Falconhead at Falconhead Resort & Country Club

Falconhead at Falconhead Resort & Country Club is a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design located in Burneyville, Oklahoma, near the Texas border in the south-central part of the state. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Red River region, where the landscape transitions between the Cross Timbers woodlands and the more open prairie country to the west. Jones, known for his strategic design philosophy and emphasis on shot values, brought his signature approach to this relatively remote Oklahoma location during an era when he was shaping courses across the country.

The routing takes advantage of the natural elevation changes and wooded corridors typical of the area, with holes framed by native hardwoods and offering variety in both length and shot requirements. Jones typically incorporated generous fairways paired with strategically placed bunkers and large, contoured greens that reward precision in approach play. Water features often come into play on Jones designs, adding both visual interest and strategic considerations for course management.

Falconhead operates as part of a resort and country club property, serving both members and guests in a region where golf course density is relatively low compared to major metropolitan areas. The course provides a Jones design experience in southern Oklahoma, where opportunities to play work by architects of his stature are limited. The setting offers a quiet, natural environment removed from urban development, with the course integrated into the native landscape of the Red River valley region.
