The first thing that hits you at the Omni PGA Frisco is the scale. Six hundred and sixty acres of rolling North Texas grass, a resort tower you can see from the tollway, and a lobby fireplace big enough to lose a family in. The second thing is the bill.
The Omni PGA Frisco Resort is a 500-room golf resort at 4341 PGA Parkway with 10 four-bedroom ranch houses, four pools including an adults-only rooftop infinity pool, a full Mokara Spa and 13 places to eat across the campus. It opened in 2023, won a Travel + Leisure World’s Best award in 2024, and hosts the 2027 PGA Championship.
This is the dedicated hotel review: rooms, pools, spa, restaurants, service and what it honestly costs. It sits alongside our broader roundup of hotels in Frisco TX and our deeper look at the city’s luxury hotels. For the golf itself, we’ve written separate guides to both courses, linked below, so this one stays on the resort.
Room types and what they cost
Rates below are what the resort and the booking sites were showing in 2026 for a standard midweek night. They swing hard with season, golf calendar and how far out you book, so treat them as a shape, not a quote.
| Room type | Typical rate (2026) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Deluxe King / Deluxe Queen | From around $250–300 | Couples, solo golfers, anyone who’ll be outside all day |
| Premier King / Premier Queen | From around $375 | Upper floors, floor-to-ceiling views over Fields Ranch |
| Balcony Suite | Quoted on request — a clear step up | Families who need a door between the bed and the TV |
| Fairway Suite | Quoted on request | Sweeping course views, separate living space |
| Ranch Home Villa | Premium — call for pricing | Groups of six or more splitting a bill four ways |
Add roughly $45 a night for the resort charge and $30 for overnight self-parking, or $48 for valet (2026 — confirm at booking). A three-night stay in a Deluxe King is realistically $1,100 to $1,400 before you eat anything.
The rooms
Deluxe and Premier: the ones most people book
The standard rooms lean hard into a modern Texas look — tartan and plaid, tufted leather headboards, cowhide accent chairs, and a custom oak liquor cabinet that is genuinely a nice touch and not just a minibar with a lid. Bathrooms are the strong point: navy walls, tile floors, a marble vanity, and a proper amount of counter space. Some carry a tub-shower combination, which matters if you’re travelling with small children.
Premier rooms buy you height and glass. Upper floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, views out over the fairways rather than over a service roof. The gap between Deluxe and Premier is roughly $75 to $100 a night, and my honest read is that it’s worth it only if you plan to spend real time in the room. If you’re teeing off at seven and eating dinner at eight, book the Deluxe and put the difference into a spa treatment.
The rooms are comfortable rather than remarkable. Good bedding, quiet HVAC, enough power outlets, decent blackout. Nothing here will surprise anyone who has stayed at a new-build American resort in the last five years, and that’s fine — the room is not why you came.
Suites
Balcony Suites give you a private king bedroom, a separate living area and floor-to-ceiling glass. Fairway Suites are the same idea with the course view as the headline. Both are one-bedroom layouts, so a family of four is still sharing sleeping space unless you take a connecting room — the resort does guarantee connecting rooms on request, for a small nightly charge, which is more than most properties will commit to.
The Ranch Houses
Ten four-bedroom villas overlooking the golf courses, each with 4.5 bathrooms, oak ceiling beams, a hand-chiseled fireplace, an open-air porch and round-the-clock concierge access. They are the most interesting thing on the property and the easiest thing to get wrong.
Book a Ranch House only if you’re six or more people who will genuinely use the common space — a golf trip, a multigenerational family, a small executive retreat. Split eight ways it is competitive with four Premier rooms and vastly nicer. Split two ways it is an act of financial self-harm. The villas also sit a walk away from the tower, so you’re relying on the property shuttle or your own legs for every coffee and every tee time.
Four pools, and the one you actually want
The pool complex is the strongest non-golf argument for staying here, and the resort has split it cleverly so that families and adults aren’t fighting over the same deck chairs.
The adults-only rooftop infinity pool
Sixth floor, 21 and over, panoramic views across the Fields Ranch fairways, a hot tub, cabanas and the Bluestem Bar serving Asian-American-inflected cocktails and bar food. This is the best single space at the resort. At six in the evening in late September, with the light going long over the course and a drink in hand, it justifies a lot of what’s wrong with the pricing.
