About Us:

Freestone is a premier luxury lake and golf community, encompassing the largest privately owned lake in the United States. Set upon 5,000 acres of open water and rolling hills, Freestone provides an unparalleled generational retreat for family and friends in the heart of Texas.

Located 90 minutes south of Dallas, Freestone offers breathtaking waterfront golf at a championship level golf, exclusive boating experiences, and an array of activities and amenities befitting a world-class resort. The entirety of the 2,400-acre lake, with 30 miles of pristine shoreline, is privately held within the gates of Freestone Club. The serene environment offers members a peaceful respite from city life, just down the highway.

At Freestone, the focus is on maintaining a high-quality experience for members, with intentionally limited membership capacity to ensure enjoyment of uncrowded waters, even on weekends and holidays. Members are invited to ski, surf, wakeboard, fish, sail, and paddle to their heart's content.

With 20+ million people living within a 150-mile radius, Freestone is centrally located in the heart of Texas. The nearby town of Fairfield, Texas, adds to the charm, offering the historic feel of the hill country while providing all the modern services.

About the Golf Courses:

The Short Course: This 10-hole course, located on "The Point," features template-style greens with stunning lake views from every hole. It is perfect for all ages, families, and skill levels to enjoy a fun time together.

The Championship Course: Situated on a 150-acre island, this 18-hole course designed by Beau Welling, Tiger Woods' architect of record, offers a challenging yet playable experience. Accessible by a five-minute boat ride, the course provides breathtaking water views from all holes without the water being in play. The island is dedicated entirely to golf, with comfort stations and the Turn House patio grill as the only structures. Golfers can enjoy a unique experience, playing up and down the island, across canals, and along the shoreline. The design emphasizes challenging play for scratch golfers while maintaining playability from the forward tees. A water taxi to the first tee or a surf boat to the Turn House for lunch and the back nine adds to the unique charm.
