2. Book a Round at Cowboys Golf Club

Etched into Grapevine's rolling hills, Cowboys Golf Club is the first and only NFL-themed golf club in the world, and one of the region's only all-inclusive world-class resort golf properties. The club is open to the public seven days a week for golf, dining, hospitality and private events, ranging from weddings and golf tournaments to corporate outings, fundraising galas, business meetings, holiday parties and other special occasions. Dad will absolutely love grabbing a bite a the Ring of Honor Kitchen at the turn.

3. Treat him to a manly massage

Did you know that most spas offer specific treatments just for men? Pamper dad with a massage, pedicure, scrub or facial this Father’s Day. Some of our favorites are the Adolphus spa which offers a full men’s manicure and pedicure, or the Hotel Crescent Court which has an array of men's services like their Sports Massage. The scrub is designed to increase circulation and purification with body brushing, exfoliation, therapeutic oils and mud. You can also just get him a classic Four Seasons Signature Massage at the Four Seasons in Las Colinas, because sometimes a basic massage is all he needs.

Reserve dad some time at the new Texas Card House for some poker! To get through the legal loopholes around gambling in Texas, you can pay a membership fee and then pay an hourly or daily rate for a seat at the table. It's also BYOB!

Take an afternoon to throw the ball on the field or admire the works of art in AT&T Stadium.
