We had a great time watching the tournement sitting below the trees on number 16. This is a fun hole to watch golfers go for the green in two!
Clubhouse VIP ticket does not guarantee a seat. Disappointing. $7.00 cheeseburgers that have no cheese. Clubhouse at 18th green ran out of snacks.
Overall it is a great event, we have attended for the last few years. Many new golfers in the field, finally its not all about tiger. The course really looked wonderful, we attended on Friday and was not a crowded as we were expecting. We went over to the Pavilion for food and a few beers. I realize the prices are not going to be reasonable ... its a golf event everyone has their hand in the till. The prices this year were through the roof ...... 35.00 for 5 Bud Lights? and then the server wants a 20% tip!!! The organizers really need to think about future customers will anyone really pay these prices. The band Friday night was great, funny, engaging, creative I was glad we stayed to watch and listen. Sorry to say the DJ Friday afternoon was very poor. Again not really looking around knowing his audience he was playing Metallica ?? How about some 80's party music?
Unless you score a free ticket, buying one to this event is not worth the money. Drinks are expensive and small, cheesy vendors unrelated to the crowd demographic, limited viewing and blah entertainment...at the end. Don't waste your money on a ticket and another $30 on parking. Plus they took my printed ticket at the door so I had no way of showing admission.
Went to the Byron both Saturday and Sunday. Was, as always, a wonderful, delightful experience. I really enjoy the grounds and the layout, the beautiful waterfalls. I will really miss it when it is no longer held in Irving. It has been such a long tradition for us here.
Finding parking in the direction we came from was challenging as the directions on the website said look for the HPBN signs. There was none heading east and the one heading west tracked so slowly that all we saw was GOLF PARKING. After a couple of attempts we found the parking. Food service was poor. There was no cheese for the cheeseburgers and the tongs for condiments had fallen into the grass. Mix that in with a group of twenty something guys who were rattling their beer in a bucket and shouting at troubled John Daly "Hey man a beer for that shot" along with aggressive wares hawkers as you enter the gate and you have a poorly organized and a somewhat disgraceful time that does not honor Byron. Golf was good though.
For $150 you effectively got free drinks. The seats were in the shade and views of the greens was fine but with the low turnout there was no issue finding a seat much closer to the action right up against the ropes. Just not worth the money.
Had a blast at the Byron!!! Followed Ben Crane...he is awesome!! For the most part, the golf community is the best!! There are far too many people only there for social and drinking and hooking up!!! But other than that, I loved the day I spent there!!
Great event, lots of candy, plenty of fun, great day.
AWESOME EVENT! Very well organized, yet relaxing and very classy!! Will definiately return!
This event was awesome , the course is immaculate, and the chance to watch up close and personal , all these top touring professionals from the comfort of the Capital One clubhouse was simply the best ! perched right atop the 17th hole with views of the 18th tee. Would recommend this venue highly !
Awesome PGA Tour Event. Can't wait to go again next year.
The Nelson is an annual event! I have been the past 13 years... Each year the experience gets better. I am looking forward to next year! The VIP pass is a "must have!"
I had a great time but wish they still sell those little sitting stools that you can carry around yourself
VIP villa was over by driving range it would have been nice to know this we would come earlier. Food was average at best! It would have been nice to have more of a selection and some kind of cold treats( ice cream lemon chills etc). Some shade over all the villa seating areas would be a great addition. Also a better way to keep tract of the rest of the holes would be nice.
love the BN...have gone every year for the last 15yrs!!
This was a no hassle trip to the parking lot and event. It was a well run PGA event with excellent management. I would go again, anytime.
The event was very well run. I enjoyed the beautiful day. Unfortunately, the venue is not the best for watching golf. It is hard to get a vantage point where you can track the hit balls. The course is laid out so that you get maximium walking from hole to hole. At 64 this was a little too much for me. Most tournaments I have attended gave me a better view of play.
The HP Byron Nelson Championship was a A+++ event. The food vendors were amazing. There were tons of places to get great views of the golfers and various holes. Will be attending next year!
The VIP package was fantasic!!! Hope it is offered next year, I'll be there. From the villa behind the driving range with breakfast and lunch provided to the reserved seating behind the 18th green it was a great time!! The beverages included in the price of the package was unexpected but a great benefit. The merchidise coupons were also a great benefit. The whole package was top notch!!!
