Sensational summer staycations are brimming at Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa in Frisco from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.

Monica Smiley, CHDM, Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa director of marketing, says guests can experience the SUMMER OF GLOW, an enchanting mix of rejuvenating activities, kid's crafts, happy hours and varied entertainment. Overall, weekend glow parties allow guests to play 9-holes of mini golf on a course lit up with neon colors or to gather around the glow of firepits to roast perfect s'mores. Every Saturday night, the resort hosts synchronized, mesmerizing drone shows in the sky.

“However, for Fourth of July festivities, the drone show will be on Friday, July 4, rather than Saturday, July 5,” she states.

This year, Glow parties are being hosted each Friday and Saturday evening, she adds. These include glow golf on the 10th Fairway Terrace, pool games, drone shows lighting up the skies and complimentary s'mores.

“While staying at Omni PGA, guests also can enjoy playing two 18-hole championship golf courses (Fields Ranch East and Fields Ranch West). Additionally, golfers can delight in The Swing, a lighted 10-hole, par-3 short course,” she says.

For more levity, Monica reminds that The Dance Floor provides a 2-acre putting course and entertainment area.

Furthermore, this active Frisco location offers four on-site pools, including an adults-only rooftop infinity pool.

“The resort’s on-site Mokara Spa can be booked for revitalizing, full-service treatments,” Monica adds.
