Diamond Oaks Country Club

What Diamond Oaks Country Club does

Diamond Oaks Country Club is a private, member-owned golf and country club located on a 180-acre tract at 5821 Diamond Oaks Drive North in Fort Worth, Texas, just outside downtown Fort Worth and within reach of the broader Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and DFW International Airport. The club opened in 1961 with an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Charles Akey that plays to par 70 and stretches 6,850 yards from the longest tees, and it has historically hosted USGA qualifying events and exhibition matches involving Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, and Lee Trevino. Facilities include comprehensive practice areas, a renovated clubhouse with the 19th Hole Grill and The Oak restaurant, multiple private event rooms, a Grand Ballroom accommodating up to 250 seated guests, an outdoor Pergola ceremony site, and a fully stocked golf pro shop.

The club operates a membership-based business model centered on five membership categories (Full Golf ages 41-69, Junior Executive Golf ages 22-40, Senior Golf ages 70+, Non-Resident Golf for members 35+ miles away, and Social) that grant access to golf, dining, social events, and member discounts on private events. Revenue is generated through recurring membership dues, golf outings and tournaments, weddings and private events, member dining, and pro shop sales, with go-to-market conducted primarily through direct outreach by the Director of Membership, personal tours by appointment, member referrals, and event-driven discovery. The club's value proposition emphasizes no food and beverage minimums or club assessments, walking welcome, full-service men's and ladies' locker rooms, and themed member events such as Second Sunday Brunch, wine dinners, and spirit dinners.

The club has undergone continuous reinvestment, including a three-phase renovation completed between 2012 and 2014 following a 2011 change to new private ownership, and a post-storm 2021-2022 clubhouse renovation that added bridal and groomsmen suites. The leadership team includes a General Manager/Director of Golf (Scott Shelby, since 2015), a Director of Membership and Marketing (Erica Gattuso, since 2017), a Director of Food, Beverage and Events (Gregg Wideman, since 2005), a Head Golf Professional (Tim Stadler, since 2022), a Golf Course Superintendent (Kyle Lay, since 2016), a Club Accountant (Erica Hart, since 2020), an Executive Assistant (Shawna Garza, since 2018), and an Executive Chef (Roy Velasco, since 2026). The club maintains a digital presence via its website, Facebook, and Instagram, and does not publicly disclose pricing, financial results, or member counts.
