Cedar Creek Golf Course

Cedar Creek Golf Course occupies rolling terrain in the forested landscape of southeastern Oklahoma, near the town of Broken Bow and the popular Beavers Bend State Park recreation area. Designed by Ken Farley, the course takes advantage of the region's natural topography, with elevation changes and native pine and hardwood vegetation framing many holes. The setting reflects the transition zone between the Ouachita Mountains to the north and the more open terrain to the south, giving the layout a wooded, secluded character uncommon in much of Oklahoma. The routing works through corridors of trees and incorporates the natural contours of the land, requiring golfers to navigate both uphill and downhill lies. Water features appear on several holes, adding strategic interest to club selection and approach play. The design emphasizes accuracy over distance on many holes, as the tree-lined fairways reward precise ball-striking and course management. Cedar Creek serves both local golfers and visitors drawn to the Broken Bow area for its lakes, outdoor recreation, and cabin rentals. The course complements the region's tourism economy, offering a golf option in an area better known for fishing, hiking, and family getaways. Its layout provides a straightforward test of golf that fits naturally into the surrounding landscape without extensive earthmoving or artificial features.
