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 SHAPE!
I'm 48 and I've played off and on here since my early 20s. There was a period where the course wasn't in great shape. That's no longer the case. The greens were outstanding. The fairways were great. The only reason I give 4 stars is because there are still a few spots where the ground very hard, but that's why I should stay in the fairway. 🤣🤣🤣 It was a windy day, but I chose Country View because the tree lines diminish a lot of the impact from the wind. I will be back, hopefully more frequently.
Country View Lancaster, TX
this course is quite challenging. All the Tee Boxes and Green are elevated. This made chipping onto the Green a bit difficult, if you were short the ball was rolling downhill.
The Greens were is very good condition. The fairways were in fairly good condition, and you needed an extra club length, if you were in the rough because it was rather thick.
All in all, we enjoyed playing it, b/c it was new to me. It was a little cold and windy to start, but weather got a little better as the day progressed.
Hidden Gem A very fun course to play
Very fun course to play, but you need to bring you A game!
Fun, Interesting Layout
For a city run muni, Country View a very good layout. First hole is a nice easy par 4 - then things get tougher.
Quite a few elevated greens along with a little water, and a creek on #7 make for a challenging 9.
Elevated greens on 10 - 11 mean hitting the ball high in the air and land softly. #12 presents an interesting decision with the tree between the tee and green.
15 takes a very accurate shot into the green.
#17 takes a high tee shot over the trees to reach the middle of the fairway, and accuate shot into the green to avoid the water.
A wide variety of golf holes that will use every club in the bag.
Fast greens and challenging layout. However...
.I felt that over value was good for the course bit one thing stood out was the extreme high mound greens on aost every hole. I get it u need them for it location and topography, but some were 10-20ft in air. Have to make sure balls stay on green or they roll all way down. Chipping difficult due to not a lot of flat area to chip from. Other than that, had fun and will come back again.
Challenging course
This course, although not long at all, is quite difficult and requires a bit of thought and precise shots to shoot an acceptable score.
My first time playing so had to learn the hard way about the hazards and yardages to avoid them.
17 the #1 handicap is a bit over the top for difficulty and i think would leave most golfers frustrated.
Greens were fantastic and fast fairways and T box’s were good
Great first time experience!
Had a great time for my fist time playing here! Definitely a course you need to play more than once to get an understanding of how to play the layout. Shorter course, so able to work on your iron play and short game.
Fun layout
Super fun layout with hard elevated greens. Lord of spots of with hard patches
Good Deal, Would Play Again
Would definitely recommend an earlier tee time right now with the heat. We started a little after 7 and the last few holes were miserable around 11. Course is in pretty good condition considering the drought. The course being in a flood plain was interesting with elevated tee boxes and greens. The no sand bunkers was nice too.
