Winstar Golf Course

About this course
The Redbud Course at WinStar Golf Club is part of a multi-course golf facility located in Thackerville, Oklahoma, near the Texas border. Designed by Steve Wolfard, the course serves the WinStar World Casino and Resort complex, one of the largest casino resorts in the United States. The facility caters to resort guests and regional golfers seeking convenient access to quality golf in southern Oklahoma. Wolfard's design works with the rolling terrain characteristic of this part of Oklahoma, where the landscape transitions between the Red River valley and the Cross Timbers region. The routing incorporates natural elevation changes and native vegetation, including the redbud trees for which the course is named. These trees are indigenous to Oklahoma and provide seasonal color, particularly in early spring when they bloom. As a resort course, the Redbud is designed to accommodate a range of skill levels while providing a complete test of golf. The layout balances risk-reward opportunities with strategic options, allowing players to choose aggressive or conservative lines based on their ability and comfort level. Water features and bunkering define key holes and create visual interest throughout the round. The course operates within the broader WinStar entertainment complex, which includes multiple dining venues, hotel accommodations, and casino gaming. This integration makes it a destination for golfers combining their rounds with other resort activities, serving both Oklahoma residents and visitors from the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area approximately ninety miles to the south.

Getting there
Most arrivals to Winstar Golf Course route through Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), roughly an hour and a half north across the Red River into southern Oklahoma. The drive follows Interstate 35 as it climbs gently out of the Dallas sprawl, the landscape gradually opening into rolling prairie and cattle country before reaching the vast entertainment complex that anchors this stretch of the Texas-Oklahoma border. For private arrivals, North Texas Regional Airport in Sherman offers a discreet alternative closer to the property. The final miles peel away from the interstate hum, delivering guests to a surprisingly lush golf sanctuary carved from the Oklahoma plains.
