About this course

Comanche Lakes at Squaw Valley Golf Club is a John Colligan design located in Glen Rose, Texas, approximately an hour southwest of Fort Worth in the North Texas Hill Country. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the region, where limestone outcroppings and native vegetation frame the layout. Glen Rose sits along the Paluxy River valley, and the surrounding landscape features the mix of scrub oak, mesquite, and grassland typical of the transition zone between the Edwards Plateau and the Blackland Prairie. Colligan, a Texas-based architect active primarily in the latter decades of the twentieth century, designed courses throughout the state with an emphasis on working within natural landforms. At Comanche Lakes, the routing takes advantage of elevation changes and natural drainage patterns, with water features integrated into the design. The layout presents a variety of hole lengths and strategic options suited to the recreational golfer, with doglegs and elevated greens that require course management in the prevailing Texas winds. The club serves the Glen Rose community and visitors to the area, which is known for Dinosaur Valley State Park and its preserved trackways. The course provides a straightforward test of golf in a setting that reflects the character of rural North Texas, where the land's natural contours and native grasses shape the playing experience.

Getting there

Squaw Valley Golf Club is most readily accessed via Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), situated roughly ninety minutes northwest of the property, or through the smaller Fort Worth Meacham Field (FTW) for private aviation, which cuts the journey to under an hour. From either gateway, the drive southwest traces through the rolling ranch country of north-central Texas, gradually descending into the limestone-studded landscape of Glen Rose and the Brazos River valley. The final miles unfold along quiet county roads that wind through native mesquite and cedar, the terrain shifting from open prairie to the more intimate, oak-dotted terrain that frames Squaw Valley Golf Club's secluded setting. Arrival at the club marks a genuine departure from the bustle of the metroplex - a transition into the quieter, more deliberate pace of Texas Hill Country golf.
