Somewhere on the northern edge of Frisco, you can putt on a 10-acre green under neon lights, eat a burnt-ends breakfast taco overlooking the 18th hole of a future major-championship course, and soak in a rooftop infinity pool — all on a campus the PGA of America built from scratch. That’s PGA Frisco, and it opened the door to a destination-resort experience that North Texas never had before.
PGA Frisco is a 660-acre resort, golf, and entertainment campus that opened in 2023 as the new home of the PGA of America. It combines two championship courses, a luxury Omni resort, the lighted par-3 course called The Swing, the 10-acre putting course called The Dance Floor, the open-to-everyone PGA District, the Mokara Spa, four pools, and 13 restaurants and bars. Whether you arrive as a serious golfer, a resort guest, or a local coming for dinner and drinks, this guide covers everything you need to plan the trip.
For the broader scene beyond this one campus, browse our pillar guide to golf in Frisco TX, which maps every public course, simulator, and junior program in town. PGA Frisco is increasingly the city’s signature attraction — and not just for golfers. It’s for anyone who wants a resort getaway without leaving the DFW metroplex.

What Is PGA Frisco?
PGA Frisco is the official new home of the PGA of America — the organization that represents 30,000-plus golf professionals and runs the PGA Championship, the Ryder Cup, and other marquee events. After more than 50 years headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, the PGA relocated to Frisco in 2022 and built out the largest single-site golf development in modern American history. The campus officially opened to the public in May 2023 with the debut of the Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa.
The complete campus includes Fields Ranch East (a Gil Hanse-designed 7,603-yard championship course), Fields Ranch West (a Beau Welling-designed 6,898-yard championship course), The Swing (a lighted 10-hole par-3 short course), The Dance Floor (a 10-acre putting course), the Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa (500 rooms, 10 four-bedroom Ranch Houses, 13 dining venues, four pools, and the Mokara Spa), the PGA District (the casual restaurant-bar-entertainment row open to non-resort guests), the PGA of America headquarters, and the Hill at PGA Frisco (a casual outdoor amphitheater hosting concerts and events). It’s a lot — which is exactly why a little planning pays off.
The Two Championship Courses: Fields Ranch East & West
Fields Ranch East — Gil Hanse
The 7,603-yard Fields Ranch East is the headliner. It’s designed by acclaimed architect Gil Hanse — the man behind the celebrated Olympic course in Rio and the recent renovation of Pinehurst No. 4 — and it shows: strategic bunkering, natural elevation changes, native Texas vegetation, and four sets of tees from 5,200 to 7,603 yards so it’s playable well beyond the pros. The course will host the 2027 PGA Championship and the 2034 PGA Championship, and it’s already in regular rotation for the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship and other major events. Public greens fees run roughly $250 to $450 in peak season for non-resort guests; resort guests get preferred booking and reduced rates.
Fields Ranch West — Beau Welling
Beau Welling — known for his work on the Tom Watson-designed First Tee courses and his collaboration with Tiger Woods on TGR Design — built Fields Ranch West as the more playable companion at 6,898 yards. West emphasizes fun and accessibility while holding championship-quality conditions. Greens fees are slightly less than the East at around $200 to $400. Most golfers playing both on a single trip recommend playing West first to warm up before tackling the more demanding East — solid advice worth following.
Course Tips
Book tee times 60-plus days in advance for weekend morning slots — both courses fill fast. Walking is permitted on West, but Fields Ranch East is cart-only. The signature hole on East is the par-3 seventh, which plays over a creek to a heavily bunkered green; save your camera for it. Practice-facility access is included with all greens fees, so arrive early and warm up properly.
The Swing — Lighted Par-3 Short Course
One of PGA Frisco’s most innovative features is The Swing, a 10-hole par-3 short course with full LED lighting for year-round night golf. Holes range from 65 to 130 yards, and the whole thing is built for casual play — family rounds, beginners, and anyone who wants to squeeze in 9 to 18 holes after work or before dinner. Greens fees run around $40 to $75 for 10 holes depending on time of day, and twilight pricing kicks in after 5 PM (the best value of the day). Walking is encouraged. If you’ve never understood why anyone would golf at night, one round here under the lights will sell you.
