layout here at Country View Golf Club. We hope to see you back again soon.
What a great course!!
This course is always in great shape, the staff is friendly and accommodating. What I like the most is the fact that is secluded, so you don't have to play by people's backyard listening to screaming kids. No traffic. Very relaxing and beautiful. The clubhouse have the BEST hamburgers in the world and the beer is always COLD!
We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed our course and the staff here at Country View Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon!
For The Love of The Game
In a sense it is good for beginners due to the ease of the course. There are no real challenges other then a few spots with water and that's not much. They are in need of a major overhaul, in the areas of the club house and more so the course. Throughout the course there are over grown weed patches along with drainage tubing running throughout the course. Also on a personal note in my opinion the over sight of the needed maintenance and course care is due to laziness cause its an issue that is to easy to fix.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we are constantly trying to improve the conditions of our course.

Course Review
Had a good round at the course. Should have had a lower score, but that's on me.
Thanks
Thank you for your review! Glad to hear you had a good round.
Spring tune-up
Nice course located south of Dallas. Green's, fairways were in excellent condition for early in April. The tee boxes need a little work but I enjoyed the round of golf and would return.
Some of the holes could use a yardage to trouble for example 2, which would help with club selection and probably speed of play. Have a skycaddie but the advanced features were not available.
Thanks for the review and feedback about your time at the course! Great tips for future golfers as well.
Piece of trash course
Played this course for the first time and I will never be back. Let's start with the tee boxes. Absolutely horrible, trash and tees everywhere. Tee boxes had drainage ruts running through them. Ground so hard you could barley get a tee in them. Fairways were so bad you could barely hit off them. Greens were ok. Range was a joke. I have better trash balls than their range balls. I would be embarrassed if I owned this piece of trash of course. Do not waste your money, no matter how little you pay to play here.
Thank you for your feedback about the course. We are working on improving the conditions of the course.
Tough Course, unfair course
Grass is so dry, your ball won't stop rolling till it hits trouble...
I hit a ball 400 yds today to a par 4 it was so hard (rolled 125yds)
One teebox I couldn't even get my tee in the ground.
Every green is elevated which made this one of the hardest golf days of my life.
...I'm from FL, not sure if it's just dallas winter or this course.
Thank you for your feeback. We're sorry you didn't fully enjoy your day and appreciate you bearing with us in the dry part of winter. We hope you'll visit again soon next time your in town and let us provide a 100% satisfying experience!
Just ok
Booked groups too close together, it was a hurry up and wait type of course. Yardage was off most of the time and very hard to determine fairway to rough. Not worth the money in my opinion.
We're sorry to hear about your time at the course, please email me directly at natalieteetimes@gmail.com.
Mud Pit
Truth be told, they probably shouldn't have been open. I don't know if it was as a result of the spring rains, Thanksgiving rains, or just the past weekend rains but it was a mud pit! I was told #2 was closed because the bridge was out and that I was to proceed to #3...I never did find #3 (poor signage) after doing some off-roading and just proceeded to #4. Some holes were playable but the majority had standing water/mud. I was glad to finish and head home (after cleaning my clubs and shoes!).
We're sorry to hear about your experience at the course, we have been hit with a ton of rain. We hope you come back again on a dryer day!
So Much Potential - A Private Course Layout for Muni $
This course looks like it was designed to be a private club... but there is major work to be done to get it to look like that again. The greens are well maintained. Tee boxes have many undulations - and the fairways are tough to distinguish. Overall - the layout is well done - only a few funky holes - otherwise a good test played from the black. Making par on 17 is an excellent challenge. For the price - it is a home run. I can;t imagine they have enough play to make the major changes needed - but if you want a good test and don't mind some major blemishes on the tees and in some fairways and greens that are well maintained... this place is for you!
Thanks for the excellent 4 star review! We're so glad you enjoyed the course and hope to see you back again soon!
Country View is a fun course.
Enjoy playing the course. The leaves on the fairways make it difficult to track your balls. Lost 4 ball because of leaves and not wanting to slow down the teams behind me while looking for my balls.
Hi there and thanks for the review! At this time of the year it is often hard to control the leaves. We hope you come back again!
Golf course great for the money.
I booked this course at the last minute due to son driving up to visit. This course was in excellent condition including the putting greens. We will come back again to play with friends.
We're so glad you drove out to give us a try! Thanks for the nice review and we hope to see you again soon.
Always a good round
Course is still in good shape. Greens were a bit slower than usual but it had rained a lot the night before. Always in good shape and friendly staff everywhere
Thanks for the 4 star review! We're glad you enjoyed your round and hope to see you again soon!
Challenging greens
Good course great price but the kitchen is closed on Tuesday ...
Thanks for the review! Hope to see you back again soon.
Review
This is a well kept course. It has nice doglegs where accuracy is so important. The fairways are lined on one side and water on the other. I love the challenge the course poses.
Thank you for the nice review! We're so glad you enjoyed your round and time at the course. We hope to see you back again soon!
Rough around the edges
This little muni track is for anyone who likes short courses with elevated greens. Not my cup of tea. The maintenance was shabby with tee boxes riddled with debris and had a scorched earth look. I know it hasn't rained in 2 months, but the tee boxes should be in the same shape as the greens, which rolled well with the new Bermuda grass but we're woolly.
Thank you for your review and feedback about the course!
FUN course for value
Played with my dad and we had a good time. GREENS had been recently sanded so they were fairly slow. Some of the tee boxes were rock sokid, made very difficult to place tees for driving. But this vourse was close to home and in decent condition, made for a fun day.
Thanks for the review! We hope to see you again soon.
Great Value and Fun Course.
I hadn't played Country View in several years and I'm not sure why it fell off my play list.
We received a friendly greeting when checking in followed by you guys can load up and take off when your ready.
The cost to play was very reasonable specially if booked on line.
The carts are clean and well maintained.
We were amazed that there were very few players on the course.
We were very pleased with the course, great shape from tee box to green.
I will definitely play Country View again in the near future.
Thank you for the 5 star review! We're so glad you enjoyed the course, the rates, and overall experience. We hope to see you again soon!
