The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas - TPC Las Colinas

About
Big names have been involved from the beginning, including Robert Trent Jones, Jr., Jay Morrish, Ben Crenshaw, Tom Watson, and Byron Nelson, each of whom has collaborated to build the home of the PGA Tour’s Byron Nelson Classic.
Mr. Nelson’s tourney is held on the TPC Course, which has always been considered one of the top TOC courses and consistently features some of the best playing conditions of any tournament on tour. Playing to only a par 70, 7,166 yards from the tips, the design is highlighted by rolling fairways, extensive bunkering, and greens that are framed by grassy mounds.
On the front, No. 8 is one of the best holes: a 400-yarder with water along the left side and bunkers in play on right. Water surrounds the well-bunkered green. On the back No. 17 has been upgraded in recent years with the addition of a huge lake, creating an ominous view from the tee of this 217-yard par 3.

TPC Four Seasons
Former host course of the Byron Nelson. Course is currently in great shape from tee to green. Even in the middle of a Texas summer the greens have no dead spots and roll true. The staff is exceptional, everything you would expect from a TPC course.
A PGA Tour experience to be sure
OK, so this might not be the favorite course on the PGA Tour, but it's still pretty interesting, has a lot of good holes and is almost always in great shape. A lot of designers have had their hands on this in recent years, including Jay Morrish, D.A. Weibring and Ben Crenshaw, and I think it's definitely improved with each step, especially the 18th. If you get a chance, play it. And if you can stay at the Four Seasons, even better. It's still one of the classiest resorts in Texas.
