That will be interesting for sure. Moved to Frisco in 1992. 5850 people...

There is a Catholic Church plus Frisco Bible Church, plus a rather large Cemetary that cannot be moved on that land...

It is also very low lying land which floods heavily when it rains...

I always wondered what would become of that land as I thought no way they could put a subdivision there because of the topology.

I can't wait!!! I live on the Trails GC now. Maybe I can get the first house over there, LOL, not gonna happen.

That's exactly what I was thinking for location.

Looks pretty obvious.


I would have assumed west of tollway also...

That is where we speculated because the City bought land there. The location, as reported by WFAA, is west of the Tollway and North of Panther Creek.

I was hoping it was West of toll way. I am on the Trails golf course, so I am less than a mile. Bring it On!!!

Update as of now.

PGA coming. Frisco has hired the architect/ person who built Legacy West. In short there going to build a Legacy North on steroids!

It will incorporate the 2 18 hole courses, a new high rise Omni hotel, complete business, food, shopping district along with housing from 300 to 1 million plus.

PGA event to be held here by 2025.

I am going to see if I can Weasle my way in to whatever board or group will be working with the PGA in any capacity. Will keep you posted.

It's official! Fired up, we live off Lefacy about 6 miles South of this! With The Star and Legacy West just a few miles away, we're happy to be nestled in the middle of this all.

This is the latest divide in the city where half the citizens are gonna be pissed, just like they were with the Star, which the FISD ponied up $30 million. Drastically lower to do this vs building a $70 million stadium to support the 10 high schools up here.

The energy this will help add to the economic momentum of the city will be great. If executives were teetering on where to relocate, i'm sure that being near the new PGA will have an impact.

Pga is now coming back and requesting more $$$ from Frisco. Something about news getting out, city demands being ridiculous, etc. (my wife was telling me about it last night...she handles major corporate relocations for the metroplex). It's still going to happen...just going to cost the city even more than anticipated.

Of course it is, and this will add more fuel to the fire that the taxpayers money is simply paying for someone's golf course and not the teachers and students in the FISD.

Meanwhile, every school has indoor football facilities and the best state of the art schools in the area.

So it's a given this thing will host two PGA Championships in the next 15 years?

Looking back, has anyone ever played the courses at the existing headquarters in Florida? Are they worth the trip?

Just wondering if I should check the place out before it probably begins to decline.
