ABOUT THE COURSE

CEDAR RIDGE COUNTRY CLUB

Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

Par: 70
Yardage: 7,213

Famed golf course architect Joe Finger was commissioned by local businessmen in the late 1960s to design Cedar Ridge

Tripp Davis oversaw the 2016 course renovation that involved a program of tree removal and the rebuilding of bunkers that reduced the number of sand hazards by almost a third

The course hosted the 1983 U.S. Women’s Open won by legendary Australian golfer Jan Stephenson

Cedar Ridge also has hosted state championships and national qualifying tournaments

Cedar Ridge is ranked as the fifth best course in Oklahoma by Golf Digest’s latest state rankings

The nines will be reversed for LIV Golf Tulsa, with the course playing at par 70 instead of par 71 for members

The 369-yard 12th hole (the No. 3 hole for members) is the shortest par 4 on the course but is a severe dogleg left that will likely prevent players from attempting to drive the green
