Vaquero at Vaquero Club

Vaquero is North Texas's answer to Augusta, where membership is intensely private, deeply Texan, and the meticulously manicured grounds provide a sanctuary from the Dallas-Fort Worth sprawl. This modern course, sculpted from rolling prairie, is a testament to strategic play over sheer length. Expect demanding approaches into subtly contoured greens, where wind—a constant companion on the open landscape—adds a layer of complexity.

Tom Fazio originally conceived Vaquero’s layout, and his son, Logan Fazio, completed renovations in 2023. The course has quickly become a favored haunt for a membership that includes sports luminaries and Texas business titans. It's a place where deals are discussed on the fairways, and the roar of private jets taking off from nearby regional airport becomes almost background music.

While Vaquero hasn't hosted major professional events, its prestige rests on its exclusivity and the unwavering commitment of its members. The club thrives on understated elegance, from the impeccable conditioning of its bentgrass greens to the hushed reverence within its clubhouse walls. Here, golf is more than a game; it's a lifestyle, punctuated by the clinking of crystal glasses, the aroma of aged bourbon, and the satisfaction of a well-earned par.
