Frequently Asked Questions

How does the A.W. Tillinghast design at Tulsa Country Club play today after its recent renovation?

The Tripp Davis renovation truly brought Tillinghast's original vision back to life, emphasizing strategic bunkering and challenging green complexes. You'll find a classic, walkable layout that demands thoughtful shot-making, rewarding precision over brute force. It's a fantastic example of golden age architecture preserved for the modern game.

What's the most significant challenge golfers will encounter at Tulsa Country Club?

Without a doubt, it's the greens. They are subtly contoured, often with false fronts and collection areas, demanding a sharp short game and excellent putting touch. Don't be surprised if you find yourself facing tricky up-and-downs, even from seemingly good approaches.

When is the best time of year to play Tulsa Country Club for optimal conditions?

We highly recommend visiting in the spring (April-May) or fall (September-October) when Oklahoma's weather is most agreeable. You'll avoid the intense summer heat and humidity, enjoying lush fairways and perfectly manicured greens under comfortable temperatures.

As a non-member, how can I arrange a round at Tulsa Country Club?

Tulsa Country Club is a private, member-owned course, so direct public access isn't available. Your best bet is to play as a guest of a member or inquire about reciprocal play if you belong to another private club. It's worth the effort to experience this gem.

What unique features or memorable holes should I look forward to at Tulsa Country Club?

Keep an eye out for the distinctive par-3s, especially the demanding 11th with its elevated green and the picturesque 17th over water. The course's mature tree lines and subtle elevation changes also create a beautiful, classic parkland feel that's truly unique to this Tillinghast design.
