PGA Frisco: How to Book and What to Pay
PGA Frisco is the PGA of America's headquarters campus, opened in 2023 in the northern suburbs of Dallas-Fort Worth. The development brought two championship courses designed by Gil Hanse and Beau Welling to a region that previously lacked a marquee public-access golf destination. The broader DFW area supplements the Frisco campus with a deep bench of daily-fee and resort courses, creating a market where visitors can combine the flagship PGA experience with solid secondary options. Booking is modern, mostly digital, and benefits from basic advance planning.
Fields Ranch: The Main Event
Fields Ranch East and Fields Ranch West are the two championship courses at PGA Frisco. Both are accessible to the public, with tee times bookable online through the PGA Frisco website. Green fees range from $175 to $325 per round depending on season, day of week, and time.
Weekend morning rates sit at the top of the range; weekday afternoon rounds represent the best value.
Old American Golf Club
East, designed with tournament hosting in mind, is the more demanding layout, with wider fairways that allow aggressive play but green complexes that punish imprecise approaches. West plays through more varied terrain and is generally considered the more enjoyable round for recreational golfers. Both courses are walking-friendly, and caddie services are available for an additional fee of approximately $50 to $70 per bag plus gratuity.
The PGA Frisco campus also includes a short course, The Swing, which offers a 10-hole par-3 layout at a fraction of the championship course price. It is an effective warm-up or a standalone experience for travelers with limited time.
Booking at PGA Frisco
Tee times at Fields Ranch open 14 days in advance for the general public. Omni PGA Frisco Resort guests receive extended booking windows, typically 30 to 60 days ahead, which provides a meaningful advantage during peak periods. The booking system is entirely online, with real-time availability and instant confirmation.
The resort connection matters. Staying at the Omni not only extends the booking window but frequently unlocks preferred pricing and package options that are not available to walk-in bookings. For travelers whose primary objective is playing both Fields Ranch courses, the Omni stay-and-play path simplifies logistics and reduces per-round cost.
The Broader DFW Market
Tip
The Tribute, a Tom Fazio design inspired by links holes from the British Isles, and Texas Rangers Golf Club offer additional options in the $60 to $120 range. These courses do not carry the prestige of Fields Ranch, but they provide solid golf at prices that make multi-round trips economically comfortable.
Seasonal Pricing
North Texas golf follows a two-peak pricing pattern. Spring, from March through May, and fall, from October through November, represent peak demand. Temperatures during these windows are ideal for golf, and green fees reflect the demand. Summer, from June through September, brings heat that regularly exceeds 100 degrees, and courses respond with reduced pricing, sometimes 30 to 50 percent below peak rates. Early morning tee times in summer, starting as early as 6:00 AM, allow players to complete rounds before the heat becomes oppressive.
Winter in DFW is mild by national standards, with daytime temperatures often in the 50s and 60s. Green fees drop modestly, and tee sheet availability opens up considerably. The occasional cold front can bring temperatures into the 30s, but playable days outnumber lost ones by a wide margin.
Packages and Logistics
The Omni PGA Frisco Resort offers stay-and-play packages that bundle lodging with guaranteed tee times on both Fields Ranch courses.
These packages represent the most efficient way to experience the campus, particularly during peak season when public booking windows tighten.
DFW International Airport and Dallas Love Field are both within 30 to 45 minutes of Frisco, making access straightforward from most domestic origins. A rental car is effectively required; the courses and the metro area are not walkable, and rideshare costs accumulate quickly over a multi-day trip.
