About the Club
Located in Fort Worth, Texas, Mira Vista Country Club (the “Club”) is a member-owned, full-service private club known for its welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere and year-round commitment to excellence. In October 2024, Mira Vista Country Club launched a $20 million golf course renovation led by renowned golf course architect Andy Staples. The comprehensive project includes all-new greens, tees, reshaped fairways, regrassing of all impacted areas and complete replacement of irrigation and drainage infrastructure. The course is scheduled to reopen in October 2025. This significant investment reflects the Board’s commitment to enhancing the member and guest experience by continually elevating the Club’s amenities, services, programming, and overall offerings. Additional golf amenities include a club-owned golf shop and an eight-acre two-sided driving range with short game facilities.

Mira Vista also offers an array of premier country club amenities and exceptional service across all areas of operation that include a 44,000 square foot clubhouse, six outdoor and two indoor tennis courts, six outdoor pickleball courts, updated men’s and women’s fitness centers, a resort-style swimming pool, youth summer camps, and a robust calendar of social events and activities. Members also enjoy banquet and catering services, along with a variety of full-service dining options tailored to both casual and formal occasions.

The Club’s origins date back to 1985, when the Mira Vista development group acquired 625 acres of ranch land in west Fort Worth. With a vision to create an exclusive golf course community, developer Jeffy L. Thomas broke ground in 1987. The area’s breathtaking terrain and panoramic views inspired the name “Mira Vista,” Spanish for “See the View,” which perfectly captures the club’s scenic beauty and identity.

On August 22, 1987, Mira Vista Country Club officially opened, becoming Fort Worth’s first new country club in 15 years. What began with just 84 Charter Members has grown steadily to over 822 memberships with 560 golfing members. In 2008, the Club transitioned to a member-owned model, further strengthening its community and commitment to excellence.

The Club’s Mission is to “Create exceptional memories that last a lifetime.”

The Club’s Vision is to “Make each and every experience for our members, their families and their guests, a fun and memorable event.”

The Club is open year-round. The golf course is open Tuesday to Sunday from 7:30am to dark during daylight saving and opens at 8:00am during the winter.
