Las Colinas Golf Course Homes

The Two Courses

Both Nelson courses were originally designed in 1982 by Jay Morrish in consultation with Byron Nelson and Ben Crenshaw, and updated in 2008 by D.A. Weibring and Steve Wolfard. Both are managed by Century Golf Partners under the Arnold Palmer Golf Management brand. The TPC Course is the longer, more tournament-shaped of the two — formerly the home of the AT&T Byron Nelson PGA Tour event from 1983 to 2017. The Cottonwood Valley Course favors a member-friendly daily-play rhythm.

For a buyer, this matters because which course a home faces changes the lifestyle: the TPC Course is harder, busier on tournament-ready maintenance schedules, and visually signature; the Cottonwood Valley Course is the day-in-day-out walking course. The team reads both on every showing.

Communities Ranked by Course Adjacency

The Enclave at Windsor Ridge

TPC Course frontage. Custom mansions situated along the TPC Course; the corridor's top-tier address. Guard-gated, low-density.

Cottonwood Valley

Cottonwood Valley Course frontage. Established custom-home community with mature canopy, surrounding the course it shares its name with. Gated, 24-hour security with two guard houses, shares a property line with the Ritz-Carlton Dallas.

The Residences at TPC Las Colinas

TPC Course, 17th and 18th fairway. Single-level new-construction golf villas accessible by elevator. Lock-and-leave luxury on two of the most photographed holes of the corridor's signature course.

Linkside

Golf-cart path to the TPC fairway. Cadence Homes new construction, 75 three-story townhomes; not directly course-fronting, but walkable/cartable and includes a one-year prepaid Nelson Social/Fitness membership with each purchase.

Fairway Vista at Las Colinas

Direct connection to the Nelson driving range. Gated single-family and townhomes built 1998–2005, four-fountain greenbelt, walking distance to the Ritz-Carlton.

The Vue

Inside Cottonwood Valley, course-proximate via the wrapping community. Gated low-maintenance two- and three-story homes completed 2018; not directly course-fronting but located inside a community that surrounds the Cottonwood Valley Course.

What Buyers Evaluate on a Golf-Course Home

• Frontage type — fairway-front, green-front, and tee-box adjacencies behave differently in privacy, foot-traffic, and long-term enjoyment.
• Hole position — the same community can have very different lots depending on which hole each home faces.
• Topography — small differences in elevation and orientation make material differences in livability.
• Course-corridor evolution — clubs renovate. Knowing which holes are scheduled for change affects which lots will retain their character over a 10-year hold.
• Membership posture — except where included by purchase (Linkside), residential ownership does not automatically convey club membership.
• Errant-ball exposure — fairway-front homes near doglegs sit differently than green-side or tee-side homes.

The Assaad Group brings a civil engineering background to every golf-course-home showing — a perspective on lot, structure, and long-term value that no other team in the corridor offers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Las Colinas community has the best golf-course frontage?

There is no single "best" frontage — the right answer depends on which course and which hole. The Enclave at Windsor Ridge offers custom mansions on the TPC Course. Cottonwood Valley surrounds the Cottonwood Valley Course. The Residences at TPC sit on the 17th and 18th fairway. Linkside has a golf-cart path to the TPC Course. Fairway Vista connects directly to the Nelson driving range.

Does buying a golf-course home include club membership?

Generally no. Most communities operate on a private-membership model independent of residential ownership. The exception is Linkside by Cadence Homes, where each townhome purchase includes a one-year prepaid Social and Fitness Membership at the Nelson. Golf and Tennis memberships are separate applications.

What is the difference between fairway-front and course-view?

Fairway-front means the lot directly borders the playing corridor — meaningful for privacy, errant-ball exposure, and how the home opens to the course. Course-view means the home overlooks course features without being on the playing line. Both have value; they price and live differently. The Assaad Group reads each on every showing.

Which communities are on the TPC Course vs. the Cottonwood Valley Course?

TPC Course frontage: the Enclave at Windsor Ridge, The Residences at TPC, and Linkside (cart path). Cottonwood Valley Course frontage: the Cottonwood Valley community surrounds the course; The Vue is located inside Cottonwood Valley.
