Country View Golf Club


About this course
Country View Golf Club sits in Lancaster, a southern suburb of Dallas, and was designed by Ron Garl, a Florida-based architect known for his work across the southeastern and southwestern United States from the 1970s onward. Garl's designs typically emphasize strategic bunkering, water hazards, and playability for a range of skill levels, and Country View reflects this approach within the relatively flat terrain common to the North Texas region. The course occupies land characteristic of the Dallas area—gently rolling with scattered mature trees and open fairways that allow the wind to influence play. Water features appear on several holes, adding both visual definition and strategic challenge to approach shots and layup decisions. The layout is designed to accommodate daily-fee and public play, with wide enough corridors to keep pace manageable while still rewarding accuracy and course management. Lancaster's proximity to Dallas means the course serves both local residents and visitors exploring golf options in the southern metro area. The climate allows for year-round play, with bermudagrass fairways and greens typical of the region. Country View functions as a straightforward, accessible layout where players can expect a honest test of golf shaped by Garl's emphasis on risk-reward decisions and clear visual lines from tee to green.

Getting there
The journey to Country View Golf Club begins at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), one of the nation's busiest hubs, just thirty minutes northwest of the course. Dallas Love Field (DAL) offers an alternative gateway for domestic arrivals, positioned slightly closer to the city's southern edge. From either airport, the drive traces the urban sprawl of southern Dallas County before easing into Lancaster's quieter residential corridors, where Country View's tree-lined fairways emerge as a welcome retreat from the metroplex's relentless pace - a hidden pocket of green just beyond the city limits.
