Private Golf Course Near Oklahoma City
The East Course
The East Course at Oak Tree Country Club is the championship test, far more exacting in its demands than the roomier West Course. The watery final stretch - the half-dozen holes heading toward the clubhouse - showcases the ferocity of the course. The East Course continues to serve as host venue for the highly-regarded Oklahoma Open, traditionally one of the most sought-after state titles in the land. Stalwarts like Bob Tway, Gil Morgan, David Edwards, Todd Hamilton and Lucas Glover are among the champions who have been crowned. The East Course is a tough slog from the outset. Forget the tips at nearly 7,100 yards; even from the 6,400-yard middle markers, the half-dozen front-side par-4s average 410 yards. It's a bunker-strewn landscape, humps and hollows wreaking havoc with shots drifting from the short grass. It's a stiff enough challenge, but merely a preamble to the watery finish. Four of the final six, including a pair of distinctive par-3s, are completely menaced by water.

Pro Tips
Large fairway awaits any first tee nerves. Good drive on this short par 4 leaves a wedge to very accessible green. Avoid front bunker or going long with back left pin placement.

GOLD 458
BLUE 432
WHITE 397
GREEN 380
Pro Tips
Long par 4 playing into traditional southeast wind. A good drive avoids bunkers on both side of fairway and leaves a solid mid to long-iron to a large elevated green. An up and down will be tough from short and right. Accuracy is a premium.

GREEN 343
Pro Tips
Downwind short par 4. Avoid the water on the left to leave yourself with a short wedge into a receptive green. Don’t get cute and leave it in the front pot bunker.

GOLD 560
BLUE 520
WHITE 473
GREEN 436
Pro Tips
First and only Par 5 on front nine. Aim at the famous Railroad box car to ensure you hit this fairway. Bunkers and OB left are only the start of the trouble. A creek runs diagonally through the approach landing area with large bunkers right and short of green, but a good drive makes this a reachable hole with long iron or wood.

Pro Tips
Short par 4 playing traditionally downwind. No need for driver unless you’re a big hitter. 3wood to the fairway leaves wedge approach. Small green demands accuracy as green falls away on all sides. Avoid front pot bunker.

Par: 3
Yardage by Tee:
GOLD 194
BLUE 178
WHITE 156
GREEN 123
Pro Tips
Tough opening par 3 that can play 15-20 yds longer due to wind. Multi-sectioned green makes putting an issue if you miss the right section. Don’t go long into back collection area and avoid large bunkers down the right side.

Pro Tips
Nice downhill par 4. Generous fairway for the conservative player. Aggressive players will need to avoid bunker and OB left and large bunker/mound complex straight-away. Downhill second makes club selection tough. With large collection area right and bunkers surrounding green accuracy is key.

GOLD 178

Pro Tips
Short par 3 with creek meandering down the hole and along left side of green. Deep bowl on left side of green protects front and back pin locations. Short irons need to be accurate to make birdie

GOLD 467

WHITE 349
GREEN 320
Pro Tips
Toughest driving hole on front nine. Lake on the left and OB right make accuracy off tee premium. Good drive leaves mid-long iron approach to well protected green. Bunkers short and right protect front of green with large drop collection area right. Make par and you’re picking up strokes on your competitors.

Pro Tips
Short par 4 to open back nine. Avoid the small hidden pot bunkers on right side off the tee and leave yourself a flip wedge to a very accessible green. Par here feels like a bogey.

GOLD 436

GREEN 295
Pro Tips
Slight dogleg left par 4 requiring a well struck drive to avoid trees left and OB right. Take a chance down the left-hand side to gain an additional 20yds of roll and leave yourself a short iron to green. Left side of green is blocked out by mounding left and protected by bunker on right. Find the right section of green for a makeable birdie. Par is a good score here.

Par: 5

Pro Tips
Second and final par 5 on the course. Playing straight downwind launch a good drive from elevated tee down to generous landing area. OB is tight to righthand rough along with a handful of bunkers so aim left and avoid a small fairway bunker. Longer hitters will be able to reach perched green in two. Tough green surrounds make up and down difficult so hit it to the middle and two putt for birdie.

Pro Tips
Short par 4 protected by two ponds and OB on the left. A good drive here can leave short iron to wedge depending on your club choice off the tee. Second pond wraps around right side of green that slopes towards the water. Narrow green makes accuracy a premium.

Pro Tips
Hardest par 3 on the golf course. Can play 150-240yds depending on the tee. Enormous multi-sectioned green awaits your tee shot. Pond fronts the entire green with difficult swells and grass bunkers along left and behind the green. Par here is always a good score.

Downhill par 4 with bunkers on the right and grass mounds on the left. Solid drive will leave a wedge into this large green. Trust your yardage.

Pro Tips
Starts the most difficult stretch of holes. Difficult tee ball with traditional left to right South wind. Elevated tee to large landing area protected by pond down the entire left side of the hole. Dogleg left second shot with green surrounded water left and trees right. Good drive leaves a mid-iron to a bi-section green. Make sure to be in the right section for good birdie look.

Pro Tips
Tight uphill slight dogleg right par 4. Creek and trees line the right side with OB left. Accurate long drive is a must to ensure mid iron approach. Multi-tiered green with false front makes second shot accuracy a must. Green protected by large Oak Tree over hanging front right portion. Cut the ball in there for a good birdie look.
