Caddie’s Note:
Sitting just outside the Pro Shop door, this elevated tee points directly to downtown Tulsa. The ideal landing area for the slight dogleg left is just right of the two fairway bunkers that guard the left side. The green, which slopes from front to back and right to left, is protected by a large bunker on the front right. 

Caddie’s Note:
The tee shot on his demanding driving hole must carry both bunkers and a winding creek that turns and parallels the left side of the fairway. The carry over the creek and bunkers can be avoided by playing down the left portion of the split fairway, but the approach is more difficult. Players usually face a longish second shot to reach this well-bunkered green. 

Caddie’s Note:
This sharp dog-leg left requires a well-placed tee shot favoring the right portion of the fairway to avoid rough, trees, and a creek running down the left side. Bunkering and pin positions demand a skillful approach to a severely slopped green.

Caddie’s Note:
This picturesque short par-4 features a rolling fairway leading to a heavily bunkered and elevated green. Approach shots are made more difficult by the absence of level lies, while the severe back-to-front slope of the green puts a premium on leaving the ball below the hole.

Caddie’s Note:
There is nothing easy about this long par-5.  The tee shot is made more difficult by bunkers that guard both sides of the fairway as it dog-legs to the left. Trees, rough, and bunkers await the second shot, forcing most players to lay up and rely on their short game to make a birdie. The green is well bunkered on the front and left and slopes left-to-right toward a severe drop-off. 

Caddie’s Note:
The first par-3 plays downhill, and swirling winds can complicate club selection. A creek runs short and left, while bunkers sit front-right and front-left.  Any shot left of the green will likely find the creek. The ideal tee shot favors the front portion of the green as anything long flirts with shrubbery and out of bounds behind the green. 

Caddie’s Note:
A blind tee shot to the crest of a hill reveals a narrow, beautifully situated green bunkered front and left. The safest tee shot is to the top of the hill but will leave a longish approach. A braver drive could catch the downhill roll, leaving a shorter approach if the player avoids catching the trees on the left or the creek on the right side. The creek also protects the green and will catch an approach shot that misses right. 

Caddie’s Note:
Playing into the predominant, but often hidden, southern breeze makes this long, uphill par-3 even more demanding. Hole locations can be difficult, especially back-left, and any shot over the green risks catching the slope and rolling into a creek. The miss on this hole is usually in front of the green. 

Caddie’s Note:
A dogleg right with two fairway bunkers guarding the corner requires a well-positioned tee shot that also avoids trees on the left. The prevailing wind and an elevated green make this hole play longer than its yardage, making club selection difficult. The green is severely sloped from back to front, and a shot with too much spin risks rolling off the green. 

Caddie’s Note:
The tee shot is downhill to a fairway that is one of the widest on the course but slopes left toward a creek that also runs across the fairway. Trees on the right must also be avoided. A perfectly played tee shot will leave a short second but to a severely elevated and heavily bunkered two-tiered green. Approach shots must favor the center or right side of the green to avoid the risk of a long roll-off down to the creek. 

Caddie’s Note:
The shortest hole on the course requires pin-point accuracy to the smallest green on the course, which is surrounded by four bunkers and a creek on the left. The elevated tee, prevailing right-to-left, and often swirling wind make up for the lack of distance on this great par-3.

Caddie’s Note:
Singled out by Ben Hogan and Arnold Palmer as one of America’s greatest par-4 holes, this slight dogleg left calls for a precision drive to a blind landing area to take full advantage of the right-to-left slope of the fairway. A bunker protecting the left side makes the tee shot even more difficult. The green slopes left to right and is protected short, left, and long by bunkers and short and right by a creek.

Caddie’s Note:
This par-5 can play from a multitude of yardages. A tee shot that can cover a swale and come to rest on the plateau will leave the player with a chance to reach the green in two shots. However, a creek in front and a smallish green surrounded by bunkers make that no small task. Many players will lay up short of the creek and rely on a good wedge shot to make a birdie. 

Caddie’s Note:
This picturesque par-3 has length and a relatively narrow green that is surrounded by six bunkers. The prevailing right-to-left wind can bring out-of-bounds on the left into play. A precision tee shot is necessary to find the putting surface of this challenging hole.

Caddie’s Note:
A dogleg left with a bunker guarding the left side, along with rough and trees on the right, this hole requires a well-positioned tee shot to a very narrow landing area. Bunkers surround the green that severely slopes from back-right to front-left, making it one of the most difficult holes on the course to putt. .

Caddie’s Note:
Like No. 13, to reach this par-5 in two shots and avoid a blind second, the tee shot must clear a gentle slope onto a plateau. This will provide a level lie and a look at the green.  The green is larger than No. 13 but is surrounded by bunkers with just a small open area in front.

Caddie’s Note:
This is one of the great short par-4 holes. It begins with a narrow fairway that slopes severely from left to right. Tee shots must avoid the creek that crosses and runs down the right side of the hole. The best approach to this small, undulating green is from the left side of the fairway. When the tee is moved forward, the hole provides an exciting opportunity to attack and make birdie, eagle, or worse.

Caddie’s Note:
One of the truly great finishing holes in all of golf. Wind can dictate how a player approaches the tee shot, as the creek that runs across and down the right side of the hole must be avoided. Therefore, the left side of the fairway is the preferred line. A more aggressive drive can reach the flat just in front of the creek and provide a shorter approach into a large, elevated green that has seen many three-putts over the years. Compounding matters is the colossal bunker front left affectionately known as “Jaws.”
