Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma


The Tinker Golf Course is an 18-hole, Par-72 course that measures 6,735 yards from the back tees.  The course was designed by Floyd Farley and opened in 1961 with a rating of 72.1 and a slope of 121.
The course is a fairly flat layout that has water hazards that come into play on several holes.  Club selection is difficult due to the constant swirling winds.  The tree lined fairways and greens make ball placement very important, with small fast greens.  The low flying jets that frequently cross over the course can be a bit distracting at times but still a very challenging course.
The course is only open to the military and their guests.
