Few modern courses in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex carry the name recognition of a TPC property, and Craig Ranch brings that Tour-level pedigree to McKinney, one of the fastest-growing cities in America. The layout serves as the permanent home of the AT&T Byron Nelson, a PGA Tour event steeped in the legacy of one of Texas's most beloved champions. Hosting a Tour stop means the conditioning standards are relentless — fairways and greens maintained to a specification most courses never approach.
McKinney sits in Collin County, north of Dallas where the rolling Cross Timbers terrain gives way to the broad, open prairie of North Texas. The course works through the Craig Ranch master-planned community, so mature trees, water features, and elevation changes give the layout more visual variety than the flat surrounding landscape might suggest.
As a TPC Stadium Course, it is designed with spectators in mind — wide corridors, natural amphitheaters around key greens, and a closing stretch built for drama. Recreational players get to walk the same ground Tour professionals compete on each spring.
