ABOUT OUR MEMBERSHIPS

Our memberships at the Jimmie Austin Golf Club are specifically geared toward those individuals and families sharing our vision for the University’s Golf Club.

We believe a club is an idea of a shared experience – one where the bonds of friendship and family are forged and strengthened on the course, on the practice tee/training center, and around the clubhouse. Join the celebration and take advantage of our commitment to excellence.

Jimmie Austin Golf Club offers a variety of options to meet your needs. Our members enjoy several advantages such as preferred tee times, excellent practice facilities and the new Michael A Cawley Center for Golf Instruction featuring full golf simulation for members only. We also provide our members with special golf shop pricing and loyalty programs.

For more information regarding membership or to arrange a personal tour please contact Rodney Young at rodneyyoung@ou.edu or contact Tyler Woodward at woodwardt@ou.edu