Bluestem’s hours run roughly 11am to 6pm Monday to Thursday, later on Fridays and Saturdays, and they shift seasonally. Go on a weekday if you can. On a Saturday in July the loungers are gone by ten in the morning and the 21-plus rule stops feeling like much of a filter.
The leisure pools and splash pad
Two family pools sit next to The Apron, with cabanas, the Leisure Pool Bar and a splash pad aimed squarely at toddlers. There are DJs at the family pool on some afternoons, which you will either love or find deeply unnecessary depending on your age and hangover. It’s a well-designed kids’ zone and it’s the reason this place works as a Frisco TX family vacation base rather than a pure golf property.
The spa pool
Quiet, attached to Mokara, and the sleeper pick. If the rooftop is full and the family pools are loud, this is where to go. You’ll want a spa booking or at least a Green Cactus Café order to feel legitimate about it.
One caveat worth knowing: from roughly October through March the pool bars close, though food and drinks are still delivered poolside. A winter stay is a very different, much quieter experience. Cabanas book in advance through ResortPass, and locals can buy day passes the same way, which is worth knowing if you live in DFW and just want the rooftop for an afternoon.
Mokara Spa
Mokara is Omni’s premium spa brand, and the Frisco outpost is a proper full-service operation: massages, facials, body therapies, salon services, plus whirlpools, steam rooms, saunas and that private spa pool. There are golf-specific treatments on the menu, which sounds like a gimmick and isn’t — if you’ve walked 36 holes in Texas heat, a treatment built around calves, shoulders and forearms is the right call.
Hours run roughly 10am to 5pm Sunday through Thursday and 9am to 7pm Friday and Saturday. Green Cactus Café flows directly out of the spa with juices, elixirs and light plates, so you can make a half-day of it without putting real clothes back on.
The complaint you’ll hear most from guests is the pricing, and it’s fair. Treatments sit at resort rates and the add-ons stack quickly. If you want the spa, look for the Texas Oasis package, which has been bundling a $150 spa credit with the room — that’s the difference between a treatment feeling like a splurge and feeling like a mugging. Book at least a week out for weekend slots.
Eating and drinking
The resort counts 13 dining options, which is technically true and slightly misleading. Seven sit on the hotel property itself: two full restaurants, two bars, a coffee shop, a spa café and a pool bar. The rest are out in the PGA District, a short walk or shuttle ride away. Both sets are worth your time, but plan on the walk.
Trick Rider
The signature restaurant, built as an ode to rodeo culture with a crystal horse installation hanging over the bar. Steaks, seafood and shellfish. The broiled oysters with miso and sambal butter are the dish to order; the 36-ounce tomahawk is a group commitment and priced accordingly. It’s a good steakhouse rather than a great one, and it’s competing with a very deep field — our list of the best restaurants in Frisco TX has places doing more interesting work for less money fifteen minutes down the road.
Worth knowing: valet parking is complimentary if you’re dining at Trick Rider or The Apron, or have a Mokara appointment. That’s a real saving if you’re a local coming in for dinner.
The Apron Kitchen + Bar
The all-day room. Texas and California cooking, big windows over Fields Ranch, breakfast through dinner, pastries and gelato in between. This is where you’ll eat most of your meals and it does the job well. Breakfast is the strongest service.
The Lookout Lounge & Bar
My favourite spot on the property that isn’t the rooftop pool. Panoramic views across the rolling ground and the courses, small plates and tapas, and live music Wednesday through Saturday — typically 6pm to 9pm midweek and 8pm to 11pm at the weekend. The build-your-own highball menu is a genuinely good idea: pick a base spirit, pick a craft mixer, done. Order a Maker’s Mark with an American tonic and sit outside at sunset.
The rest
Toast & Tee Coffee Collective off the lobby handles coffee and grab-and-go, and it’s the difference between a civilised 6:30am tee time and a miserable one. Out in the PGA District you get Ryder Cup Grille at the Fields Ranch clubhouse, Ice House with six live hitting bays, a Lounge by Topgolf with Swing Suite simulators, Margaret’s Cones & Cups for ice cream, and a couple of grab-and-go stops on the courses. There’s live country at Ice House, jazz at Trick Rider and a fireside musician most nights at the 10th Fairway Terrace.
