Forest Ridge is another semi public turned private country club in the area that is a joy to play. Not easy might be the toughest course in the area not. Ames Southern Hills. Good holes interesting routing, better hit it straight definitely recommend

…the layout is so fun. It is so peaceful. The locker rooms are nice. One of the best sets of par threes that there is. 18 having two greens is unique and fun.

Big time 2nd shot course with it being fairly forgiving off the tee. Landing areas are tiny on the greens, with tons of runoff areas on all sides. Lightning quick bent greens, with severe undulations.

Lots of good golf in Tulsa and Cedar Ridge is no exception. Former US Womens Open and LIV Golf Venue. Good course a little disjointed 3 holes by themselves across the road seem almost like they were added after the fact.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Tulsa, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
