Frisco is shaping up to become a premier golf destination with a new “golfer’s paradise” now in the works.
A new venture spearheaded by California-based TaylorMade Golf will open an 18-acre resort near the PGA of America’s new headquarters in spring 2025.
The Bays Golf Experience and Suites was announced last week in a press release.
Drawing inspiration from iconic golf courses like Pebble Beach and St. Andrews, TaylorMade Golf is looking to offer visitors a world-class golfing experience.
“Imagine being able to watch your own set of TaylorMade custom clubs expertly made right before your eyes,” said James Meese, one of the investors behind The Bays, per the press release. “With the TaylorMade Bays experience, we are offering world-class hospitality to golf enthusiasts who live and work here and for those willing to travel for the very best.”
Spanning four stories, the resort will feature 24 exclusive suites, each with its own private hitting bay.
The facility will offer an expansive 25,000-square-foot putting green, a chipping area, and a welcoming walk-up bar and restaurant.
Golf enthusiasts can look forward to many amenities, including the “most expansive” bar in North Texas, a rooftop pool, and a monumental 100-foot-wide TV screen encircled by seating from three levels.
“There is nothing like this in the world and my partners and I are ecstatic to bring this must-see destination to life in Frisco,” Meese added.
Founding memberships will be issued by invitation only. The developers are keen to reel in golf enthusiasts with the venue’s unmatched views of the new PGA Frisco complex located just to the north.
As previously reported in The Dallas Express, the PGA of America organization moved its headquarters from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, to Frisco in August 2022.
The rest of its new campus recently opened, featuring two 18-hole golf courses, a 10-hole par-3 course, a 2-acre putting course, a 500-room resort, ranch houses, and plenty of other shops and entertainment options.
Frisco has since become a magnet for an array of new construction projects ranging from mixed-used developments to industrial parks.
While Frisco and other suburban cities of the metroplex have become quite the hotbed of development, Dallas has earned a reputation for being hard to build in.
Dallas’ difficult-to-navigate and delay-prone development process has frequently resulted in backlogs of permit applications at the City’s Development Services Department (DSD).
While DSD has taken steps to improve the permit process, the problems and delays persist as City Manager T.C. Broadnax struggles to turn Dallas into a flagship city for builders.
