Our mission is to provide our members and their guests the unique Southern Hills experience through recreation, fine dining and social interaction with exceptional service and warm hospitality.

Southern Hills Country Club includes two golf courses; an 18 hole course, designed by Perry Maxwell and a 9 hole course created in 1992. The 18 Hole course has held 15 major championships since 1946, including four PGA Championships and three U.S. Opens. In addition, Southern Hills' campus includes a lap pool, activity pool, eight outdoor tennis courts, 4 indoor courts and a full service fitness center. Southern Hills Country Club was established in 1936 as a private country club from land donated by oilman Waite Phillips. Mr. Phillips’ vision for a family-oriented club would include a swimming pool, stable, horseback trails, polo field, skeet range, tennis courts, clubhouse and golf course. At this time, golf was not a popular sport and pools were rare. Mr. Phillips agreed to donate the land for the club if interested parties could demonstrate sufficient interest in such a project. Pledges from at least 150 Tulsans for $1,000 each were raised, and the Clubhouse was constructed in 1936.
