About this course
Cherokee Hills at Cherokee Hills Golf Club is where Oklahoma golf found its footing. Carved into the rolling terrain just east of Tulsa in Catoosa, the course embodies a classic, player-friendly experience with a touch of old-school charm. Originally designed with the weekend player in mind, Cherokee Hills is a parkland layout that prioritizes playability over penal difficulty. Mature trees line generous fairways, encouraging confident swings, while subtly contoured greens reward thoughtful approach shots. The course favors a draw, demanding a strategic approach rather than brute force. While Cherokee Hills has not hosted major championships, its enduring appeal lies in its accessibility and community spirit. The clubhouse is known for its simple, honest fare. While lacking a signature dish, it boasts a convivial atmosphere where post-round stories are shared as easily as cold beers. The membership consists of locals who consider the course an extension of their backyard, a place where the pace is relaxed, and the competition is friendly.

Getting there
Cherokee Hills Golf Club sits just beyond the sprawling suburbs of Tulsa, reachable most directly via Tulsa International Airport (TUL), roughly forty minutes south by car through the gently rolling terrain of northeastern Oklahoma. The drive itself traces a quiet passage from the city's edge into ranch country, where the landscape opens into the wide, grassy horizons that define this corner of the state - a gradual transition that signals arrival in a more intimate, land-focused world. For those seeking a more discreet approach, nearby Tulsa's general aviation facilities offer convenient private options, though the club's proximity to the metro area means the final miles unfold with a sense of unhurried ease, the road narrowing as you slip into the quieter precincts where Cherokee Hills commands its own peaceful corner of the Oklahoma plains.
