Northern Texas PGA Breaks Ground on New Office at PGA Frisco
The Northern Texas PGA is excited to announce that ground has officially broken in Frisco for the Section’s new office building that is set to open in 2022.
At the end of 2018, it was announced that the Frisco City Council approved a new development that included The PGA of America relocating its headquarters to the City of Frisco. In addition to housing the PGA of America’s headquarters campus, the development is also set to include an Omni resort and 46-holes of golf. The facility is called PGA Frisco.
PGA Frisco will also become the home to the Northern Texas PGA and the Northern Texas PGA Foundation. The Northern Texas PGA Board of Directors and executive staff broke ground on this project today after The PGA of America’s team officially broke ground on the PGA Frisco project earlier in the week.
“It was great to finally begin the project that our membership has been looking forward to getting underway for months now,” said Ronny Glanton, President of the Northern Texas PGA. “Since the announcement last November, North Texas has been buzzing with excitement to get this project going, and no one has been more eager than the men and women PGA professionals who make up the Northern Texas PGA. It was special to be a part of this moment.”
The RFQ for the architects has been completed. The Ratliff Group is managing the construction of the new NTPGA headquarters.
“We could not be more thrilled to start this next chapter in our Section’s history,” said Mark Harrison, Executive Director and CEO of the Northern Texas PGA. “The entire PGA Frisco project has been a long journey, so to see these ideas becoming realities is truly remarkable. We are eager to get the project underway because our team will be able to better execute our mission of serving the PGA Member and growing the game with a new, state of the art complex.”
