Dornick Hills Golf & Country Club is a private club with a
beautiful and challenging 18-hole golf course that embodies a proud
history.
Dornick Hills Golf & Country Club is the Private
Country Club of Southern Oklahoma. Work on the Golf Course began on the
west nine in 1913 by Perry Maxwell. Today, we have a challenging 18
hole championship, par 70 golf course. The Land was part of a dairy
farm owned by Maxwell. Work on the Club House began in 1914.
Dornick
Hills enjoys two distinctions. It was Oklahoma's first golf course with
Bermuda grass greens. It was the first Oklahoma Golf Club to be
affiliated with the United States Golf Association. This occurred on
July 20, 1914 and for the next six years no other Oklahoma Golf Club
enjoyed such a distinction. Before Perry Maxwell died in 1952, he had
designed about 75 golf courses — many of which were in Oklahoma. Some
of the other notable courses he designed in Oklahoma were Twin Hills,
Southern Hills, Oakhurst, Hillcrest and Oklahoma City Golf &
Country Club. He also designed Hardscrabble in Ft. Smith, AR, Prairie
Dunes in Hutchison, KS, and Colonial in Ft. Worth, TX. Mr. Maxwell did
a great deal of redesigning. Some of these were Pine Valley NJ,
Westchester, NY, Maidstone NY, Merion PA, Saucon Valley PA, Augusta
National GA, Cypress Point CA and Brook Hollow TX.
