Royal Oaks

Set over the gentle and densely wooded terrain of the White Rock Creek floodplain is the Billy Martindale-designed Royal Oaks Country Club. Originally opened in 1969, the club has undergone multiple renovations, first by Jay Morrish in 1985, then by Weibring-Walford golf design in 2001, and ultimately Chet Williams, who in 2014 and 2023 focused on regrassing the course to Tahoma 31 fairways and TifEagle bermuda greens. The course has the honor of being the home of current World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who came to the club as a kid to work with the club’s longtime teaching professional, Randy Smith. Royal Oaks features tight tree-lined fairways and subtly sloping greens that meander around intimidating hazards. The signature hole at Royal Oaks is the par-4 13th, playing over 470 yards and forcing players to carry a creek off the tee and for their approach into the green.
