5 Things That Are Absolutely Worth the Money: Mansfield Edition
Some splurges only make sense once you live here. After a while, they stop feeling ridiculous and start feeling completely necessary.
If you live in Mansfield, you already know some of the best investments make absolutely no sense until you’ve lived here. 😂
There’s a certain point where paying for ceramic window tint and a windshield sunshade, planning your entire day around Hwy 287 at 5 o’clock, and having a strong opinion about Braum’s vs. Whataburger just becomes part of being a local.
So here’s my Mansfield local’s “budget guide”: five things that are worth every penny. Send it to a Mansfield friend so they can budget accordingly. 👀
🚤 Boat Day at Joe Pool Lake
Renting a pontoon for the day sounds extra… until you’re floating on the water with your people, music on, and the sun going down over the lake.
Joe Pool Lake is just a short drive from Mansfield, and Lynn Creek Marina rents out pontoons and party boats. You get the whole lake-life experience without owning a boat, paying for storage, or doing the upkeep.
⛳ A Round at Mansfield National Golf Club
It’s a public course, it’s well kept, and it’s right in town. Saturday morning tee times are basically a Mansfield tradition.
Whether you’re a serious golfer or just love an excuse to be outside with friends, it’s an easy escape close to home. No long drive and no country club membership needed.
🥩 Lunch at Meehan’s Chophouse
A long, slow lunch in the middle of the week, with great food and a good drink. Sometimes that’s exactly what a busy week needs.
Meehan’s Chophouse brings a steakhouse experience to Mansfield, so you can enjoy an elevated meal without heading into Fort Worth or Dallas.
💆♀️ A Spa Day at Avante Salon & Day Spa
A massage, a facial, a blowout, a full reset. Avante Salon & Day Spa is right here in Mansfield, so you can relax without fighting traffic on the way home.
Between school drop-offs, work, and everything in between, carving out a few hours for yourself makes a real difference.
🍷 Wine Tasting at Old Vine Texas
Old Vine Texas is a tasting room pouring Texas wines, right here in Mansfield. Grab a flight, find a new favorite, and enjoy a relaxed afternoon or date night close to home.
It’s also a sweet way to support local and discover how many great wines come from our own state.
