Historic Prominence
Perry Maxwell was an American golf course architect. He was a founding member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects and was an inductee into the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame in 2012. He was known as the "father of Oklahoma golf," and firmly believed that the land makes the course. Therefore, his beautiful design over our wild and undulating terrain has led many to believe that Twin Hills is a prime example of his mastery of routing.
The history of Twin Hills dates back to 1920 when five oilmen (Al Maidt, Bob Conliff, Gus Mattison, Leslie Norris, and Bill Buchholz) commissioned Maxwell to design and build the course on its present 160-acre site. The 18-hole course opened in 1923 and features 6,857 yards for golf from the longest tees for a par of 72. The course rating is 74.2 and it has a slope rating of 133 on Bermuda grass.
