TPC Craig Ranch will host a PGA Tour event (AT&T Byron Nelson) for the first time in 2021. While it has hosted Korn Ferry Tour events in the past, this is a major breakthrough for the golf course in terms of gaining popularity. 

AT&T Byron Nelson: TPC Craig Ranch details

TPC Craig Ranch offers a breathtaking view to the fans and the golfers themselves. People often enjoy playing at the golf course owing to its “Bentgrass” greens and elongated fairways. 

The par-72, 7,468-yard golf course demands accuracy from the golfers as the bunkers and water hazards come into play in the layout. Texas is never short of windy conditions, and TPC Craig Ranch poses a major challenge in that regard. 

The fairways are Zoysia grass, and it would seem a bit dried up in the mornings and afternoons. However, the balls still receive proper bounce and carry, provided that the tee shots are hit with a good amount of power. 

Here’s a tabulated version of the 18-hole yardage at TPC Craig Ranch:
