Woodhaven Country Club Estates Homeowners Shocked By Style Network’s Big Rich Texas
Style Network’s absurd notion that Woodhaven Country Club in Fort Worth is the hotspot for Dallas socialites has Texans shaking their heads. But this morning I heard from a woman who lives in Woodhaven Country Club Estates and she said neighbors are laughing more than outsiders.
I read your story about the show Big Rich Texas. I don’t belong to the club but I’ve lived about a half mile from it for over 25 years. When the show came on I looked on the internet because I didn’t believe this was filmed down the street. I called my friend that is a member and she wasn’t watching the show so I told her to turn it on and she didn’t think they were talking about our Woodhaven either. When I convinced her we had a good long laugh. It’s not a bad place at all but even the people that belong there don’t think of it as a glamorous place. My friend said she’s going to get boa feathers and fancy shoes to sit by the pool.
Another reader, a Park Cities resident, said her parents belong to Woodhaven Country Club and while it’s a comfortable place for them to visit with friends in their neighborhood, they could not imagine why anyone from Dallas would travel for the facilities.
Anyway, if you liked the banquet hall where the episode 1 fight went down, the venue is open to non-member events like weddings.

Merritt – this show has served a purpose if only to give you great fodder for your spot-on writing!
Keep it up!
Regarding the show? HILARIOUS.
In years past, it was THE CLUB to be a member of, and the area of Ft. Worth to live in..
All of the current members, and home owners of Woodhaven Country Club, find this show extremely offensive. We have fought long and hard to try and get rid of the apartments, which we have done. We have a few more battles to fight to get rid of the rest of the lower income housing, but we are progressing, and those that live there are from the old money, Ft. Worth region, and not the new money people from the Dallas area..
It was at one time the MOST prestigious country clubs in the entire area, and I firmly believe, with time, we can bring it back to where it was years ago…
We are people of integrity and honor, and will fight till the end to accomplish our goals..
I challenge anybody from any of the more prestigious clubs to come out and play the course. It is, without a doubt, the most beautiful and challenging course that I have played in the entire metroplex…
I would not want any of the women that they portray in this show to be any part of our membership. NOT one of them have a clue about how to play golf, bored women with nothing going on in their life.
It was an embarrassment to have them at our club,representing Woodhaven… Trash talk, the entire time with our members,etc… NOW we are talking white trash, with their daughters having a tatoo on her foot, SLUT????
Please cancel this show, it is all falsified, there are rarely any scenes shot from Woodhaven, and the director of this should actually be sued, to portray this as women and daughers at WOODHAVEN….
respectfully a member at Woodhave Country Club,
annonymous
That was one of the most appalling responses I have had the misfortune to read. You proudly declare that you progressing in your fight to rid people of the very basic necessity of ….shelter. I can see why you signed off as (respectfully.. insert eye roll here)anonymous. I too would be ashamed to attach my name to such a self serving, uncaring and malicious post. Then again, I would never have written any thing so pompous and selfish.
In any case either way.. I do wish that these girls would display some level of higher intelligence. I get they need to get the ratings but come on The hunting is ridiculous I am sorry but you would never catch myself or any of my girlfriends hunting anything except the latest dress from our choice design houses’ I am a vegetarian. I am not snooty I am offended as for the lady that thinks We have to much time on our hands as we say here In Texas ” Yep Sure Do”.. lucky me I have time to comment on what is in my opinion a stage for entertainment .Actually the only truly wealthy woman on this show is Pam and Bonnie whom by the way are fast buddies in the real dallas scene and while we are all throwing in our two cents Pam is laughing all the way to Th The Big Rich Bank …
2. True “Rich people” don’t mention they have money. They’re too busy having a Wealth Manager oversee how their money is spent and working hard for it.
3. A true lady handles herself with class and dignity, no matter how much money they have.
4. I haven’t seen any Berkins being carried by these rich women.
5. Most private country clubs wouldn’t permit filming, this one must have needed the money.
6. Most Dallas women are too busy to be in front of a camera acting like fools.
7. Oakmont Country Club has one of the best golf courses around, it’s in Oakmont, PA. outside of Pittsburgh, in case you didn’t know.
of Ft. Worth in a not so good part of twon.
I absolutely love this show! I think it’s better than Bravo’s, I really do. Now just one thing, the last show wasn’t like the others, something has changed and I hope they go back to the way they were doing it. Is there a new director??? I looked so forward to seeing this again!
Although I’ve never had friends like Bonnie and whitney I’ve found them to be so real and likable. (sp?)
And who wouldn’t like Bonnie for a friend? I think she really must be a loyal, loving person. And that’s something very hard to find these days.
1. To Nancy- I’m not a fan of tattoos, either. However, I don’t think someone is a “slut” because they have one.
2. To the self-claimed “socialite” in Dallas- Since you admit to having extra time on your hands, use it to brush up on your grammar, punctuation and cultural awareness. The word, “myself,” should never be used when the word, “me,” can be used. Also, periods, commas and spelling are essential in expressing a clear point. Also, Dallas isn’t the only city with several levels of class. Even a town of 1,000 has “socialites,” laziness and ignorance.
3. To the lady looking for an Hermes bag to prove financial status- Ummm, some of the wealthiest people in the world don’t own expensive bags, autos, clothes or homes. They didn’t become wealthy by wasting money on status symbols.
4. Big Rich Dallas is just a show for entertainment purposes. If it annoys you, you don’t have to watch it.
5. No matter how beautiful, social, wealthy, trashy, ugly, poor, popular, intelligent or ignorant you feel someone is, there is always someone who achieves it on a higher or lower level. Ignorance is not just being oblivious to the better options in life, it’s also being oblivious to the worse options.
My daughter and I enjoy watching every week regardless of whether it’s real or not or whether the club is in Dallas or Ft. Worth, none the less, it’s entertaining. I’d love to meet the cast, I think they’re all great!
Terrible show, fake premise, ludicrous that people watch, low end country club. Boring.I want my 10 minutes back.
Fans of reality TV are stooges. This is a perfect example of pure fiction dished up to these idiots. Enjoy!
I was though delighted to read a comment above that states that Bonnke and Pam are friends in real life as I felt I was picking up on that bogus storyline. Their hating relationship seemed TOOOOOO ridiculous to be true so I figured they’re mates and ramping it up.
As for the types of characters portrayed in these shows, in the UK we mostly feel sorry for them as they seem so shallow. There’s more to life than money and handbags at dawn. But I guess they have to be content to know that and the scripted females are not content. Although Bonnie is which is why her character is more popular.
I wish we had a real glimpse into their lives, not the scripted version but then I doubt that’d be as much fun.
