About UsDornick
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.
Dornick Hills has been
the site of many tournaments including the Ardmore Open, a P.G.A.
sanction event in 1952-1954. Golf Digest has named Dornick Hills in the
top 5 in Oklahoma several times.
The first Club House, a
wooden structure, was destroyed by fire in 1944. A two story brick
structure was completed in 1947. The Club House has been remodeled
several times since that date. We also have a separate Pro Shop with
the ladies lounge and locker room on the second floor.
Dornick
Hills Club House upstairs is spacious and able to accommodate
receptions, business meetings, and in general, parties of any size.
Downstairs, we have the Maxwell room lounge for more casual
entertaining. Also downstairs is the men's locker room, card room, and
office. Other amenities including a swimming pool with a convenient
snack bar and two lighted tennis courts.
Our cuisine is
excellent and service found only on older private enclaves. Our manager
with lofty standards is here to assist members in their planning and
entertainment.
We think you will agree the view from Dornick
Hills Club House looking north to the Arbuckle Mountains is the finest
in the state.
Dornick Hills Golf & Country Club is owned and managed by the Stockholders.
