Course Report
A.W. Tillinghast—one of golf’s most celebrated architects—was behind Oaks’ original design, making it one of a handful of classic Tillinghast tracks in the Midwest.
About
Oaks Country Club, located in Tulsa and designed by renowned architect A.W. Tillinghast, features a classic 18-hole parkland layout with rolling fairways and a natural routing along Parthenia Lake Dam. Known for its strategic interest, recent restoration highlights the traditional Tillinghast design, making this private course both enjoyable and challenging for all skill levels.
Caddie Tip
Course management is essential at Oaks Country Club, as the routing makes use of natural land contours and subtle elevation changes. Focusing on positioning off the tee, especially on the tighter holes, can prevent trouble, while taking extra care on approach to elevated greens will help avoid short-sided misses.
The Main Challenge
The layout’s greatest challenges stem from its undulating greens and frequent elevation changes. Strategic bunkering and tree-lined fairways reward accuracy, and the course finishes with a demanding stretch where closing holes punish wayward drives and approach shots. Greenside recovery play is a consistent test.
The Good
Members and guests consistently praise the authentic Tillinghast design and the scenic, natural land movement. The strategic layout makes every round interesting, especially for those who appreciate classic architecture and enjoy a walk over undulating terrain.
The Not So Good
Golfers sometimes note a few bunkers could drain faster after heavy rain, and feedback occasionally suggests tee boxes could use more leveling. Opportunities also exist to enhance the practice facility surfaces and overall clubhouse modernization.