The Dance Floor — 10-Acre Putting Course
The Dance Floor is one of the largest dedicated putting greens in the United States — 10 acres with 18 distinct cup locations, undulating contours, sand bunkers, and water features. It plays like a miniature golf course but with real championship-grade greens under your ball. It’s open to all guests, including non-golfers, costs just around $20 per person for unlimited time, and is the perfect entry point for kids and beginners. Bring your own putter or rent one at the pro shop. On Friday and Saturday nights there are twilight glow rounds with neon-lit holes and music — genuinely one of the most fun, low-stakes things to do on the whole campus.
Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa
The 500-room Omni PGA Frisco Resort is the campus centerpiece and one of the most luxurious resorts in Texas. Standard king rooms start at a generous 450 square feet — among the largest entry-level rooms of any Texas resort — with custom oak liquor cabinets, tufted leather headboards, marble bathrooms, and oversized soaking tubs. Suites scale all the way up to the 2,500-square-foot Presidential. Tartan accents and custom Texas artwork blend the property’s PGA-meets-cattle-ranch heritage, and it works better than it sounds.
Beyond standard rooms, the resort offers 10 exclusive four-bedroom Ranch Houses — private detached residences with open floor plans, fireplaces, chef’s kitchens, dining areas, and private patios. Ranch Houses sleep 8 to 12 comfortably and are popular with golf groups, family reunions, and corporate retreats. Pricing typically runs $1,200 to $2,500 per night depending on season (2026 — check current). If you’re weighing the resort against other high-end stays in town, our roundup of the best luxury hotels in Frisco TX lays out the alternatives.
Pools
Four resort pools serve different crowds. The main family pool has a 510-foot lazy river with cabanas, food and beverage service, and a kid-friendly splash pad. The adults-only Cabana Pool is the quieter 21-plus option. A third pool is family-focused with kid-aged splash features. And the rooftop adults-only infinity pool is the photo magnet and the property’s signature feature — the one that shows up on every Instagram feed. Lounge chairs and umbrellas are first-come, first-served; private cabanas can be booked through the concierge starting around $250 per day.
Mokara Spa
The 23,000-square-foot Mokara Spa is the largest spa in the metroplex, with 16 treatment rooms, a hydrotherapy circuit, indoor relaxation grottoes, indoor and outdoor relaxation lounges, a full-service salon, and dedicated couples’ suites. Signature treatments include the 90-minute Texas Hill Country massage with locally sourced botanicals, a CBD-infused recovery facial, and a golf-recovery package pairing deep-tissue massage with hydrotherapy — which, after 18 walking holes on the East course, is exactly what your legs will be begging for. Pricing: 50-minute massages start around $185, 80-minute treatments around $235, and signature 90-minute experiences around $295. Day-pass access for non-guests starts around $75 with a treatment booking.
Dining at PGA Frisco: 13 Restaurants & Bars
PGA Frisco has the deepest dining lineup of any DFW resort — 13 restaurants and bars, and the good news is you don’t have to be a guest to eat at most of them. The highlights:
- Trick Rider — The headline steakhouse: prime aged ribeyes, an exceptional bourbon list, and live music on weekends. Recently named one of the top three steakhouse experiences in DFW. Reservations essential; expect $90 to $150 per person for dinner.
- Apron — The all-day favorite for golfers. Breakfast (try the breakfast tacos with burnt-ends brisket, avocado toast, or an acai bowl), lunch, and dinner, with patio seating overlooking the 18th green of Fields Ranch East. The best seat on campus at sunset.
- Ryder Cup Grille — The casual after-golf spot: craft beer, a burger, and a pet-friendly patio.
- Ice House — Counter-service with happy-hour drinks, casual food, and a giant outdoor screen for sports.
- The Knot — A 14-seat hidden speakeasy reached through an unmarked door. Reservations are nearly impossible; it’s largely reserved for resort guests and members. Worth a shot if you’re staying over.
- Mr. Salmon Sushi — Modern Japanese with sushi, sashimi, and Japanese whisky pairings.
- Lockhart Smokehouse — A satellite of the famous Dallas BBQ pitmaster, serving central-Texas-style brisket, ribs, and sausage on an outdoor patio at the PGA District.
- Monarch — A newer addition focused on coastal Mediterranean: outstanding seafood and a Greek-inspired wine list.

