About this course

Fort Sill Golf Club sits on the grounds of Fort Sill, an active U.S. Army installation in southwestern Oklahoma near Lawton. The course was designed by Ralph "Lefty" Mace, a regional architect who worked primarily in the mid-twentieth century and built several military and municipal layouts across Oklahoma and neighboring states. The design reflects the practical considerations of military golf courses from that era: accessible routing for a diverse membership, straightforward maintenance requirements, and integration with the post's existing landscape and infrastructure. The terrain in this part of Oklahoma features rolling prairie land with native grasses and scattered tree cover, and the course works within these natural contours. Military courses like Fort Sill typically serve active-duty personnel, retirees, and their families, creating a membership culture centered on recreation and community rather than exclusivity. The layout provides a functional test of golf without excessive length or severe hazards, making it suitable for players of varying skill levels. Fort Sill itself has a long history as an artillery training center, and the golf club functions as one of several recreational amenities on the post. The course offers a straightforward round in a setting shaped by the open skies and modest elevation changes characteristic of the southern Great Plains. While it does not host major competitive events or appear on national rankings, it serves its intended purpose as a well-maintained facility for the military community and authorized guests.

Getting there

Fort Sill Golf Club is most easily reached via Lawton-Fort Sill Regional Airport (LAW), a mere ten minutes from the course, or alternatively through Oklahoma City's Will Rogers World Airport (OKC), situated roughly ninety minutes to the northeast via I-44 South. The drive from Oklahoma City carries you through the gently rolling prairie landscape of southwestern Oklahoma, a gradual descent into the red-soil country that surrounds Fort Sill's historic grounds. As you approach the base, the terrain shifts subtly - the wide-open plains give way to the more sheltered, tree-lined corridors of the installation itself, where the course sits nestled within the post's carefully maintained grounds. Arrival at Fort Sill Golf Club places you at one of the nation's most storied military golf destinations, a course steeped in the legacy of the post's distinguished history.
