This earth dam, primarily designed for recreational purposes, spans 1860 feet in length and reaches a height of 10 feet, providing a serene surface area of 18 acres for water enthusiasts to enjoy. The dam's construction involved the use of rock and soil foundations, with a spillway width of 60 feet to regulate water levels in the dam's reservoir.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Country Club Lake Dam has undergone periodic inspections to ensure its structural integrity. With a fair condition assessment as of June 2015, the dam poses a moderate risk level and is equipped with uncontrolled outlet gates to manage water flow. Despite not having a designated hazard potential, the dam continues to serve as a recreational hub for the community, offering a tranquil escape along the Burton Creek tributary.
