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.

Challenging greens!
I’m a 10 handicap and I thought this course was very challenging. All the greens are elevated so if you aren’t on, you have an uphill flop shot to get on. The conditions of the greens we very great. Receptive but very fast! I’ve never had so many 4 putts and 3 putts ever. It was a bit discouraging by the end. If you can hit the ball long you can easily reach the par 5 in 2. But with the pin locations and green speed, I struggled to make pars. Overall the course is in great shape and the wholes make you really think about shot selection. If you struggle with chipping, I might reconsider this course.
Poor design
Every green and tee box is elevated to the point of being unnecessarily high. Course is also very short and only has a handful of Driver holes. Gimmicky course in my opinion. Greens and Fairways were in good shape though.
Course in excellent condition
The greens are fast and green. Fairways are good and tee boxes solid
Great value and challenge
Country view has always been a challenge with the elevated greens. Inaccurate approach shots are rejected and can make for a long day. Greens were rolling fast and fair. They looked very good would hold a good shot, but you are going to mostly get forward kicks here. I don't think anyone in our group backed up a shot all day (maybe once into an upslope). Tee boxes were not great. Grass issues are not a big deal when you are teeing off, but many tee boxes were difficult to find a spot that didn't put the ball above or below your feet or have a foot in a low spot. Fairways were mostly in good shape.
Second review
Wasn’t going to give this place another shot. But I’d have to say, hot deal was a good value and was pleasantly shocked on how well the course was.. the greens could be a bit faster but due to the rain and mid week probably wasn’t mowed recently, it still rolled true. It’s not my fav course to play but it definitely wasn’t bad at all. Great job country view. I’ll be back soon.
Very nice greens.
Best greens of any of the city courses. Difficult to save par if you miss the green as many are elevated making the chipping a challenge.
The criticism would be the tees and fairways. Not very manicured.
Overall a fun track that will provide a challenge.
I’ll be back…
Neat lay out, sneaky challenging. Greens are tricky, stay below the flags. Could use some time and TLC to address bare spots and grass in fairways but it doesn’t take away from your round. Weird adjustment having no bunkers on course.
Difficult course
Course conditions are good, but it’s pretty tough in a bit of a frustrating way. Nearly every green is steeply elevated which makes them very unforgiving in a not super fun way.
Course
Nice course, staff is very friendly, going to play here more often!
Great course
This course is a great bang for your buck. It’s in a great condition, especially for a public course. There are a few rough parts on the fairway so I would recommend enforcing a 90° rule for carts. Don’t let the shorter overall distance fool you. Playing from the tips will still be a challenge thanks to a strategic layout and water on most holes.
