Few private clubs in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex carry the mystique of Vaquero Club. Opened in 2001 and designed by Tom Fazio, it was conceived from the outset as one of the region's premier ultra-private retreats — a place where exclusivity and design ambition were baked in together. Fazio shaped the rolling terrain of Westlake into a course that feels simultaneously expansive and intimate, with generous fairways giving way to subtly contoured greens that reward patience and course management over raw power.
Westlake sits in the mid-cities corridor between Fort Worth and Dallas, a prosperous enclave where the land opens up into limestone-laced terrain and live oak canopy typical of the Cross Timbers ecological region. The summers run long and demanding, and the Bermuda turf reflects that — firm, fast, and unforgiving when the Texas heat sets in.
Vaquero operates with the kind of quiet intensity that defines true members' clubs: no resort traffic, no daily-fee tee times, and a culture built entirely around the members themselves. For those who play it, the experience tends to be memorable well beyond the scorecard.