The PGA District — Open to Everyone
Here’s the distinction that surprises people: the PGA District — the outdoor restaurant-bar-shop row — is fully open to the public, no resort stay required. Walk in, grab dinner, browse the shops, catch live music at The Hill amphitheater, and soak in the campus atmosphere. Restaurant reservations are recommended for weekend nights, but walk-ins are welcome at most casual venues, and parking at the District is free.
The Hill amphitheater hosts country music acts, family movie nights, and Yoga in the Park sessions throughout the year — most events are free. It’s one of the most pleasant outdoor hangs in Frisco, and plenty of locals treat it as a monthly ritual. If you’re mapping out a whole visit, our guide to things to do in Frisco TX slots the campus into the bigger picture.
Tournament & Event Calendar
PGA Frisco runs a year-round event calendar that pulls in tens of thousands of visitors. The marquee events:
- 2027 PGA Championship at Fields Ranch East — May 2027. Tickets sell via the official PGA Championship website; multi-day grounds passes typically run $100 to $200, with weekly hospitality packages climbing into the thousands.
- 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship — June 2025 (already held).
- KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship — typically May, returning in 2027.
- 2034 PGA Championship at Fields Ranch East — already on the long-term calendar.
- 2042 PGA Cup — the team event between the PGA of America and the PGA of Great Britain.
Beyond the marquee tournaments, the campus hosts member-guest tournaments, charity events, country concerts at The Hill, holiday light displays, and corporate functions. Check the official PGA Frisco events calendar for the current schedule before you plan around a specific date.
How to Visit PGA Frisco — Practical Tips
Day Visit Strategy
You don’t need to stay over to enjoy this place. For a non-resort guest, plan a half-day or full-day visit. A typical day trip: arrive around 11 AM, take a self-guided walk around the campus, grab lunch at Apron or Lockhart Smokehouse, play nine at The Swing or putt at The Dance Floor, then settle in for sunset cocktails on the lawn at Apron or Trick Rider’s bar. Plenty of locals do exactly this once a month — it’s one of Frisco’s most pleasant outdoor afternoons.
Multi-Day Resort Stay
For the full experience, stay two to three nights at the Omni. A balanced three-day itinerary: Day one — afternoon arrival, check-in, dinner at Trick Rider. Day two — morning round at Fields Ranch West, an afternoon spa session, evening at The Hill. Day three — a round at Fields Ranch East, lunch at Apron, then departure. Add a fourth day for The Dance Floor, The Swing under lights, and a long lunch at Monarch. For alternatives if the Omni is booked, our where to stay in Frisco TX guide covers every price point.

If you’re still sorting out how to get into town, our guide on how to get to Frisco TX covers airports and rideshare.
Best Time to Visit PGA Frisco
The campus is a year-round destination, but the season shapes the experience. Fall (September through November) is the sweet spot — warm days, cool evenings, clear skies, and the most comfortable conditions for walking Fields Ranch West. Spring is nearly as good, though afternoon thunderstorms can roll through. Winter is mild by northern standards, with daytime highs in the 50s and 60s, which makes a golf getaway here a genuine cold-weather escape for out-of-state players.
Summer is the one to strategize around. From June through August, temperatures regularly top 100 degrees, so book morning tee times or lean into the twilight window — and this is exactly when The Swing under the lights and a late-night session on The Dance Floor become the smart play. The pools also earn their keep in July. If you’re timing a trip around a tournament, remember that major-championship weeks (like May 2027) book out the resort far in advance and change the whole rhythm of the campus, so plan those stays early or aim for a quieter month.
PGA Frisco vs. Other DFW Golf Destinations
PGA Frisco holds a unique spot in the DFW golf landscape. Versus the AT&T Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch in nearby McKinney, PGA Frisco offers a destination-resort experience that TPC Craig Ranch simply lacks. Versus Cowboys Golf Club in Grapevine, PGA Frisco is dramatically larger in scope, with two championship courses, a major resort, and a full event calendar. Versus Texas Star in Euless, it’s significantly more upscale and resort-oriented. And versus the Four Seasons Resort & Club Dallas at Las Colinas, the two are comparable in luxury, but PGA Frisco’s golf offering is broader thanks to The Swing and The Dance Floor. For most travelers, PGA Frisco is now the must-visit golf destination in the metroplex — and the anchor of the wider golf in Frisco TX scene.
