The New Home of Golf

Sink a hole-in-one with a Frisco golf getaway that's fit for the pros

If you're someone who likes to hit the links and dreams of a vacay where "driving" isn't just a way of getting there, consider Frisco for your next golf getaway.

World-class courses designed by Tom Fazio, Gil Hanse, and Beau Welling, coupled with remarkable golf resorts, make Frisco an unmatched Texas golf destination.

Of course, this North Texas community is also the home of PGA Frisco, a public-private partnership that brings together PGA of America, Omni Hotels & Resorts, the City of Frisco, and the Frisco Independent School District.

Those not ready to get on the golf course will find plenty to love about their Frisco golf getaway. An array of dining options, poolside experiences, luxurious spa treatments, shopping, and more await, along with everything from family-friendly outings to music and art.

Texas falls out of gear as a top summer road-trip destination

Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo is a popular stop for road trippers heading out of Texas.

Two years after Texas accelerated to the No. 1 spot as the top state for summer road trips, it's now losing some steam.

The Lone Star State has ranked 8th on WalletHub's 2025 list of "Best & Worst States for Summer Road Trips," with Minnesota climbing through the ranks to claim the No. 1 spot this year.

Each year, the report compares all 50 states to figure out which are the most wallet-friendly, safe places to travel with plenty of fun activities for all. The report analyzes factors that road trippers prioritize for their trip plans, such as the average gas prices in each state, the type of attractions in each state, and more.

Despite Texas' overall drop in the national ranking, the state still performed particularly well in the category of "attractions," ranking No. 4 nationwide. WalletHub has previously praised Texas' family-friendly activities such as zoos and amusement parks, while the beach remains a popular choice for travelers that need a coastal getaway.

Texas also earned a high rank - No. 10 - for its various vacation costs, with the report specifically calling out high gas prices and inflation rates as major concerns for travelers this summer.

"[Gas prices have] remained high this year, with the national average at over $3.130 per gallon now," the report's author wrote. "On top of that, [travelers will] need to consider accommodations, activities and dining, all of which continue to be impacted by inflation."

Texas didn't do nearly as well when it comes to safety, ranking 39th for the second year in a row (though the report didn't explain why). Factors included the road quality in each state, the number of car thefts per 1,000 residents, the number of uninsured drivers, and the rate of violent crimes per 1,000 residents.

Despite Texas' relatively low safety ranking, WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo says states like Texas were dubbed the best places for road trips because they "keep costs low while providing the best driving experience and most fun activities."

The top 10 best states for summer road trips in 2025 are:

No. 1 – Minnesota
No. 2 – New York
No. 3 – Ohio
No. 4 – Utah
No. 5 – Louisiana
No. 6 – Florida
No. 7 – Idaho
No. 8 – Texas
No. 9 – North Carolina
No. 10 – Pennsylvania
