Oeste Ranch Golf Course

Oeste Ranch Golf Course sits in Weatherford, Texas, roughly thirty miles west of Fort Worth in the rolling terrain of Parker County. Designed by Steve Mrak and opened in the early 2000s, the course occupies land that reflects the transitional landscape between the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and the more open ranch country of north-central Texas. The property features native grasses, scattered mesquite and oak trees, and the kind of elevation change typical of the region's limestone-based topography. Mrak's routing takes advantage of the natural contours, incorporating ridgelines and draws into the playing corridors. The design emphasizes strategic options rather than forced carries, with fairways that reward positioning and greens that require thoughtful approach work. Several holes play across or along drainage corridors, and the exposed higher ground can make club selection challenging when the wind picks up, a common occurrence in this part of Texas. Oeste Ranch serves primarily as a daily-fee facility, drawing golfers from the western suburbs of Fort Worth and the surrounding communities. The course provides a straightforward test that suits a range of skill levels while maintaining enough character to hold the interest of experienced players. Its location in Weatherford places it within the broader network of public-access courses serving the western edge of the Metroplex, offering a setting that feels removed from urban density without requiring extensive travel.
