Detailed description of Scissortail Golf Course, CLOSED 2016

Scissortail Golf Course is a Semi-Private 18-hole golf course located on the east side of Tulsa in Claremore, Oklahoma.

The course opened for play in 2006. Scissortail was designed by Randy Heckenkemper.

Black tees: par-71, 6,510 yards, 71.0 / 121
Blue tees: par-71, 6,048 yards, 68.9 / 119
Red tees: par-71, 5,574 yards, 67.3 / 108
Silver tees: par-71, 4,993 yards, 64.5 / 100

The course closed on March 22, 2016.

The course closed following the departure of superintendent and general manager Chad Weinrich, who took a position as superintendent of Winter Creek Golf Club in Blanchard.

Spirit Bank of Tulsa, which has been trying unsuccessfully to sell the course since 2011, decided on the closure rather than trying to replace Weinrich, who has been running both superintendent and pro shop operations for the past five years.

The course went through three early ownership groups before falling to the bank in 2011. It had not been promoted virtually at all as the bank was more intent on finding a buyer than expanding golf operations.
