Dallas-Fort Worth, or DFW as it is better known, has become a golfing surprise. DFW has a host of great championship courses, like Bear Creek Golf Club with its two 18-hole courses or Hawks Creek Golf Club with its bent grass greens and Bermuda fairways. The nightlife is as big as the city, with top restaurants, rodeos, football and baseball to entertain visitors.
Aloft Las Colinas
The Aloft Las Colinas is close to the stadium if you are in town during football or baseball season. The 24-hour pantry is available to all of its guests, or enjoy a drink or two at the bar and in the evening spend some time listening to the remix music in the lounge. The hotel does not offer anything for golfers, but if you book your stay 21 days in advance, you can save 15 percent.
