What Is PGA Frisco?
PGA Frisco is the official new home of the PGA of America — the organization that represents 30,000+ golf professionals and runs the PGA Championship, 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); Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa (500 rooms, 10 four-bedroom Ranch Houses, 13 dining venues, 4 pools, the Mokara Spa); PGA District (the casual restaurant-bar-entertainment row open to non-resort guests); PGA of America headquarters (administrative offices, training, and member education); and the Hill at PGA Frisco (the casual outdoor amphitheater hosting concerts and events).
The Two Championship Courses: Fields Ranch East & West
Fields Ranch East — Gil Hanse
The 7,603-yard Fields Ranch East course is the headliner. Designed by acclaimed golf course architect Gil Hanse — also responsible for the celebrated Olympic course in Rio and the recent renovation of Pinehurst No. 4 — Fields Ranch East features strategic bunkering, natural elevation changes, native Texas vegetation, and four sets of tee boxes from 5,200 to 7,603 yards. The course will host the 2027 PGA Championship and the 2034 PGA Championship, and is already in regular rotation for KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship and other major events. Public greens fees range from $250-$450 in peak season for non-resort guests; resort guests receive preferred booking and reduced rates.
Fields Ranch West — Beau Welling
Beau Welling — known for his work on the Tom Watson-designed The First Tee courses and his collaboration with Tiger Woods on TGR Design — built Fields Ranch West to be the more playable companion course at 6,898 yards. The West Course emphasizes fun and accessibility while maintaining championship-quality conditions. Greens fees are slightly less than the East at $200-$400. Most golfers playing both courses on a single trip recommend playing West first to warm up before tackling the more demanding East.
Course Tips
Book tee times 60+ 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 Fields Ranch East is the par-3 seventh, which plays over a creek to a heavily-bunkered green. Practice facility access is included with all greens fees.
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 that allows for night golf year-round. Holes range from 65 to 130 yards. The course is designed for casual play, family rounds, beginners, and those who want to squeeze in 9-18 holes after work or before dinner. Greens fees are $40-$75 for 10 holes depending on time of day. Twilight pricing kicks in after 5 PM and is the best value of the day. Walking is encouraged.
The Dance Floor — 10-Acre Putting Course
The Dance Floor is one of the largest dedicated putting greens in the United States. Spanning 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. The Dance Floor is open to all guests including non-golfers, costs just $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. Twilight glow rounds happen Friday and Saturday nights with neon-lit holes and music.
Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa
The 500-room Omni PGA Frisco Resort is the campus’s 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 up to the 2,500-square-foot Presidential. Tartan accents and custom Texas artwork blend the property’s PGA-meets-cattle-ranch heritage.
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 outdoor patios. Ranch Houses sleep 8-12 comfortably and are popular with golf groups, family reunions, and corporate retreats. Pricing typically runs $1,200-$2,500 per night depending on season.
Pools
Four resort pools serve different audiences. The main family pool features a 510-foot lazy river with cabanas, food and beverage service, and a kid-friendly splash pad. The adults-only Cabana Pool offers a quieter experience with 21+ access. The third pool is family-focused with kid-aged splash features. The rooftop adults-only infinity pool is the photo-magnet and the property’s signature feature. Lounge chairs and umbrellas are first-come, first-served; private cabanas can be booked through the concierge starting at $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, the CBD-infused recovery facial, and a golf-recovery package combining deep tissue massage with hydrotherapy. Pricing: 50-minute massages start at $185, 80-minute treatments at $235, and signature 90-minute experiences at $295. Day-pass access for non-guests starts at $75 with a treatment booking.
Dining at PGA Frisco: 13 Restaurants & Bars

The Knot: A 14-seat hidden speakeasy reached through an unmarked door. Reservations are nearly impossible to come by; the bar is largely reserved for resort guests and members.
Mr. Salmon Sushi: Modern Japanese inside the resort 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 in an outdoor patio setting at the PGA District.

The PGA District — Open to Everyone

Walk in, grab dinner, browse the shops, listen to live music at The Hill amphitheater, and enjoy the campus atmosphere. Restaurant reservations are recommended for weekend nights but walk-ins are welcome at most casual venues. Free parking is available at the District. The Hill amphitheater hosts country music acts, family movie nights, and Yoga in the Park sessions throughout the year — most events are free.

How to Visit PGA Frisco — Practical Tips
Day Visit Strategy
For a non-resort guest, plan a half-day or full-day visit. A typical day-trip: arrive at 11 AM, take a self-guided walk around the campus, grab lunch at Apron or Lockhart Smokehouse, play 9 holes at The Swing or putt at The Dance Floor, then enjoy sunset cocktails on the lawn at Apron or Trick Rider’s bar. Many locals do this monthly — the campus is one of Frisco’s most pleasant outdoor experiences.
Multi-Day Resort Stay
For a true PGA Frisco experience, stay 2-3 nights at the Omni Resort. A balanced 3-day itinerary: Day 1 — afternoon arrival, check-in, dinner at Trick Rider; Day 2 — morning round at Fields Ranch West, afternoon spa session, evening at The Hill; Day 3 — round at Fields Ranch East, lunch at Apron, departure. Add a fourth day for The Dance Floor, The Swing under lights, and a long lunch at Monarch.

Versus Texas Star Golf Course (Euless): PGA Frisco is significantly more upscale and resort-oriented. Versus the Four Seasons Resort & Club Dallas at Las Colinas: comparable in luxury but PGA Frisco’s golf offering is broader thanks to The Swing and The Dance Floor.
