JIMMIE AUSTIN GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Norman, OK, USA
Designed by Bob Cupp, Perry Maxwell

Jimmie Austin Golf Club, carved into the rolling Oklahoma prairie just south of Norman, stands as a monument to collegiate golf and a testament to the vision of its namesake. This is Sooner country, and the course, originally designed by Perry Maxwell disciple Bob Dunning, has seen multiple updates, most notably by architect Tripp Davis, who modernized its challenges while honoring its classic roots.
The land dictates the play. Wide fairways belie the trouble lurking in the native grasses bordering each hole. While not overtly long, Jimmie Austin demands strategic positioning off the tee to navigate the subtle contours and deceptive greens. A premium is placed on controlled iron play, particularly into the greens complexes which can punish those who choose to play aggressively.
The club's DNA is intertwined with the University of Oklahoma's golf program, serving as its home course and proving ground. Jimmie Austin has hosted numerous NCAA regional championships and the 2013 NCAA Men’s Championship, solidifying its reputation as a championship-caliber layout where future stars hone their skills. While it may not command global recognition, its importance within the collegiate golf landscape is undeniable, a place where legends begin their journey.
