TPC Craig Ranch

TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas, opened in 2004 as a private golf club within the Craig Ranch community, designed by Tom Weiskopf—a 1973 Open Champion with 16 PGA Tour victories who later became a prolific architect known for courses like Troon North in Scottsdale, Arizona—in collaboration with D.A. Weibring. The par-72 layout, stretching 7,438 yards, integrates native Texas landscapes, including Rowlett Creek and a preserved 1800s roadbed, earning recognition as one of Golf Digest's top 10 courses in Texas and Audubon Sanctuary certification. No previous names for the course are documented; it was developed by local developer David Craig specifically as a TPC network member operated by the PGA Tour. The club hosted the Korn Ferry Tour Championship in 2008 and 2012 before ClubCorp (now Invited) acquired it in 2019, investing to position it for PGA Tour events. In 2021, it became the venue for the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, extended through 2030, drawing record crowds like the 181,000 fans in 2025 when Scottie Scheffler tied the PGA Tour 72-hole scoring record at 31-under. A major renovation, the first since opening, began in 2024 under World Golf Hall of Famer Lanny Wadkins—overseeing bunker reshaping, green adjustments, new grasses, and enhanced creek play—and completed in December 2025 at a cost of $22-25 million, ready for the 2026 tournament.
