North of Dallas, in the fast-growing city of Frisco (AKA “Sports City USA”), the Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa anchors a 660-acre campus that the PGA of America now calls home. Two tournament-caliber courses — Fields Ranch East by Gil Hanse and Fields Ranch West by Beau Welling — spread through Blackland prairie and along Panther Creek, alternating between wide corridors and exacting green complexes. For those looking for something more casual, the property leans into the lighter side of golf, too, with two experiences: The Swing, a lighted 10-hole short course, and The Dance Floor, a sprawling two-acre putting course.
Fields Ranch East hosted the 2023 KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship, and the venue is set to stage the 2027 PGA Championship. The latter marks a men’s major golf returning to North Texas for the first time in nearly six decades.
Travelers come for more than a couple rounds. The 451-room resort has four pools, a full-service spa, and 13 restaurants. It’s also easy to get to: DFW International Airport sits is about a 35- to 40-minute drive away.
Beyond the courses and resort, Omni PGA Frisco anchors the greater PGA Frisco headquarters, a sprawling administrative and events campus for the PGA of America’s operations. Nearby, the Monument Realty PGA District is the broad entertainment area of the property that’s made up of a walkable collection of restaurants, retail, performance venues, driving bays, and social gathering spots…
