Take your pick from two 18-hole championship golf courses.

Here's what's waiting for you at this dream destination:

Fore!
The resort boasts two 18-hole championship golf courses, collectively known as Fields Ranch. Fields Ranch East was designed by Gil Hanse, and Fields Ranch West by Beau Welling.

Registered hotel guests can book tee times 120 days in advance of their stay to play Fields Ranch, which will be home to 26 major championships starting in May and continuing through 2034.

More golf goodness
Not ready for the full 18-hole experience? Take a few practice swings at the Fields Ranch Practice Facility, then head to The Swing, a lighted 10-hole, par-3 short course, or The Dance Floor, a two-acre putting course and entertainment area.

This will also be the site of Frisco's first Lounge by Topgolf and PGA of America's new headquarters.

Take advantage of all that expertise at the PGA Coaching Center, which offers a high-tech, data-driven club-fitting and instruction experience.

A variety of retail and dining concepts throughout the mixed-use development, known as the Monument Realty PGA District, are also coming soon.

Say "spaaaa"
Omni’s signature full-service salon and spa, Mokara Spa, boasts 20 private treatment rooms, all dedicated to "The Art" collection.

The Art of Self Care encompasses Swedish techniques, deep therapeutic massages, and couple massages, plus the latest sports massage techniques and pressure point therapy for sports enthusiasts.

The Art of Skin Care offers facials that range from anti-aging and renewing to organic and calming, all blending natural beauty with advanced science and producing personalized results and a transformed feeling.

The Art of Salon Care encourages you to pamper yourself from head to toe with signature manicures and pedicures, specialized hair services, and artistic makeup services.

Guests can also treat their whole mind, body, and spirit at Green Cactus Cafe with wellness-driven foods including lite bites, healthy juices, elixirs, and sweet treats.

For a final indulgent touch, relax at the spa pool with private cabanas or recharge at the 24/7 fitness center and walking trails.

Dive in
Speaking of swimming pools, there are four total from which to choose. Families can post up at either of the two leisure pools, one of which features an attached splash pad.

Adults can gather at the child-free rooftop infinity pool and order up a cocktail from Bluestem Bar, all while enjoying panoramic views of the stunning fairways and Texas sky. Private cabanas are available at all pools for that VIP touch.

Stay a while
There's clearly too much to pack into one day, so you'd better book a room and stay for several. Omni PGA Frisco Resort features 500 luxurious guest rooms and suites with rates starting at $359 per night.

Those seeking a truly luxurious retreat can book one of the 10 four-bedroom private Ranch Houses, each with panoramic golf course views, upgraded amenities, and a 24/7 Experience Concierge for an added VIP service experience.

DFW expected to be 2nd busiest U.S. airport during 2025 holiday season

DFW is projected to handle more than 7.98 million passengers during the 2025 holiday travel season, the report found.

North Texas travelers should budget extra time if they're flying from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. DFW is expected to see the second-highest passenger numbers in the country this holiday season, a new report says.

According to transport services provider Transfeero, DFW is estimated to receive nearly 7.98 million passengers during the 2025 holiday season, up from 5.86 million on average over the last five years.

DFW Airport posted to social media on November 21 that they're expecting about 3 million travelers to pass through the airport during the Thanksgiving travel period alone, November 21-December 2.

To come up with its estimates and rankings, Transfeero's experts analyzed 2020-2024 travel data for the months of November and December across 29 major U.S. airports to predict passenger numbers for 2025. The report also calculated the average number of passengers from 2020-2024 during the last two months of each year, combined it with 2025 estimates, and determined the expected growth rate for the upcoming travel season.

DFW's predicted surge in passenger traffic is 40 percent higher than the five-year average, the data revealed. The report also expressed that the busy travel season confirms "DFW's role as the central cross-country connector."

"Serving as American Airlines’ main base, [DFW's] location between coasts makes it an essential layover hub for both domestic and international travelers," the report's author wrote.

DFW's projected holiday passenger traffic was only outdone by Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) in Atlanta, Georgia. ATL is expected to see about 10.43 million passengers from November-December 2025, compared to a five-year average of about 7.04 million passengers.

The U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics says November and December air travel often spikes by 20 percent or more when compared to the fall months.

"Every year, the final two months of the calendar bring a storm of travelers packing terminals, queuing for security, and racing to catch flights," the report said. "Between Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year’s Eve, airports across America transform into organized chaos, moving millions of passengers eager to reunite with loved ones or escape to warmer destinations."

Projected air travel at other Texas airports
Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) ranked No. 15 on the Transfeero's list of the country's busiest airports during the 2025 holiday travel season. From 2020-2024, IAH saw an average 3.19 million passengers during November and December, and the number of passengers this year is expected to increase by 43 percent to 4.58 million travelers.

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) ranked at the bottom of the list as the 28th busiest airport, despite passenger traffic expected to soar nearly 56 percent compared to previous years. An average 1.46 million passengers traveled through AUS during the months of November and December from 2020-2024, and the airport is expected to see over 2.27 million passengers during the same two-month period this year.

"The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) reported in 2024 that Thanksgiving weekend alone saw over 30 million travelers, setting a record," the report said. "With consumer confidence rebounding and international restrictions long lifted, 2025 is shaping up to be another record year."

The top 10 U.S. airports expected to handle the most passenger traffic during the 2025 holiday season are:

No. 1 – Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
No. 2 – Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport
No. 3 – Denver International Airport
No. 4 – Chicago O'Hare International Airport
No. 5 – Los Angeles International Airport
No. 6 – John F. Kennedy International Airport
No. 7 – Harry Reid International Airport
No. 8 – Orlando International Airport
No. 9 – Charlotte Douglas International Airport
No. 10 – Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport
