Planning a Golf Trip to Dallas-Fort Worth & PGA Frisco: Group Guide
PGA Frisco is home to the PGA of America and Fields Ranch East, host of the 2027 PGA Championship. Pair it with a lighted par-3 course, a giant putting course and a few strong public rounds around the Metroplex.
The courses to play
- Fields Ranch East: Gil Hanse design and the 2027 PGA Championship course. Open to the public, resort guests and members. A caddie is required year-round, and carts are not allowed at all from late March to late June.
- Fields Ranch West: Beau Welling design along Panther Creek with more than 75 feet of elevation change. More forgiving than East, with no caddie requirement.
- The Swing: Lighted 10-hole par-3 course by Hanse and Welling, with holes of 45 to 100 yards and music at night. Resort guests can reserve up to 120 days ahead. The public plays walk-up only.
- The Dance Floor: 18-hole, 2-acre lighted putting course by Gil Hanse. No tee time needed, so it works as an easy group contest after dinner.
- Cowboys Golf Club: Grapevine, a few minutes from DFW. Billed as the only NFL-themed golf club. All 18 greens were renovated with Beau Welling, and public VIP tee times include food and non-alcoholic drinks.
- The Tribute Golf Links: The Colony. Tripp Davis design (2000) whose holes mirror famous Scottish links holes, on the shore of Lewisville Lake.
- Old American Golf Club: The Colony, next to The Tribute. Tripp Davis and Justin Leonard (2010), a Golden Age style course with a back nine along Lewisville Lake.
