Dallas families, get ready. The social club scene is about to get a major upgrade, and it’s leaving the old-fashioned, stuffy country club model in the dust. A bold new concept is coming to Lake Highlands, specifically designed for modern families who want to socialize, work, and play, without needing a babysitter.

The vision: A club centered on family. Spearheaded by two executives from the renowned co-working company The Common Desk, this new venture is being called the first boutique country club for families, where kids are not just allowed, they’re the main event. But this is more than just a kids’ playhouse; it’s a complete reimagining of the family social hub. The goal is simple: create a vibrant, inclusive space that fits the reality of family life today.

What you’ll find inside. Forget the mandatory golf courses and tennis lessons. This club is built around experiences for all ages. Early plans feature:

• Indoor jungle gyms and creative play spaces to burn off energy.
• Outdoor “adventure gardens” for exploration.
• Arts and crafts studios to spark creativity.
• Modern co-working lounge spaces for parents to be productive.

A full roster of family-friendly programming to keep every member of the family engaged.

The demand is already proving the concept. You’re not the only one excited. The project has already generated massive interest, raising $7 million in funding and amassing over 400 membership applications. This overwhelming response confirms a clear desire in Dallas for a new kind of social destination.

How to get in early. The club is slated to open its doors in early 2027. The founders are emphasizing accessibility, with reasonably priced founding dues and modest initiation fees for founding members. This is a rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a community-focused project that promises to be more about connection than tradition.

What this means for Dallas. This club represents a shift in how we think about community and leisure. It’s a place where parents can connect with peers while their children play safely and creatively nearby.
