Well now, if you’re headin’ to the Byron Nelson Golf Tournament, let me tell ya, there’s a whole mess of things ya gotta know about park’n and gettin’ around. The good news is, they’ve got a bunch of spots to leave your car, so ya ain’t gotta worry too much about that. Lemme break it down for ya.
First off, the general park’n is at McKinney ISD Stadium, which is at 4201 S. Hardin Blvd. in McKinney. That’s a big ol’ place, so ya shouldn’t have no trouble findin’ a spot. You’ll probably have to walk a little bit, but ain’t nothin’ wrong with stretchin’ them legs after sittin’ in the car for a while. This spot is open for the public, and it’ll cost ya about $20 to park there on Wednesday.
Now, if ya get there a little later in the week, things get a little tricky. Parking right at the course, which is TPC Craig Ranch on 8000 Collin McKinney Parkway, ain’t gonna be so easy for the regular folks. But, don’t fret, because they’ve got other spots to park nearby. They do offer some park’n at Fair Park too, and they got a ride-share pick-up and drop-off real close to the entrance of the golf course. That’s a real handy option if ya don’t feel like walkin’ too far.
Parking Options:
- McKinney ISD Stadium (4201 S. Hardin Blvd.) – $20, only on Wednesday.
- Fair Park parking with ride-share pick-up/drop-off.
- Parking near TPC Craig Ranch, but limited spots available.
Ya might be wonderin’ if there’s any other way to get there. Well, there sure is! There’s always ride-shares like Uber or Lyft, and they’ve got spots right by the entrance for ya to get picked up or dropped off. So, if ya don’t feel like messin’ around with park’n, that’s a good option.
Oh, and don’t forget about the rules. They’re real strict about what kinda bags ya can bring in. No bags bigger than 6”x6” – that means no big ol’ purses or backpacks. And if ya think you can sneak in a big ol’ clear plastic bag or somethin’, think again. The biggest carryin’ bag you can bring in is 12”x6”x12”. So, keep it small if you want to get through the gates without a fuss.
Important Notes:
- No bags larger than 6”x6” – no backpacks, camera bags, or chair bags.
- No clear, plastic, or vinyl bags larger than 12”x6”x12”.

If you’re comin’ from outta town, be prepared for a bit of a crowd. The Byron Nelson always draws in the big names, so ya better believe there’ll be folks comin’ from all over. That means, ya gotta plan ahead, especially when it comes to park’n. With all these options, you’ll be able to find somethin’ that works for ya, just make sure ya get there early so ya don’t end up walkin’ a mile just to find a spot!
And when you’re there, don’t forget to enjoy the show! Past winners like Byron Nelson himself, Sam Snead, and Ben Hogan have all played at this tournament, so it’s somethin’ special. It’s a chance to see some of the best golfers in the world. You’re gonna have a good time, that’s for sure.
So, there ya go! Just make sure you’re ready with your parking plans, and keep them bags small. Once you’ve got that figured out, it’s smooth sailin’ for enjoyin’ all the action at the Byron Nelson!
