Southern Hills Country Club

Southern Hills Country Club is a private golf and country club in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the United States. It was established in 1936 from land donated by multimillionaire oilman Waite Phillips. The construction costs were raised by the founding members.

The main 18-hole golf course was laid out by golf course designer Perry Maxwell and renovated by Keith Foster in 1999. There is also a 9-hole West Course which was designed by Ben Crenshaw in 1992. Southern Hills also has the typical facilities of a country club, including extensive banqueting facilities, a fitness center, swimming and diving pools and tennis courts. Southern Hills offers swimming, personal training, and tennis instruction. The course is ranked No. 15 among Golf Digest’s “America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses”.

It is the first course to host the PGA Championship four times. It has also hosted several other prestigious tournaments. Southern Hills also hosted the first-ever U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur in 1987.
