About this course

White Hawk Golf Course occupies rolling terrain in Bixby, a suburban community south of Tulsa in northeastern Oklahoma. Designed by Randy Heckenkemper and opened in the early 2000s, the course serves as a public facility in a region where golf development expanded significantly during that period. Heckenkemper, a regional architect with several Oklahoma and Kansas designs to his credit, worked with the natural contours of the property to create a layout that incorporates elevation changes and wooded corridors. The routing moves through a landscape characterized by native grasses, mature trees, and water features that come into play on multiple holes. The design emphasizes strategic options from the tee, with fairway bunkers and hazards positioned to reward accurate placement over pure distance. Greens are moderately contoured and defended by greenside bunkering that requires thoughtful approach play. The course offers multiple tee boxes to accommodate different skill levels, a common feature in public golf facilities serving a broad membership and daily-fee clientele. White Hawk functions as a neighborhood amenity and destination for Tulsa-area golfers seeking an accessible round in a setting that balances challenge with playability. The course has hosted local and regional amateur competitions, contributing to the competitive golf calendar in the Tulsa metropolitan area. Its location near the Arkansas River valley provides views across the surrounding countryside, and the facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse typical of modern public golf operations in the region.

Getting there

White Hawk Golf Course sits in the rolling prairie landscape of northeastern Oklahoma, most easily reached via Tulsa International Airport (TUL), roughly forty minutes to the south - a straightforward drive that carries you from the city's outskirts into the quieter, more open terrain of Bixby and its surrounding ranch country. The route transitions from urban corridors into gently undulating grassland dotted with native oaks, a landscape that shifts subtly but unmistakably as you approach the club's entrance. For those arriving by private aircraft, Tulsa's robust general aviation infrastructure provides convenient access, though the drive itself - a contemplative passage through the heart of Oklahoma's pastoral character - remains an integral part of the White Hawk experience. The final miles unfold through a landscape of wide horizons and native vegetation, setting the tone for a course designed to honor the region's natural topography and quiet, understated elegance.
