Hank Haney Golf Ranch at Vista Ridge

The Hank Haney Golf Ranch at Vista Ridge in Lewisville, Texas, represents a collaboration between noted instructor Hank Haney and architect Jim Fazio. Located in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, the facility reflects Haney's teaching philosophy translated into course design, with an emphasis on shot-making variety and strategic options that mirror the challenges students encounter in instruction. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of north Texas, where elevation changes and native grasses frame the playing corridors. The design incorporates features intended to reward proper shot execution while providing recovery options for developing players. Fazio's routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours, creating holes that require thoughtful club selection and course management. Water features and bunker complexes appear throughout the layout, positioned to test specific aspects of the game that align with Haney's instructional approach. The facility operates primarily as a teaching center and practice venue, with the course serving as a laboratory for students working on their games. The Ranch includes extensive practice areas and instructional facilities that complement the golf course itself. This integration of teaching infrastructure with playable holes distinguishes the property from traditional daily-fee layouts in the region, creating an environment where instruction and on-course application connect directly.