Two honest gripes. In-room dining runs breakfast and dinner only, so there’s no lunch room service — a real omission at a resort where people are coming off courses at odd hours. And if you’re travelling with children, note the kids-eat-free window runs roughly late April to early September for under-10s at breakfast and lunch, with half-price dinner alongside an adult entrée. Outside that window, feeding a family here gets expensive fast.
The golf, briefly
Two 18-hole championship courses at Fields Ranch, one by Gil Hanse and one by Beau Welling, plus The Swing — a lighted 10-hole par-3 course you can play after dark — and a two-acre putting course. Fields Ranch East hosts the 2027 PGA Championship.
We’ve covered the golf properly elsewhere rather than skimming it here: read our guides to Fields Ranch East and Fields Ranch West for hole-by-hole detail, tee-time strategy and which one suits your handicap. Our wider overview of golf in Frisco TX puts them in context against the rest of the city’s courses.
The one thing to say from a hotel-review angle: the lighted short course is underrated as a non-golfer amenity. Ninety minutes, floodlights, no dress code anxiety, and it converts spouses and teenagers who would never sign up for a real round.
Service and the small stuff
Service is the thing guests praise most consistently, and it tracks with what you’d expect from a young property with a large staff and a reputation to build. Front desk is quick, the shuttle drivers know the campus, and the restaurant teams have their systems down. Nobody is going to make you feel like you’re inconveniencing them.
Where it wobbles is scale. Five hundred rooms plus 127,000 square feet of meeting space means you will occasionally arrive into a check-in queue behind a conference, and the pool decks on a summer Saturday feel more like a busy municipal facility than a luxury resort. If you want the version of this place that matches the marketing photographs, come midweek or come in the shoulder season.
Practical details that catch people out: check-in is 4pm and check-out is 11am, which is a tight window and strictly enforced when the house is full. Pets are welcome — up to two per reservation, 60 pounds each — but there’s a $150 non-refundable cleaning fee at check-in. Rollaway beds run about $20 a night. Wi-Fi, the fitness centre with its Peloton bikes, in-room water, coffee and tea, and the property shuttle are all inside the resort charge.
What the Omni PGA Frisco Resort really costs
Here is the part the brochure buries. In 2026 the resort was showing standard rooms from roughly $290 to $306 a night and Premier rooms from about $376, with promotional rates dipping toward $250 for multi-night midweek stays. On top of that:
- Resort charge: around $45 per night (2026 — check current). Covers Wi-Fi, fitness centre, in-room water and coffee, shuttle and pool access.
- Parking: around $30 a night for self-park, $48 for valet, with shorter-stay rates from about $20. Complimentary valet for spa appointments and dinner at Trick Rider or The Apron.
- Golf, spa and food: all resort-priced, none of it included.
The resort fee stings, and it stings more because you’re already paying for parking on a property where there is nowhere else to put a car. Roughly $75 a night in mandatory extras on a $290 room is a 26 percent uplift, and that’s before tax. Price the all-in number before you compare it to anywhere else.
How to spend less: Omni runs recurring stacked discounts — 10 percent off two nights, 15 percent off three or more — plus AAA rates, golf packages and seasonal offers. Three midweek nights in September will land dramatically cheaper than two weekend nights in May for a better weather experience. If the resort simply doesn’t fit the budget, our roundup of budget hotels in Frisco covers the tollway options, and the hotels near The Star put you in a livelier part of town for half the price.
Who it suits, and who should stay somewhere else
Book it if
- You play golf seriously and want to tee off on a major championship venue without leaving the property.
- You’re planning a multigenerational trip where the grandparents want a spa, the parents want a rooftop bar and the kids want a splash pad, and nobody wants to drive.
- You’re running an executive retreat or incentive trip and the containment is worth the premium.
- You want a genuinely luxurious base for exploring the area — the resort is a fifteen-minute drive from most of the best things to do in Frisco TX.
Stay elsewhere if
- You want to walk to things. The resort is deliberately isolated. There is no neighbourhood outside the gates and no public transport. Everything off-campus requires a car or a rideshare. If you’d rather step out of the lobby into bars and restaurants, The Star district is the better base.
- You don’t play golf and don’t care about pools. Strip those out and you’re paying resort rates for a very nice suburban hotel.
- You’re on a budget with a family. Two rooms, a resort fee on each, parking, and resort food pricing adds up brutally fast.
