Dallas-Fort Worth or Dallas Love Airport
The locals will tell you, Dallas Love Airport is a much smoother process. However, you must fly Southwest into this Airport. Southwest does include 2 complimentary checked bags and 2 carry-ons per person. Perfect if you plan on bringing your golf clubs ;)
DFW is a much larger airport with many more flight options, but it tends to be a lot more chaotic.
We suggest getting a rental car if you plan on sightseeing at all. We personally added our car rental onto our flight and saved quite a bit of money. Tip: If you plan on exploring around the city of Dallas, we recommend purchasing the toll fees with your rental. In Dallas, they can change toll fare based off of road congestion.

There is so much to do in Frisco: one of Texas' most loved cities, with over 70 miles of hiking trails, restaurants, live bands, and more.
Frisco is where "Welcome Cocktails" will be on Wednesday night. It also is where the room block of discounted rooms will be at The Hall Park Hotel, Drury Inn & Suites, and the Hyatt.
After Party: The Frisco Bar - "Where old friends meet and new friends are found". This locally-owned, neighborhood dive bar had us feeling right at home with live karaoke and amazing service.
Located across the street from The Hall Park Hotel - 6750 Gaylord Parkway Ste. 120, Frisco, Texas 75034
One of the highly recommended activities is to visit the The Star: Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters. The Star is conveniently located right next to the hotels.
