Things to Do in The Colony on Lewisville Lake

Golf at The Tribute

The Golf Clubs at The Tribute operates two 18-hole golf courses on the peninsula -- the original Tribute Course and the Links Course -- both designed in the Scottish links tradition with dramatic lake views throughout. The courses are consistently ranked among the best public-access courses in North Texas. Tee times are available to the public at market rates, and membership packages are available for residents who play regularly. For buyers who play golf and want that activity integrated into their daily environment, The Tribute's course quality and setting are difficult to match anywhere in the DFW lake market.

Stewart Creek Park and Lake Access

Stewart Creek Park, operated by the Corps of Engineers at the tip of Stewart Peninsula, provides public boat ramp access, picnic facilities, and shoreline access for south shore residents without private boathouse access. The park's boat ramp is one of the primary launch points for boaters targeting the main south lake body and is less congested than the north shore ramps during peak summer weekends. Trails through the park provide pedestrian lake access that complements the more developed Grandscape entertainment experience nearby.

Grandscape Entertainment

Grandscape in The Colony is the most substantial entertainment complex accessible from any Lewisville Lake community. The 400-acre development anchors include TopGolf (a multi-level golf entertainment venue with 102 hitting bays), Alamo Drafthouse Cinema (dine-in theater with curated programming), the National Soccer Hall of Fame (interactive exhibits and historical displays), and a growing retail and entertainment tenant mix. For Colony residents, Grandscape is a 10 to 15-minute drive that provides genuine date-night, family night, and weekend activity options that most lake communities require a 30 to 45-minute city trip to access.

National Soccer Hall of Fame

The National Soccer Hall of Fame opened at Grandscape in 2018 and has become a destination for soccer fans from across the country. Interactive exhibits, historical artifacts, and programming tied to the US Soccer Federation make it a uniquely substantive museum in a suburban context. For families with soccer-playing children -- a large cohort in the DFW suburbs -- the Hall of Fame proximity is a meaningful quality-of-life amenity in The Colony's favor.

Lake Recreation from the South Shore

For south shore residents, the main body of Lewisville Lake is directly accessible by boat from Stewart Creek Park's ramp or from private boathouse properties along the Colony shoreline. The south shore launch puts boaters into the widest part of the main lake body, with clean open water toward the north shore and the Elm Fork arm. Wake surfing, fishing, and pleasure cruising are all accessible from the south shore without navigating through shallower coves. The Colony's lake position is one of the most favorable on the entire lake for boat-oriented recreation -- deep water, open exposure, and good access to the north shore activities including Party Cove and The Lakefront at Little Elm by boat.

Parks and Trails

The Colony maintains community parks and trail systems separate from the Corps-managed shoreline. The Colony Community Park provides athletic fields, playgrounds, and community gathering space. The city has invested in connecting green spaces that allow residents to move between neighborhoods and toward the lake without exclusively relying on vehicle travel. Combine the city park system with Stewart Peninsula's Corps shoreline access and The Tribute's internal trail network, and Colony residents have meaningful active outdoor options without leaving the immediate area.
