A ‘Bubble’ for New Money
Vaquero Club is a hybrid of a golf course, country club, and a swanky gated neighborhood, Vaquero is utterly self-contained, priced over the years to serve PGA tour champs, football greats such as Terry Bradshaw, and captains of industry like Matthew Rose, executive chairman of BNSF Railway. Here, every necessity or whim is catered to. Many of the community’s children go to school just up the road at Westlake Academy, a top-rated charter school. All conceivable requests are handled by a concierge service. They range from dry-cleaning pickup and delivery, meals, and a car wash to a ride to your child’s soccer practice or to DFW Airport (if you’re not taking your private jet, of course). Privacy and discretion are what the 350 owner-members here pay dearly for. At one time, the price for a golf membership at the Vaquero Club started at $60,000; these days an equity membership goes for $195,000, plus nearly $17,000 in yearly dues. That gets you a driving range long enough to hit inward from both ends; a lake stocked with bass, bluegill, and catfish; and a 33,000-square-foot clubhouse with a full spa and dining room. With homes priced in the seven figures at least, this is, without doubt, the richest enclave within what Forbes in 2011 deemed the most affluent neighborhood in the United States. But, members contend, Vaquero isn’t the WASP-y monoculture found in Dallas’ oldest and most venerated clubs. Vaquero wealth—Westlake wealth—by and large is new money. “Moving out here from the Park Cities area in Dallas, I never would have guessed that moving to Vaquero would provide more balance,” says Westlake Mayor Laura Wheat. “We are diverse. We are different ethnicities, different religions. The common denominator is that people have created their wealth themselves and come from all walks of life.”
