Following its 2025 transformation, Boots Hollow Golf Club has emerged as a standout destination on the Oklahoma Golf Trail. The course strikes a perfect balance between a forgiving, wide-open parkland style and a technical challenge that demands thoughtful club selection. While the fairways offer generous landing areas, the strategy truly begins on the approach. With Turkey Creek weaving through the landscape and providing a natural water defense on 12 different holes, golfers are treated to a scenic, high-stakes journey through the Northeast Oklahoma hills that feels both historic and brand new.
