Fort Worth, Texas
Mira Vista blends striking elevation changes, reshaped greens, and bold shot values into a memorable private-club experience. Strategic play is richly rewarded, and panoramic Fort Worth views are always in sight. If you get an invite, bring your A-game—and your camera.
Pause atop Hole 11’s tee for one of the most dramatic skyline views in Fort Worth—locals consider it the best panorama on the property.
Mira Vista is routed across undulating former ranchland, making shrewd use of elevation swings and dramatic skyline vistas to frame each shot. Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish’s original vision emphasized risk-reward scenarios and demanding approach angles, while Andy Staples’ recent renovation modernized the course with new green complexes, expansive fairways, and creative bunkering. Tee shots often force golfers to weigh bold carries versus prudent play, and the greens reward savvy spin management and strategic misses. Conditioning is now first-rate thanks to new grass, irrigation, and open sightlines, making every round a dynamic encounter with the land.
Weiskopf & Morrish created a dramatic test, but Andy Staples’ renovation refined the details—delivering a strategic playground with a new sense of openness and flow.
The 666-yard sixth is the ultimate three-shotter, winding along the course's bluff with sweeping views. Its length, positioning, and wind exposure demand control at every step.
A true par 5 where laying up short of trouble is often wise, setting up a long iron or fairway wood into a multi-tiered green.
Miss left off the tee or over-cook the approach, and native grasses and deep bunkers await to punish any mistake.
