New & Notable
Frisco, Texas is one of the fastest growing cities in the country. Looking ahead, there are numerous projects currently under construction and in the works including new hotels, attractions, as well as shopping and dining options for residents and visitors.

Beach Gardens, Florida, to Frisco, Texas, where it will anchor a 660-acre mixed-use development
with a public-private investment worth more than half a billion dollars.
The new PGA of America headquarters is open and home to national player development and
coaching programs. PGA Frisco is planning to host an unprecedented cadence of championships,
with 23 already in the books for a 13-year span.

adults-only rooftop infinity pool), Lounge by Top Golf, and over 127,000 square feet of indoor
