Golf Club at Cimarron Trails

Cimarron Trails sits in Perkins, Oklahoma, a small town northeast of Stillwater in the north-central part of the state. Designed by Kevin Benedict and opened in the early 2000s, the course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the region, where the landscape transitions between prairie grasslands and wooded creek corridors. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes and incorporates native vegetation that frames holes and defines playing corridors. The layout reflects Benedict's approach to working with existing landforms rather than imposing dramatic earthwork. Golfers encounter a mix of open holes that play across gentle ridges and more enclosed stretches where trees and natural drainage patterns come into play. Water features appear on several holes, adding strategic considerations to club selection and approach angles. The conditioning and playability cater to a range of skill levels, with multiple tee boxes allowing flexibility in course length and challenge. As a daily-fee facility serving the Stillwater area and surrounding communities, Cimarron Trails functions as both a local amenity and a destination for visitors to the region. The course benefits from its proximity to Oklahoma State University, drawing golfers connected to the university community as well as residents from nearby towns. The property maintains a straightforward, accessible character typical of public golf in Oklahoma, where the emphasis remains on playable design and maintaining quality conditions in the state's variable climate.
