Wild Spring Dunes will be a public golf resort with world-class golf, accommodations, and homesites. Two courses are routed with plans established for a short course, practice center, 40 key hotel, rental homes and F&B Outlets.
Set on over 2,400 sandy, secluded acres, here you will find dramatic elevation changes that highlight four distinct and diverse ecosystems: towering pines and hardwood forest, open, grassy meadows, rolling hills, and steep ravines carved by spring-fed creeks that crawl through the secluded site. Wild Spring Dunes is located in East Texas, between Houston and the DFW Metroplex, representing an escape, a destination, a place to come together in community, a home for golf and wilderness lovers alike
Your Role
Your primary responsibility is to help guide and manage the residential development process at Wild Spring Dunes, working closely with our real estate sales team, development team, and resort operations. At Wild Spring Dunes, privately owned homes are an important part of our lodging offering, which means the residential program plays a critical role in both the guest experience and the long-term success of the resort.
This role is more than building homes. It is about helping deliver a great experience for our buyers, ensuring homes are designed and built in a way that fits the land and the vision of Wild Spring Dunes, and making sure each home is completed on schedule, within budget, and ready to function as part of the resort when appropriate.
You will work closely with Ownership, the real estate team, resort operations, architects, contractors, and consultant partners. In coordination with the Dream Golf Program Manager, you will help oversee the day-to-day progress of residential design and construction, while also helping create organized, consistent processes that will allow the residential program to grow in a thoughtful and scalable way.
Wild Spring Dunes is being developed as a public golf resort and refuge, with world-class golf, accommodations, and homesites set across more than 2,400 acres of sandy terrain, forests, meadows, hills, and spring-fed creeks. The goal is to create a place that feels connected to the land — an escape, a destination, and a community for people who love golf and the outdoors.
In this role, you will help bring that vision to life through the homes we build.
