Craig Ranch, McKinney
A golf-and-fitness master-planned community built around TPC Craig Ranch — diverse housing from townhomes to custom estates, right on the SH-121 corridor.
The vibe
Golf, fitness and a short commute to the Frisco job corridor
Craig Ranch is organized around TPC Craig Ranch — the tournament course that hosts the PGA Tour’s Byron Nelson — and that golf-and-fitness identity runs through the whole community. It sits in the far southwest corner of McKinney, right against the SH-121 (Sam Rayburn Tollway) corridor, which puts the Frisco and Plano job centers within an easy drive.
Housing is deliberately varied: townhomes and lock-and-leave options, mid-range family homes, and custom estates backing the course. That range makes Craig Ranch flexible — it works for a young professional near the fitness campus and for a family wanting a bigger home a few streets over.
The lifestyle draw is real. Beyond the TPC course, there’s the Cooper Fitness Center & Spa, medical and office space, and walkable retail — an unusual amount of day-to-day life inside one community. What you trade is the settled, tree-lined feel of an older neighborhood; Craig Ranch is newer and more contemporary in look.
Who it fits
- Golfers and anyone who wants a fitness-and-wellness lifestyle built in
- Professionals commuting to the Frisco / Plano / Legacy corridor via SH-121
- Buyers who want housing flexibility — townhome, family home, or custom estate
- Lock-and-leave buyers who want low-maintenance options near amenities
Who it doesn’t
- Buyers who want mature trees and a decades-established streetscape
- Anyone wanting acreage or a large private lot
- People who’d rather not live near tournament-week traffic and crowds

Product type varies widely
Townhome, patio home, family home and custom estate all live inside Craig Ranch, with very different HOA situations and price-per-foot. Know exactly which product you’re buying.

Tournament week is a real thing
When the Byron Nelson is in town, expect crowds and traffic around the TPC course. It’s a few days a year, but factor it in if you’re on or near the course.
-
HOA and amenity access
Confirm what your HOA dues cover, and whether fitness or golf memberships are separate. Amenity access differs by section.
-
Newer construction, current finishes
Most of Craig Ranch is 2000s-and-newer. That’s a plus for systems and efficiency, but landscaping is younger than in established McKinney neighborhoods.
