About this course

The South/West combination at Winstar Golf Course in Thackerville, Oklahoma represents eighteen holes drawn from the property's 27-hole layout designed by D. A. Weibring and Steve Wolfard. The course sits adjacent to the Winstar World Casino and Resort near the Texas-Oklahoma border, making it part of a larger entertainment destination. Weibring, a PGA Tour veteran who transitioned to course design, typically works with Wolfard to create layouts that balance playability with strategic interest across varied skill levels. The southern Oklahoma landscape here features rolling terrain with native grasses and stands of mature trees, characteristics that Weibring and Wolfard incorporate into their routing strategies. The design likely emphasizes wide fairways with strategic bunkering and water features that come into play on select holes, consistent with the team's approach to resort-style courses intended to accommodate both serious golfers and recreational players. The property's scale allows for variety in hole length and direction, with elevation changes providing visual interest and affecting club selection. As part of a casino resort complex, the course serves both destination visitors and regional golfers from the Dallas-Fort Worth area roughly an hour to the south. The facility includes practice areas and clubhouse amenities typical of resort operations, where golf functions as one component of a broader hospitality experience rather than as a traditional private club environment.

Getting there

The journey to Winstar Golf Course begins at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), approximately ninety minutes south by car through the rolling prairie landscape that defines the Red River Valley borderlands. From DFW, the drive carries you north through Oklahoma's gently undulating terrain, where open grassland and scattered oak groves gradually replace the urban sprawl, before arriving at the sprawling Winstar complex in Thackerville - a destination that commands the landscape near the Texas-Oklahoma state line. For those traveling by private aviation, Ardmore Downtown Airport (ADM) lies roughly forty minutes to the east and offers a more intimate arrival gateway. The final stretch of highway delivers you to a world-class golf resort where championship courses and luxury hospitality converge in the heart of south-central Oklahoma, far removed from the nearest metropolitan centers yet entirely accessible to discerning travelers seeking an escape into genuine golf country.
