Nestled among rolling North Texas prairie at PGA Frisco, Fields Ranch West is Beau Welling's masterpiece of accessible championship golf. Designer and Tiger Woods' architect selected a site rambling alongside Panther Creek, surrounded by native grasses, live oaks, and mesquite trees to create a true oasis amid the urban landscape. What makes the West course sing is Welling's bold use of elevation—more than 75 feet of change throughout the routing—creating dramatic downhill drives and large, rolling greens that seem to tumble across the landscape. The fairways stretch 50-90 yards wide, creating genuine freedom off the tee while the strategic green complexes demand precision in approach play. With five par-5s including back-to-back finishes and multiple birdie opportunities for well-executed shots, this course rewards shotmaking and creativity from tee to green.
Opened in spring 2023 as part of the sprawling 660-acre PGA Frisco campus, Fields Ranch West provides the perfect companion to the tournament-focused East Course. While the East demands walking caddies and championship rigor, the West invites golfers of all skill levels to experience resort golf without sacrificing the sophistication of major championship design. The signature par-4 14th hole features a dramatic Biarritz-style green that will become instantly iconic. Every hole on the property offers visual intrigue and strategic nuance—a course that genuinely needs more imitators in American golf.
The venue sits within the Omni PGA Frisco Resort, headquarters of the PGA of America, featuring 500+ rooms, world-class dining at 13 outlets, the Mokara Spa, multiple pools including an adults-only rooftop infinity pool, and comprehensive practice facilities including The Dance Floor putting course and The Swing short course.
