Dallas
TPC Craig Ranch
Private tournament club
TPC Craig Ranch raises the ceiling if you can get on. It has PGA Tour visibility through the Byron Nelson and gives the trip a real private-club trophy round. But it is a private club, not a hidden public booking window. Spectating the Byron Nelson is a good add-on. Promising the group a tee time without access is trip-captain malpractice.
