Squaw Valley Golf Club

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.
