About this course

The Links at Norman is a daily-fee facility in Norman, Oklahoma, designed by Lyndy Lindsey and opened in the mid-1990s. Lindsey, an Oklahoma native who worked with Robert Trent Jones Jr. before establishing his own practice, brought links-style design principles to the central Oklahoma landscape. The course sits on rolling terrain south of the University of Oklahoma campus, where the property's natural contours and native grasses provide the foundation for a layout that emphasizes ground game options and strategic shot-making. The routing takes advantage of elevation changes uncommon in the region, with several holes playing across ridges and into natural bowls. Lindsey incorporated wide fairways, deep bunkering, and large, undulating greens that reward creativity around the putting surfaces. The design reflects the architect's intent to create a walkable course where wind becomes a significant factor in club selection and course management, particularly on the more exposed holes along the property's higher ground. As part of a larger athletic club complex, the facility serves both public golfers and club members, offering a range of practice amenities alongside the championship layout. The course has hosted various regional amateur competitions and collegiate events, benefiting from its proximity to the university and its position as one of the more substantial public-access courses in the Norman area. The property's maintenance standards and conditioning have made it a regular venue for Oklahoma Golf Association championships and qualifiers.