- You’re visiting in July or August with no interest in swimming. The outdoor amenities are most of the value, and North Texas summer makes them a two-hour-a-day proposition.
Planning your stay
Getting there
DFW International is about 30 miles out, roughly a 29-minute drive. Dallas Love Field is 32 miles and closer to 38 minutes with traffic. Downtown Dallas is around 35 miles via the Dallas North Tollway. Rent a car or budget for rideshares — there is no rail or bus connection into this part of Frisco, and shuttle service is on-property only. Our guide to getting to Frisco, Texas covers the airport routes and toll tags.
When to go
Mid-September through October is the sweet spot: summer crowds gone, rates softer, and the weather still warm enough for the rooftop pool. April and May are lovely but pricier and busier. December through February is cheap and quiet, with the pool bars closed and the golf a cold proposition. July and August are hot enough to reorganise your whole day around shade. See our breakdown of the best time to visit Frisco TX for the full seasonal picture.
Booking tips
Book direct for the stacked night discounts, join Select Guest for the free Wi-Fi and welcome drink, and if the spa matters, price the package rather than booking treatments à la carte. Tee times for the championship courses should be locked in when you book the room, not after. For everything happening on the wider campus — the PGA District shops, the coaching centre, the drone shows — our PGA Frisco visitor guide is the fuller picture.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Omni PGA Frisco Resort worth the money?
If you’ll use the golf, the pools and the spa, yes — there is nothing comparable in North Texas. If you’re treating it as a place to sleep while you visit Frisco, no. The all-in nightly cost with the resort charge and parking runs 25 to 30 percent above the headline rate, and you’re paying for amenities you won’t touch.
Does the Omni PGA Frisco Resort have a resort fee?
Yes, around $45 per night in 2026 — confirm the current figure when you book. It covers Wi-Fi, the fitness centre, in-room bottled water, coffee and tea, the property shuttle and access to all four pools. Parking is charged separately, at roughly $30 a night for self-park or $48 for valet.
Can you stay at the Omni PGA Frisco Resort if you don’t play golf?
Absolutely, and plenty do. Four pools, the Mokara Spa, 13 dining outlets, live music most nights and a shopping district on site fill several days without a club in hand. That said, the resort’s pricing assumes you’re buying into the golf, so non-golfers pay a premium for atmosphere they’re only half using.
Is the Omni PGA Frisco Resort good for families?
Genuinely, yes. The splash pad, two dedicated family pools, ice cream at Margaret’s Cones & Cups, the lighted par-3 short course and the seasonal kids-eat-free programme are all built for it. The adults-only rooftop pool means parents get an escape valve too. The main constraint is cost, not facilities.
How far is the Omni PGA Frisco Resort from DFW Airport?
Roughly 30 miles, about a 29-minute drive in normal traffic and considerably longer at rush hour. Dallas Love Field is 32 miles and closer to 38 minutes. There’s no shuttle from either airport and no public transport into this corner of Frisco, so plan on a rental car or a rideshare that will run $60 to $80 each way.
Can locals use the pools without staying overnight?
Yes. Day passes and cabana rentals are sold to non-guests through ResortPass, subject to availability year-round. It’s a reasonable way to try the property before committing to a stay, and the rooftop infinity pool on a weekday afternoon is one of the better-value luxury experiences in the Dallas suburbs.
Final thoughts: the verdict
The Omni PGA Frisco Resort is a genuinely excellent golf resort and a slightly awkward hotel. Everything built around the two courses — the clubhouse, the short course, the practice ground, the golf-specific spa treatments, the fact that you can walk from your bed to the first tee — is done to a standard nothing else in Texas matches. The rooftop infinity pool is one of the best hotel spaces in the state. Service is warm and competent.
What it isn’t is a destination in itself for people who don’t care about any of that. It’s isolated by design, priced at the top of the market, and layered with fees that make the real number 25 to 30 percent higher than the one you searched. On a hot July Saturday with three conferences in-house, it can feel a lot less exclusive than the rate implies.
My verdict: book it for a golf trip, a milestone celebration or a genuinely multigenerational family week, ideally midweek in late September or October. Skip it for a city break. If you want Frisco itself — the restaurants, the sports, the shopping — put the money into a hotel closer to the action and drive out here for a round and a drink on the roof. That’s the version of this resort I’d recommend to most people, and it costs a fraction of a full stay.
