Opened for play in the Spring of 2000, The Tribute at The Colony pays homage to great Scottish courses with an 18-hole layout inspired by some of Scotland's most famous holes and designed by golf architect Tripp Davis. Some of the many awards received are:
The Tribute was listed in America’s 100 Greatest Public courses according to Gold Digest Magazine 2007/2008. It was rated Best Places to Play, Four Star Rating in the Gold Digest Magazine 2006/2007. It was also rated America’s Top Golf Courses in the Zagat Survey 2006/2007 and was raned #1 Daily Fee Golf Course in the DFW Area according to the Dallas Morning News in 2006.
The Tribute at The Colony has its own version of St. Andrews' two finishing holes, including the famous Road Hole complete with a stone wall running the length of the hole's right side. St. Andrews; Nos.1 and 18 spreads out in one vast fairway just behind the clubhouse, and there are also "tributes" to Royal Troon's Postage Stamp, North Berwich's Redan and Turnberry's Wee Burn.
The Old American Golf Club – designed by Tripp Davis and PGA TOUR/Ryder Cup star Justin Leonard is also located at The Tribute Resort Community at The Colony. The Old American is slated for soft opening this spring and has already drawn acclaim from Golfweek, LINKS Magazine, USA Today, PGATOUR.com, the Dallas Morning News and Avid Golfer Magazine. Inspired by the ‘Golden Age’ of golf course architecture between 1911 and 1937, Old American’s natural contours, hazard styles, native grasses and green shapes were influenced by such masterpieces as Shinnecock Hills, National Golf Links, Prairie Dunes and Crystal Downs.
Davis, an accomplished amateur player and former All-American at the University of Oklahoma and Leonard, who played his college golf at the University of Texas, toured and played a handful of America’s classic Golden Age golf courses prior to starting the design process for Old American.
Stewart
Peninsula Golf Course is also located on the lake. It even has a boat dock, the only course to offer such an amenity. This course, also designed by Tripp Davis, features nine holes laid out on approximately 88 acres. Although designed with a nine-hole layout, this course has two greens and two sets of tees at each hole which suddenly doubles the course length. Offering a beautiful lake view from every hole, this design makes Stewart Penninsula only one of three courses nationwide with such a layout.
With 23 miles of shoreline on beautiful Lewisville Lake, it's no wonder that we call ourselves "The City By The Lake." We have 23 municipal parks as well as Hidden Cove Park, a 750-acre municipally-owned park on the shore of Lewisville Lake.
