Whether you are an avid golfer or a social member seeking the lifestyle, understanding the PGA Frisco membership structure is essential before purchasing at Fields.
Membership Tiers Explained
PGA Frisco offers multiple membership levels to accommodate different lifestyles and budgets. Understanding the differences is crucial for maximizing your investment and enjoyment.
PGA Frisco Membership Tiers:
National Membership — Full golf privileges on both Fields Ranch East and West courses. Priority tee times. Access to member-only events and tournaments. Practice facilities. Locker room access. Guest privileges.
Golf Membership — Full playing privileges on championship courses. Tournament participation. Range and short game area access. Member dining privileges.
Social Membership — Access to clubhouse dining and social events. Limited golf privileges (select times). Ideal for non-golfers who want the social experience. Pool and fitness access.
Junior Membership — Available for younger members. Reduced initiation fees. Junior golf programming and development.
Pricing and Initiation Fees
Membership pricing at PGA Frisco reflects its status as PGA of America's premier residential golf destination. Here is what to expect:
Estimated Membership Costs:
National Membership Initiation: Contact PGA Frisco directly for current pricing — initiation fees for national-level memberships at comparable clubs range from $50,000 to $150,000+
Golf Membership Initiation: Typically ranges from $25,000 to $75,000 depending on tier and availability
Social Membership Initiation: More accessible, generally $5,000 to $15,000
Monthly Dues: Vary by tier from $300 to $1,500+ per month
Fields residents may receive preferential pricing and reduced initiation fees — a significant benefit of purchasing within the community
Membership initiation fees at premier golf clubs typically appreciate over time. Early members at courses like Augusta National, Vaquero, and Dallas National saw their membership values increase substantially as the community matured.
Resident vs. Non-Resident Benefits
Living at Fields provides tangible advantages over non-resident membership:
Priority tee times and booking windows for Fields residents
Reduced initiation fees and preferential monthly dues
Walk-on access to practice facilities from your neighborhood
Golf cart access from home to the course via community trails
Exclusive resident-only social events and programming
Enhanced access during PGA Championship weeks
Integration with Brookside Club amenities ($14M amenity center)
Gil Hanse and Beau Welling Championship Course Details
The two championship courses at PGA Frisco are designed by internationally acclaimed architects and built to host the world's most prestigious events.
Fields Ranch East — Designed by Gil Hanse:
Gil Hanse is one of the most celebrated golf course architects alive, known for designing the 2016 Olympic Course in Rio de Janeiro
Fields Ranch East is the primary venue for major PGA championships including the 2027 PGA Championship
The course features dramatic elevation changes, strategic bunkering, and championship-caliber greens
Par 72, 7,200+ yards from the championship tees
Fields Ranch West — Designed by Beau Welling:
Beau Welling is a protege of Tom Fazio and a rising star in golf course architecture
The West course provides a complementary experience with wider fairways and a more player-friendly design
Also hosts PGA-sanctioned events and provides an exceptional daily playing experience
Both courses combined provide 36 holes of championship golf accessible to members
Tournament Access and Viewing Opportunities
One of the most exciting benefits of Fields membership is proximity to — and access during — major PGA Championship events. Members and residents enjoy advantages that general ticket holders do not:
Priority ticket access for major championships hosted at PGA Frisco
Member-only viewing areas and hospitality during tournament weeks
Walk to the course from your home during PGA Championship events — no traffic or parking hassles
Opportunities to watch players like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Jon Rahm compete steps from your front door
Preserve homeowners with golf course frontage may have direct views of championship play from their property
Dining and Social Club Benefits
Beyond golf, PGA Frisco membership opens the door to an exceptional social and dining experience. The clubhouse and Omni PGA Frisco Resort create a resort-style lifestyle for members and residents.
Clubhouse dining with chef-curated menus featuring seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients
Private event spaces for celebrations, business meetings, and gatherings
Member-only social events: wine dinners, golf clinics, holiday celebrations, networking mixers
Omni PGA Frisco Resort access: 13 restaurants and bars, Mokara Spa, 4 resort pools, fitness center
Family programming including junior golf, swim lessons, tennis and pickleball clinics
How Membership Transfers with Home Sale
Understanding membership transferability is important for both buyers and future sellers. The ability to transfer or convey a membership with a home sale adds tangible financial value to your property.
Membership transferability policies vary by tier — consult with PGA Frisco for specific transfer provisions
At comparable clubs, transferable memberships add $50,000 to $200,000+ in perceived home value
Homes marketed with golf membership access consistently sell faster and at higher prices than non-member homes in the same community
Understanding the membership transfer process is critical during contract negotiations — your REALTOR should address this during the purchase
