Course Report
The practice facility features three par 3 holes maintained to match the championship course, allowing members to hone their short game in realistic conditions.
About
The Territory Golf & Country Club in Duncan, Oklahoma, is a private 18-hole course designed by Randy Heckenkemper and opened in 2003. Set on 640 acres of rolling pasture, the course features Bermuda fairways, Bentgrass greens, dramatic bunkering, numerous ponds, and the meandering Stagestand Creek. Known for premium conditions and a strong practice facility, it offers a classic parkland experience.
Caddie Tip
Focus on smart course management, especially when navigating the creek and bunkers that come into play on several holes. Keep your driver in play to avoid the rocky outcrops, and pay extra attention to approach shots on holes with raised greens, as recovery can be challenging if you miss long or short-sided.
The Main Challenge
Territory's primary challenge lies in its natural defenses—strategic bunkering, raised greens, and water hazards, especially Stagestand Creek, require precise shot placement. The expansive fairways are inviting, but poorly placed drives can find bunkers or native rough, making recovery difficult.
The Good
Golfers consistently praise the serene setting and routing, with rolling terrain and natural water features creating both challenge and beauty. The friendly, uncrowded atmosphere, especially through the Stay & Play program, appeals to those seeking a private club experience without feeling rushed or crowded.
The Not So Good
Some visitors have noted that the remote location can make access and logistics a bit challenging for out-of-town guests. During peak Oklahoma summers, heat and wind can impact course conditions and comfort, particularly on more exposed holes.
Signature Hole:
#
15
The par 5 15th hole is a standout, measuring 535 yards with a demanding layout. Its approach plays over Stagestand Creek, which guards the front of a well-protected green. Strategic play is required for a birdie chance, with risk-reward options off the tee and on the approach.
Clubhouse
Expect a spacious, well-appointed clubhouse with a full-service restaurant, bar, locker rooms, pro shop, and private event spaces. Villa accommodations are available just steps from the first tee for Stay & Play guests.
Practice Facilities
The course offers a top-tier 11-acre practice facility with a bi-directional driving range, three par 3 short-course holes, a large two-tier short game area with bunkers, and a 15,000 square foot putting green; all maintained to main course standards.
