Jimmie Austin University of Oklahoma Golf Course
Perry Maxwell's final design: home of the Sooner golf dynasty
About this course
The Jimmie Austin Golf Club at the University of Oklahoma is located in Norman, Oklahoma, on land that once served as a U.S. Navy training annex, with Bishop Creek and the South Canadian River shaping rolling terrain dotted with native grasses and bur oaks.
Perry Maxwell designed the original course, which opened for play in January 1951 shortly before his death. Robert Cupp led a major redesign in 1996, and Tripp Davis, an OU alumnus, completed further renovations in 2017 that relocated tees and greens, shifted fairways and rebuilt bunkers while aiming to preserve Maxwell's original character.
The course serves as home to the Oklahoma Sooners golf teams and operates as a public daily-fee facility, having hosted NCAA Regional and U.S. Amateur Public Links championships.
