PGA Frisco Quotables: What They're Saying About the Future of the PGA of America

Published on

Excitement is building for the opening of PGA Frisco.
The East & West Championship courses will anchor the future home of the PGA of America, which will also offer the best coaching, player development and education resources for PGA Golf Professionals in the country.
Take a moment to listen to Jim Richerson, PGA of America President, Beau Welling, Founder and CEO of Beau Welling Design, Gil Hanse, President of Hanse Golf Course Design, and Jimmy Terry, Senior Director of PGA Golf Properties on what makes PGA Frisco so unique.

I think one of the things that’s unique about our game is that you as a maybe not so good player get to play the same venue that some of the world’s best will play… I think catering to both ends of that spectrum is something that’s very important.

I’ve not shown anyone around yet that doesn’t just say ‘Wow.’ They’re truly impressed by the scope and scale of the facility.

This in some way, shape or form long term becomes the St. Andrews of American Golf…

We look forward to seeing the golf courses open and the entire project and all it’s going to mean not only to our Association, but to the greater game of golf.
