Lake Hefner Golf Course

The golf course is pretty but the staff can be very rude. If you don’t like to work with the public then go work somewhere else. They were rude to my 16 yr old on multiple occasions for no reason. We will just support Lincoln golf course. Their staff is awesome there!

Great Golf and Home on the Practice Range
The Hefner North and South courses are exceptionally well maintained, the pro shop is extremely well managed and the restaurant offers noteworthy daily specials (and an excellent burger). This has been my golf home for many years. Having lived and played in Southern California, these courses are an amazing value and as challenging as you want from the back tees. Don’t play back there, though, unless your index is single digit. Play it forward.
Regardless of whether you are new to golf or have been playing forever, do yourself a HUGE favor and have one of the Hefner professionals fit you for clubs. Buying off the rack is a big mistake. You will compensate for the grip size, length and shaft flex and never truly «find your game.» I had the privilege of a fitting a few years ago with Pat Jenkins and Shannon Friday. That was one of my best experiences in golf — and I got a GREAT DEAL on my new Titleist irons. Their help with my wedge game was the best. Golf requires equipment that fits, instruction and plenty of practice.
The expansive Hefner practice facilities are always there for you. Take some lessons and make yourself at home.

I’m a golf newbie. I just bought my first set of clubs and decided to hit the driving range.
I’ve never been to a golf course so I don’t know the standard prices for the driving range, but $ 6.50 for 60 golf balls on the range seemed more than fair to me. Also, if you would just like to chip or putt, it’s free. That’s right… if you just want to work on your short game, they have a designated area where you can work on your irons and putter.
If you’re brave enough to take on the 18 hole course, it will cost ya around $ 40, (golf cart included) which also seems more than fair in my opinion. I was impressed with Lake Hefner Golf Course on my initial visit and plan on returning, whether it’s to hit the driving range or play the course.

I’ve had the pleasure of playing the North and South courses within the past month and I can honestly say that both courses are great! The greens are really nice as well as the fairways, although I wouldn’t know because I played most of both rounds from the right rough ;-)… Either way, both courses offer a challenge for players of all skill levels. One reviewer’s comment about the pace of play was correct though. It will take you a while to get around this course if you tee off after 0800. There are multiple foursomes and sometimes even fivesomes at what seems like every single green! Oh and if there was a heavy downpour the night before, you may want to think twice about wearing white shoes as the course tends to get a little sloshy on the fairways where there is standing water. Here’s to hitting them straight ;-)

Yep, reviews are accurate — nice courses and good food in the grill! My only problem is the courses are so darn busy it takes a while to play a round — but off times are good and the little 3 hole par 3 is a great deal for $ 5!

Courses are great. South is a pleasure vet challenge, north can be a burden if water gets to you. Price comparable to some of the «nicer» munnies in Edmond & Moore.
Grill is fantastic. Eggs Benedict are some of the best in town; make sure you order your muffins extra toasted though.
Great place to play with friends and families. Great for the beginner to the scratch golfer. All in all, one of the better values in the city for great golf.

Two courses, North and South, are both along the south side of Lake Hefner and are great courses. I just got into golf recently and this place is really nice. The grass is in good shape and I like the layout.
Price is a little expensive for a municipal course but I guess you get what you pay for. I’ll definitely be back.

Jack Nicklaus, the greatest golfer of all-​time, once said that Lake Hefner South is one of his favorite courses… ok, I made that up, but that doesn’t change the fact that Hefner South is an enjoyable course to play. My most recent dalliance with the south course was played in 25 to 35 mph winds (with gusts up to 45). Needless to say, a good time was had by all.
The most prominent feature of the course are it’s undulating greens. Keeping the ball below the hole will make your day more pleasurable (and your score lower). My favorite hole is the par-​four tenth. After a nice drive, you’ll need a mid-​iron into a green protected by a lake (take one extra club in case you get it chunky).
As the great Sam Snead once said, «After Augusta National and Pebble Beach, Hefner South is the best course in America.» Actually, I made that up, too…

The restaurant at the Lake Hefner golf course is the perfect spot for grabbing lunch and hitting a few golf balls. There’s not much to look at, with its cafeteria-​style atmosphere and a bunch of older golfer folks. but their burgers and clubs are awesome. I get the blackened chicken club + fries every time.
