Course Report
The club hosted the 1953 U.S. Amateur Championship, a landmark event in the club’s legacy.
About
Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club, established in 1911 and set in Nichols Hills, features an 18-hole, par 71 Perry Maxwell design. Renowned for its classic tree-lined parkland layout and rolling terrain, the course provides a scenic and strategic test of golf for all skill levels. Its private, prestigious setting contributes to its recognition among Oklahoma's finest clubs.
Caddie Tip
Club selection is crucial, as Perry Maxwell’s design demands both precision and creativity, especially with elevated, sloping greens. Approach shots should favor below-the-hole positions, and taking safe lines away from the toughest bunkers off the tee frequently pays off. Read greens carefully—subtle breaks are common throughout the course.
The Main Challenge
The toughest challenge is navigating the narrow, tree-lined fairways and Maxwell’s undulating greens. Precise approach shots are required to hold slopes and avoid deep bunkers, while the routing tests every club in the bag. Wind can further complicate scoring, especially in the open stretches.
The Good
Players consistently praise the course's natural, rolling layout and the strategic demands it places on every shot. The storied Perry Maxwell design and mature tree lines deliver a classic parkland experience that combines challenge and charm, while its understated prestige makes every round memorable.
The Not So Good
Some members note that heavy tree cover can lead to slower turf recovery after storms, and the rolling terrain can create tough lies and uneven stances. Occasional overcrowding during peak member hours can affect pace of play. Greater flexibility in tee time policy would enhance the experience for all.
