North Texas Real Estate Blog

Be sure to bring your clubs when you come property hunting in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.  With over a hundred public, daily fee, and private tracks within a 100-mile radius, buyers can squeeze in a few holes near any of the North Texas real estate options any price and style range.  Our area around Southlake, Keller, Grapevine, and Colleyville neighborhoods features some extraordinarily beautiful courses near the lakes.  There are so many courses to try out, awesome settings to catch your eye, and North Texas country clubs to check out.

Not too far away, practice facilities await your warm-up strokes.  The Golden Bear Golf Center in Carrollton is the top-rate teaching and practice facility in the area as recognized by Avid golfer Magazine.  In Lewisville, the Hank Haney Golf facility offers instruction and a quick nine holes.  Scoot over to Richardson for the Practice Tee or to Forth Worth to the Leonard Golf Center for great practice and primo instruction.

For public golf, Carrollton’s two 18-hole courses are a “thumbs up.”  Lewisville’s Lake Park Golf Course, Plano’s Pecan Hollow, Richardson’s Sherrill Park, and Arlington’s Chester A. Ditto Municipal are wonderful starters.  Golfers find daily specials and discounts at many Fort Worth courses and reasonable prices all of the time.  Some are less formal, although others hold to country club standards.

Golfers wanting a flexible lifestyle enjoy skipping around DFW to over 30 daily fee courses.  Without sacrificing service, these fine daily fee tracks offer fair but lengthy and challenging options.  Grapevine’s Cowboys Golf Club is the only NFL-themed course in the United States.  The Fossil Creek Golf Club in Fort Worth is away from the hustle and bustle.  The Tribute features replica holes from Scotland; Tour 18 in Flower Mound features replica holes from all over the nation.  The word from our golfer friends is that the daily fee courses call them back repeatedly.

Some of the finest and most opulent private golf courses in the country grace the DFW area.  From Gleneagles Country Club in Plano to the cornerstone Dallas National Golf Club, the private golf communities combine history and tradition with each of their own unique qualities.  Besides beautiful and challenging golf courses, the country club communities lend a sense of belonging and camaraderie to life in a large Metroplex. 

The golf courses throughout the region add natural environments to suburban living.  For information about homes in country clubs or near golf courses, contact Dave Warden at (817) 706-3291.
