Frequently Asked Questions

How can I play Oak Tree National if I'm not a member?

This is a private club, so your best bet is to know a member who can invite you as a guest. Don't expect to just call up and book a tee time; it's an exclusive experience. If you're serious about playing, start networking with local golfers.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Oak Tree National?

Pete Dye designed Oak Tree National to be a beast, and it lives up to that reputation. Expect incredibly demanding tee shots, deep bunkers that swallow balls whole, and greens that will test your putting stroke to its absolute limit. This course isn't for the faint of heart, so bring your A-game and plenty of extra balls.

When is the best time of year to play Oak Tree National to avoid extreme weather?

Oklahoma weather can be wild, so we recommend targeting late spring (April-May) or early fall (September-October) for your visit. You'll find more comfortable temperatures and less chance of the intense summer heat or unpredictable winter cold. Always check the forecast, as conditions can change quickly.

What makes Oak Tree National's design stand out from other championship courses?

Pete Dye's signature style is everywhere, from the dramatic bunkering to the strategic use of water and railroad ties. The course demands precision and rewards smart play, especially around the par-3 14th with its island green feel, and the challenging finishing holes. It's a masterclass in Dye's intimidating yet brilliant architecture.

Is Oak Tree National a walkable course, or should I plan on riding a cart?

While you can certainly walk Oak Tree National, it's a long and demanding track with significant distances between some greens and tees. We recommend taking a cart unless you're in excellent shape and want the extra workout. The focus here is on the challenge of the golf, so don't let fatigue detract from your experience.
