Course Report
Cedar Ridge Country Club has hosted multiple professional tournaments, including the LPGA Tour—demonstrating its status as one of Oklahoma’s most challenging and prestigious venues.
About
Cedar Ridge Country Club, established in 1969 and designed by Joe Finger with later updates by Tripp Davis, is a highly regarded private club near Tulsa. Known for its demanding layout and smooth Cato-Crenshaw Bentgrass greens, Cedar Ridge offers an engaging test for all skill levels and is renowned for its strong community and outstanding practice facilities.
Caddie Tip
Conservative play pays off, especially on Cedar Ridge’s demanding approaches. Pay close attention to the slopes on the greens, especially those running back to front, and favor below-the-hole positions for manageable putts. The layout punishes wayward shots, so play to comfortable distances off the tee and avoid short-siding your approach.
The Main Challenge
Cedar Ridge is renowned for testing both distance and accuracy. Long, tree-lined par 4s and well-protected greens with slick bentgrass surfaces force precise shot-making. Haikey Creek and strategic bunkering come into play on several holes, while the prevailing winds and subtle elevation changes increase the golf IQ demanded.
The Good
Members and visitors alike praise Cedar Ridge for its expert course design, strategic challenge, and beautifully maintained greens. The course layout rewards thoughtful golfers, and its mature trees and subtle doglegs create exciting shot values throughout the round. The host club atmosphere adds a welcoming community touch.
The Not So Good
Common feedback centers around the challenging rough and occasional pace-of-play issues, particularly during busy periods and tournaments. The strong test can feel punishing for higher handicaps, and some would like to see improvements in bunker consistency or expanded amenities in peak season.
Signature Hole:
#
3
The third hole, a par 4, is Cedar Ridge's signature. Though not long, it is highly tactical, requiring precision from tee to green. Tee shots range up to 210 yards, with the approach played over a creek and stone wall to a tricky, two-tiered green sloping back to front toward the water. Club selection and nerve are crucial.
Clubhouse
The clubhouse offers upscale locker rooms, dining, private event spaces, and pro shop. Social events and member services are first rate, and the facility supports both casual and formal gatherings, making it a hub for club culture and community.
Practice Facilities
Cedar Ridge provides a full spectrum of practice features: an expansive driving range, large putting and chipping greens, and the Buddy Phillips Learning Center with TrackMan simulators. Members benefit from top instruction, private lessons, and dedicated practice areas to hone every aspect of their game.
