Fields Ranch West, the campus's other course, ranks twenty-second on the same list, also labelled "Public," and is a separate entry in this guide. This guide is about the course that placed eighth.

Fields Ranch East

Fields Ranch East opened in May 2023, designed by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner. The operator's own site gives 18 holes, 7,863 yards, par 72, course rating 78.9, and slope 151. Golf Digest's course page states that the East course "has already hosted the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship" and "is set to host... the PGA Championship (2027, 2034), the KPMG Women's PGA Championship (2025, 2031) and the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship again in 2029." The operator's own East-course header separately calls it "Home of the 2027 PGA Championship." Dress code, per fieldsranch.com: "Golf shirts and closed-toe shoes are required on Fields Ranch East and Fields Ranch West, denim is not permitted."

Playing it: booking, price, and the caddie

Fields Ranch East is public, not private: the PGA of America's own FAQ describes PGA Frisco as "a public/private partnership between the PGA of America, Omni Hotels & Resorts, the City of Frisco and the Frisco Independent School District," and no membership is required to book a tee time. Tee times run through the resort's own booking engine at omnipgafriscoexperiences.com, and how far ahead a golfer can book depends on who they are: the general public books 7 days ahead, Frisco residents book 10 days ahead, and registered guests of the Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa book up to 120 days ahead of their stay date. The public green fee is $350 per player — the rate the operator's own booking system quoted for every date of its public window during September 2026; resort-guest pricing for the same stretch of dates ran from $315 to $395 depending on the date. Fields Ranch East is a walking course with a mandatory caddie. Fieldsranch.com, read in September 2026, publishes CaddieMaster's own schedule: $80 plus tax per player for a double bag, $125 plus tax for a single bag from September through May, $110 plus tax for a single bag from June through August, and $40 to $120 plus tax per player for a forecaddie depending on group size. Caddie fees and gratuity are not included in the green fee, and the operator recommends a gratuity of $45 and up per bag for a walking caddie. Add a caddie fee to the green fee and a public round runs roughly $475 to $525 per player before gratuity. Carts are not generally available on Fields Ranch East: the operator's own seasonal restriction calendar bars them outright from March 27 through June 21 and again from September 18 through November 29, and in every other stretch of the year permits them only after a stated hour, often restricted to cart paths or ranch roads; push carts are never permitted.

Fields Ranch West

Fields Ranch West, on the same campus, ranks twenty-second on the same Golf Digest Texas list, also labelled "Public." Beau Welling designed it. On the same date the operator's booking system quoted $350 for Fields Ranch East's public rate, it quoted $280 for Fields Ranch West's public rate, $260 for resort guests, and $252 for Frisco residents. Unlike the East course, carts are seasonally available on the West course with a forecaddie.

Staying and eating on the campus

Golfers here typically stay at Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa, on the same campus as both courses. The resort's own site describes "500 comfortable guest rooms and suites," ten four-bedroom Ranch House Villas, and the Mokara Spa. Two dining outlets are named on the resort's own site: Ryder Cup Grille and Toast & Tee Coffee Collective. The resort's own golf page states: "Guests of Fields Ranch can access the Driving Range, Warm-Up Putting Green, and Chipping Green for same-day use prior to their tee time. These practice facilities are not open to the general public for use." Fieldsranch.com adds that weekly maintenance for the driving range is typically performed on Tuesdays.
