Fields Ranch East is the showpiece championship course of PGA Frisco, a masterpiece by legendary architect Gil Hanse set on rolling North Texas ranch terrain bisected by the meandering Panther Creek. Opened in May 2023 as part of a stunning 660-acre development anchoring the PGA of America's headquarters, this walking-only championship venue immediately established itself as a modern classic by hosting the 2023 KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship—the first major on its pristine Bermuda fairways and meticulously crafted greens.
Every hole tells a story of strategic brilliance. The East stretches over 7,800 yards from the tips with a par of 72, featuring more than 90 deep, naturally rough-hewn bunkers that blend seamlessly into the prairie landscape. What makes this course transcendent for groups is the mandatory caddie experience—these aren't your typical cart jockeys but knowledgeable guides who read the subtle complexities of the small, sloping greens. The fairways are deceptively generous, but miss in the wrong places and recovery becomes brutally difficult. The back nine, particularly the celebrated stretch from holes 13 through 17, ascends through dramatic elevation changes with strategic brilliance that rivals any venue in the country.
The setting itself is intoxicating: rolling hills, native grasses, occasional water hazards, and views of the Frisco water tower create an experience that feels far removed from Dallas sprawl despite being just 33 miles north of downtown. This is championship golf designed for majors—pristine, demanding, and utterly mesmerizing. Groups that conquer the East will spend years reliving their rounds.
