The Patriot Golf Club
The Patriot is one of Oklahoma's most exclusive courses and one of its most purposeful, a Robert Trent Jones II design opened in 2010 on dramatic rolling land north of Tulsa. A par 72 of about 7,135 yards and the home of the Folds of Honor Foundation, it is private, polished and built around a mission, which makes a round here as rare as it is memorable.

The verdict
The Patriot Golf Club is the rare private club where the golf and the purpose carry equal weight. It was designed by Robert Trent Jones II and opened in 2010 in Owasso, north of Tulsa, and it is the home of the Folds of Honor Foundation, the charity founded by Major Dan Rooney that funds scholarships for the families of fallen and disabled service members. The club hosts the annual Patriot Cup and threads that mission through everything it does.
The course plays as a par 72 of about 7,135 yards across big, tumbling Oklahoma terrain, with generous landing areas, bold bunkering and the polish you expect from a Jones II design and a top conditioning budget. It is a serious test from the back tees and a beautiful walk from anywhere forward. For a visiting golfer, the appeal is exclusivity and meaning as much as the layout itself, and access takes planning.

The holes worth the trip
The site is the headline. Jones II routed the course over dramatic, rolling ground with real elevation change, so downhill tee shots, uphill approaches and long views give the round a sense of scale that flatter Oklahoma courses cannot match. The corridors are wide enough to swing freely, but the contouring and the wind keep position and angle in play on every hole.
The bunkering and the greens carry the strategy. The hazards are bold and well placed, framing the holes and dictating the smart line from the tee, while the greens are large, firm and quick, the kind of surfaces that reward a confident putter and punish a careless approach. It is championship golf with the conditioning to match, exactly what a flagship private club aims for.
At about 7,135 yards it stretches the best players without overwhelming the rest, and the multiple tee sets make it a fair and enjoyable test across abilities for members and their guests. The whole experience, from the cottages on site to the Patriot Cup tradition, is designed to feel like a destination rather than a daily round.
