Old American Golf Club is a semi-private, Golfweek Top-200 'residential course' on the Lake Lewisville shoreline in The Colony, designed by Tripp Davis with input from Dallas-born PGA Tour winner Justin Leonard. It shares a website and physical complex ('Golf Clubs at The Tribute') with the separate, confirmed-public Tribute Golf Links, but the two are access-differentiated: Old American offers 'residential golf memberships' including a complimentary 30-day trial for new homeowners, a genuine bundling signal that distinguishes it from its public neighbor, even though this session could not fully verify the exact terms. A 2012 news report placed 'Pure Golf' initiation at $5,000 (individual)/$6,000 (family); no current figure was confirmed.
Golf & Course
Opened in 2010, Old American was designed by architect Tripp Davis in collaboration with Dallas-area PGA Tour winner Justin Leonard, drawing on 'Golden Age' course-architecture influences (natural contours, classic hazard styles, native grasses). It has been ranked Golf Magazine's No. 5 Best Public Golf Course in Texas and among Golfweek's top 200 residential courses nationally.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Old American is semi-private with named membership tiers (including a 'Pure Golf' tier reported at $5,000-$6,000 as of a 2012 news feature, and a financed junior tier) and an explicit 'residential golf membership' offering, including a complimentary 30-day trial period for new homeowners in the area. The precise scope of who qualifies as a 'new homeowner' for this trial, and whether ongoing membership after the trial carries any homeowner-specific pricing, was not confirmed this session.
Living in Old American Golf Club
Old American sits on the Lake Lewisville shoreline in The Colony; this session did not identify a single, specifically named residential development with a confirmed formal bundling relationship to the club (as distinct from the general 'new homeowner' framing in the club's own trial-membership marketing) -- flagged honestly rather than assumed.
Location & Surrounding Area
The Colony sits on Lake Lewisville, Denton County, within this market's North Dallas suburban belt, a short drive from Frisco's PGA Frisco/Fields Ranch development.
