Developer David Craig a former Texas A&M football player turned international businessman has faced tough challenges while developing Craig Ranch. First there were property owners who held out during the land assemblage and the two lane roads. Then there was 9-11 that threaten to hinder the PGA golf course partnership. Today the residue of yesterday’s mortgage crisis still hangs over the capital markets forcing lenders to tighten their belts with stricter guidelines. Through it all Mr. Craig stands at the Craig Ranch’s model development table with quitting nowhere on his agenda he forges ahead full throttle. “Be willing to put in the long hours,” Craig advised.
If you love golf and the feel of a small town then you will love Craig Ranch. Its founder developer, Mr. David Craig spares no amenities for current and future residents. The vision for Craig Ranch was spawned 10 years ago during a New Urbanism convention. With the support of the City of McKinney
The hard work and patience has paid off Craig Ranch is home to several custom home builders, PGA/TPC golf course, residents include pro golfers, the Craig Ranch Hospital, Cooper Fitness Center, Dr. Pepper Starcenter, the Gold Medalist Michael Johnson Performance Center, and many more. After our meeting with Mr. Craig concluded I drove around Craig Ranch. Since Craig Ranch has a trolley for residents perhaps if I had its schedule I could have opted to take it. The custom homes were beautiful several so close to the golf course one could travel to it on their golf cart. I believe that Craig Ranch will continue to thrive as the markets thaw.
