ABOUT THE RONNY GOLF PARK

The Ronny Golf Park - where everyone is welcome. Kids can learn the game through dedicated junior golf programs, families can have fun together, and our community can connect through the game of golf. The Ronny Golf Park is located on the Northern Texas PGA's homesite at PGA Frisco.

The Ronny Golf Park is truly the first of its kind! It is a two-acre, lighted golf park made entirely of fully synthetic turf. It can be played on in rain or shine, day or night. It is designed with junior golfers in mind, and our staff offers a variety of learning the game programs for children ages 3-14. However, it is free and open to the public when not in use for programs.

It features two, reduced-sized, replica 18th hole putting greens from the East and West Courses of PGA Frisco, two chipping greens, a third practice putting green, an 18-hole putting course, a private driving range, and a flex area with a playground and obstacle course specifically built for kids.

The Ronny Golf Park is named after Ronny Glanton, PGA, who has been the Head Professional at Sherrill Park Golf Course in Richardson, Texas, since 1985. He served as President of the Northern Texas PGA Section twice, the only professional in the Section's history to do so.
