Terrible venue for golf tournament. Not patron friendly. Too difficult to get to.
The event was not near as fun at the new course. Oh yeah, the new course s. is aweful too.
Go back to the other venue... tents, device, logistics, viewing, and many other things were significantly worse
Have been curious about Trinity Forest since it has been complete. Drove to Fairpark to catch the shuttle. Very organized. Got right on and was at Trinity Forest in 15 minutes. They were right when they said there are no trees and no water. The stands were always available and it was a breezy nice day. We lucked out. When we left on Saturday we went to catch the bus back to Fairpark and once again, very organized. They had buses lined up as far as you could see. Will go again.
Need to work on Uber pickup and drop Off. Create more shade
This was a beautiful golf course! The hospitality tents both VIP and those open to GA were great fun and offered a wide variety of food and beverages. Watching the pros play golf was a lot of fun! Signage was clear and the air-conditioned tents were awesome!
My first time goingbit was amazing! Can't wait until next year.
Expensive drinks, incredibly inept "bartenders" taking 10 minutes to pour a drink that is on the menu, and outrageously overcrowded. I saw people reusing tickets over and over again to get all their friends in. No oversight on whether a ticket had been used or not. Lines were worse than outside the Grey Goose lounge. People who were working the event came into the lounge to watch golf. Not worth the money. Bathrooms were too few-probably because of the extra crowd. Very little room to actually watch golf. unobstructed. So many people were let into the Grey Goose lounge that didn't have legitimate tickets that I barely even got the chance to sit in a seat or view the action. If control was kept, they wouldn't be half bad on 19. On 17, view of the hole was blocked by trees. I missed golfers putting because I was in a 30-45 minute long line for a drink, and missed the final round final hole standing behind all of the people who didn't have legitimate tickets and the people working there- because they wanted to see the action. Unacceptable.
We enjoyed the golf tournament and watching the golfers. Once you're into the event, you can go wherever you like on the course.
Hubby & I try to go to the AT&T Byron Nelson Golf Tournament every year. Sad to know this was the last event. We each won Byron Nelson tribute tshirts but unfortunately hubby's is messed up and he's truly bummed. The event is a lot of fun and crowds are great. They staff & volunteers are awesome.
This event & venue are a great location for the Byron Nelson tournament !
For those of you that love golf, the Byron Nelson Golf Tournament never ceases to impress me. This is the third year in a row I have attended and I absolutely love the set up on the greens. The panels were larger this year due to hometown favorite, Jordan Spieth, playing in the tournament. The weather was fantastic as we followed Tim Wilkinson from Friday thru Sunday. He ended up in top ten and it was exciting to watch him play.
We enjoyed the opportunity is watch pros play. The Las Colinas Course was amazing. We went on Friday, so there weren't as many people as Saturday & Sunday. We didn't have to wait for anything. The only thing that we didn't realize was that they had changed tee times and we missed seeing some of the players we hoped to see. We had checked the internet site the night before and it showed Jordan Speith teeing off at 10:20. When we arrived at the course and checked the booklet, he had tee'd off at 7:20. He was already on his last hole when he should have been on his 9th hole. Parking was about 2 miles away, but it was free and the buses were plentiful and it was only a 10 minute ride to the course and they dropped you off right at the gate. This was our first PGA Tournament.
It was such a fun event! Very good setup and well organized. Loved the complimentary parking too. This was my first year to go and will be making it a yearly tradition now!
Very organized. Wish there was more seating around the greens.
When purchasing Grey Goose Lounge tickets online, the event's website description noted that there was stadium seating (first come, first serve), a standing lounge, climate controlled tent, private restrooms, premium liquors, and concessions available for purchase, with a limited number of tickets for sale. While we certainly did not expect a seat or high top table to be available for us, we were horrified by the amount of people in the lounge. It was packed shoulder-to-shoulder, including children, when the lounge was supposed to be 21+ (according to the sign outside the lounge on-site). The line for the bar was 25 people deep at each point of sale, and the bar only sold Grey Goose product; we did not even see water for sale, though abandoned the line after ten minutes of standing in one spot. The restroom line was as long, if not longer, than the public portable toilet line. There were absolutely no concessions for sale in the lounge; there were also no snacks to assist with hungry guests since food was not being sold as promised. The tent was not enclosed, which made climate control nearly impossible. We stayed in the tent for less about half an hour total; all that time was spent in either the bar line or the restroom line. We ended up finding shorter lines and more space on the greens of 17 & 18 and spent our day there. I have requested a refund from the tournament for the additional $30 per ticket that was charged for this "premium" access, though have received no response.
I splurged for the lounge ticket over the standard grounds ticket because I thought in the event of rain or oppressive heat, my dad and I could escape in the lounge area. What neither of us realized is that it's largely used as a spot for boozing and social hangouts - not watching the tournament. When we tried to go find seats the lounges were completely packed. There were no seats available. I like the idea of being able to spend extra money to buy a guaranteed seat. We ended up sitting on the green in front of the lounge so I'm not sure that I would do that again. Next time just go for the grounds ticket - if you're actually interested in watching the tournament.
It was nice, but it was too wet out there! The course was wet and it was cool too! The golf course is nice and the Cadillac privillan was great! A must go if you are a true golf fan!
Not worth the upgrade to Grey Goose Lounge. Very small area with extremely limited sight lines. Only serve Vodka, so if you want a bee or something else, you have to go outside. I have been to much better upgraded area at other courses.
Firstly, when we arrived at the venue with our tickets, the parking attendant gave us the wrong directions to the Red Lot, and also we have paid for VIP service and expected VIP parking. Secondly the venue on the 17 & 18th hole was not as comforting, and the design was poor and uncomfortable. There should have been food served inside the clubhouse, and the sings were not clear enough as to where to go for the guests. Overall, the event was great, but the hospitality and help should have been better at the venue. We went on Saturday from 3-6pm.
