Southern Hills Country Club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Southern Hills Country Club is a prestigious private golf and country club in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the United States. It was established in 1936. The land was donated by multi-millionaire oilman Waite Phillips, and the construction costs were raised by the founder members.
The main 18 hole golf course was laid out by golf course designer Perry Maxwell and renovated by Keith Foster in 1999. There is also a 9 hole West Course which was designed by Ben Crenshaw in 1992. Southern Hills also has the typical additional facilities of an elite country club, including extensive banqueting facilities, a fitness centre, swimming and diving pools and tennis courts.
Southern Hills has hosted two of golf's four major championships for men, the U.S. Open and the PGA Championship, three times each, and it is the scheduled venue for the 2007 PGA Championship. It has also hosted several other prestigious tournaments. Southern Hills also has the rare honor of being the inaugural host of a USGA championship, hosting the first-ever U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur in 1987.
