Resort hotel · Denton County
"Set on 660 acres and opened in May 2023, this sprawling resort was quickly recognized in Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards and its T+L 500 list. Golf is the centerpiece: two 18‑hole championship courses (by Gil Hanse and Beau Welling), a short course, a large practice facility with a 12,000‑sq‑ft PGA Coaching Center, a two‑acre putting green and one of the country’s largest natural putting greens, plus indoor virtual play. Mokara Spa spans 15,000 square feet and offers whirlpools, saunas, steam rooms, a private pool with cabanas and golf‑focused treatments. Dining spans 13 outlets, from an upscale, cowboy‑chic steakhouse with a massive Swarovski horse chandelier and 45‑day dry‑aged cuts and wagyu to a sports‑bar–style Ice House where guests can eat Texas barbecue from six hitting bays; other options include The Apron (breakfast and brunch classics), Toast & Tee Coffee Collective and Green Cactus Café. The property has 500 rooms and suites plus ten four‑bedroom, 2,300‑sq‑ft Ranch House Villas with full kitchens and 24/7 concierge, and family amenities such as four kid‑friendly pools, a splash pad, family movie nights and an adults‑only rooftop pool. It regularly hosts large festivals and major golf events (including KPMG Women’s PGA Championship events and the PGA Championship in 2027), highlights accessibility with 15 accessible rooms and features sustainability measures like local sourcing, LED retrofits and EV investments. Located in Frisco roughly 29 miles from DFW Airport (about 32 miles from downtown Dallas), the resort participates in loyalty and American Express hotel programs; nightly rates start around $259." - Mae Hamilton Mae Hamilton Mae Hamilton is a digital editor covering hotels and lifestyle news at Travel + Leisure.
