Fore! A Golf Weekend in North Dallas
Whether you're chasing birdies or just soaking up the sunshine, North Dallas offers a golf getaway that blends championship-level play with laid-back luxury. Here’s your curated guide to where to swing, sip, and savor.
Where to Play
$$$ PGA Frisco – Fields Ranch East & West
Designed by legends Gil Hanse and Beau Welling, these two 18-hole championship courses are carved into the Texas landscape with dramatic ravines and rolling greens. It’s a splurge, yes—but one that delivers unforgettable rounds and major-tournament prestige.
$$ The Swing – Par-3 Short Course
Perfect for families or casual players, The Swing is a 10-hole, lighted par-3 course with music, walkability, and a vintage truck-turned-drink station. It’s playful, scenic, and surprisingly challenging.
$$ The Bridges – Gunter, TX
Just a short drive north, The Bridges offers the feel of a private club at public rates. With a well-maintained 18-hole course and spacious practice greens, it’s a hidden gem for golfers who value quality without the fuss.
Where to Eat
Breakfast at Birdie’s Breakfast Club
Start your day with golf-themed comfort food and consistently great service. Favorites include the Tiger’s Avocado Toast and the Sawgrass Skillet—both hole-in-one worthy.
Lunch at The Icehouse
BBQ, cocktails, and live hitting bays? Yes, please. Located in the heart of the PGA District, Icehouse serves up slow-smoked brisket, tin can nachos, and a front-row seat to the Swing course action.
Dinner at The Local Open
End your day with cozy vibes, craft cocktails, and—trust me—the fries. With indoor golf simulators and locally sourced fare, it’s the perfect blend of sport and sophistication.
