Plan Your Tulsa Golf Trip in 60 Seconds

Southern Hills prestige meets Blue Dome nightlife at budget prices

Tulsa is anchored by the Southern Hills legacy — one of the greatest championship courses in America — and backed by surprisingly strong public options. The Gathering Place park, Blue Dome district nightlife, and Cherry Street restaurant row give you a city with more personality than you'd expect. Green fees are half what you'd pay in Texas for comparable quality, making Tulsa the value play of the region.
