Overview
The East Course at the Omni PGA Frisco is one of two courses to open at the new Fields Ranch Golf Club. Alongside the Beau Welling-designed West course is the East, built by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner, which measures over 7,800 yards from the championship tees and puts a greater emphasis on driving than the West, demanding length, accuracy and the courage to take on cross-bunkers and central hazards. The greens, perched above bunkers and chipping runoffs, are smaller and require controlled approaches, and the holes of the second nine prowl the basin of Panther Creek. Both courses opened in May 2023, and the East has already hosted the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship. It is set to host a number of other prestigious events, including the PGA Championship (2027, 2034), the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship (2025, 2031) and the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship again in 2029.

“a big golf course. Fairways generous, but the test comes from the greens. Big greens with man contours. Par 5 holes are def birdie holes. But must be in the fairway to attack the pins."

“Fields Ranch East is an excellent example of contemporary golf architecture. It truly excels in shot options and variety. As a result, it is a golf course that forces you to think and make decisions on many shots. Some stand out holes include the short par 4 7th and the par 3 13th. The risk/reward on the 7th is great, because you can be left with an awkward pitch or bunker shot to a very severe green if you miss with driver. However, a simple layup with an iron leaves a more comfortable wedge from 75-100 yards. Shots around the green are quite interesting as well with short grass on all sides. The green resembles number 3 at Augusta national, which offers many fun and differing hole locations. 13 is a great par 3, which also offers many hole locations and different shot choices, which is very rare for a par 3. The left is guarded by a very intimidating bunker. Playing out to the right is a safe bogey, or trying to hit a hard right to left shot will make birdies possible. The combination of wind, short grass, and large undulating greens creates an interesting set of challenges and decisions to make at Fields Ranch East. Incredibly fun golf course that is befitting of the current era of golf architecture."

“PGA Frisco is a top notch destination, filled with excellent hospitality, an amazing set of putting courses, a short course that is extremely fun, and two outstanding golf courses to play. The East Course is the proper challenge: walking only, forced carries, as long (or longer) than you want it to be. The greens are in excellent shape, but difficult to manage with many false edges and slick putts. The routing is excellent though, and there are a lot of different holes shapes and lengths."

“Hanse designed a course for the pros and analytical game of today with the creative and seemingly omnipresent use of red stakes. With that said, and if you keep that in mind, it's a really interesting golf course."

“Really good golf course with a nice selection of holes with a variety of shots required. Course was in great shape but maybe a little too much watering around the greens. Hard to play a bump and run due to dampness around the greens."

“This upscale public course is one of two courses at the Omni PGA Frisco Resort, both of which opened in 2023. Fields Ranch East course was designed by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner and meanders thru rolling hills and Panther Creek runs throughout the course. The green complexes are challenging for all levels of players. Fairways are generous, and rough can be challenging. The course plays long, especially depending on the winds. A good test and worthy of the championship golf events that have a been and will be held here in the future. Major Championships include: 2025 KMPG Women’s PGA Championship 2027 PGA Championships 2029 Senior PGA Championships 2031 KMPG Women’s PGA Championship 2034 PGA Championship"

“* Tie-in approaches from tee to green done very well. Since it being designed as a championship course, the pros will enjoy the walks straight onto the back tees. * 18 is a controversial hole that plays to an angled island fairway where the ball is prone to running long into the water. The second shot will always be a layup with a wedge shot needed on the third shot. Each of the par 5's are not gettable for the scratch player easily and each one features a narrow landing area where one would lay back with a 200 yard second shot. * There are not many angles featured on the tee shot. Dog legs are subtle and many holes play on the flat part of the property in contrast to the West course. * Impressed with the turf conditions given just over a year of grow in. The course played firm and fast. One caveat was that the approaches seemed to stick on the short iron shots in front of the greens at times and wouldn't allow you to bounce the ball on. * There are many lines of play on each of the holes contributing to the high shot options. It felt like it would take a few rounds to really understand what the best way to play certain holes would be. * Notable holes are #7 (plays similar to Augusta #3 with the green shape and shorter par 4), #13 (long par 3 to big green with many pin placements changing the club and strategy dramatically) & #15 (short par 4 with bunkers fronting perched green with a back bowl to funnel wedge shots to)"

“A championship test shouldn't be this fun! The East course walks the line between difficulty and fun better than almost any other course I've played before. The fairways are almost a perfect mix of width and narrowness - the proper angles still matter on some shots - lots of angles to play aggressive or conservative. Their are scoring opportunities and ball-busters. Besides being absolutely gigantic and spread out, it's really a course I'd enjoy playing over and over. - feel like 9 and 18 are kind of stinky holes and leave a bit of sour taste after each 9 - 7 and 15 are driveable par 4s and not sure they're the best examples of that type of hole as laying up would almost always be a worse option than driver - but they are both super fun, espeically 15 - the back 9 starts with 4 absolute monster holes, with hazards down the right the entire way it's a slicers nightmare - the entire vibe is a little off as you're just surrounded by homes/construction as far as the eye can see. It's a little dystopian"
