Detailed description

White Hawk Golf Course is a Public 18 hole golf course located just south of Tulsa in Bixby, Oklahoma.

The course, designed by Randy Heckenkemper, first opened for play in 1992.

The front nine is an open, links-style course, while the back nine is heavily wooded with several doglegs playing target-style golf. Four lakes on the golf course bring water into play on seven different holes and can require skillful precision to avoid the hazard. 

Par for the course is 72. From the back tees, the course plays to 6982 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 5148 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 11, a par-5 that plays to 557 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 6, a par-3 that plays to 183 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 5, a 414-yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 15, a 361 yard par-4.

The signature hole is #18, a 530-yard, par 5 dogleg right with a lake on the right protecting the green. 

The course closed February 10, 2019, and will not reopen.

New homes will be built on the golf course, which had been the centerpiece of the White Hawk Estate development. American Golf had operated the course for 20 years until Roger Rodich bought it in 2018. But losses of $273,000 in his first year of ownership and rounds that fell well short of break-even projections forced the decision to close.
