Thank you for making note of our "country club." We discovered the Adair course about 12 years ago and miss it dearly. No, Osage Creek wasn't a Southern Hills, but it was nice enough to challenge even the low handicapper. My husband, myself and two sons all learned how to play golf there. Our weekend family outings quickly turned into family marathons. We played so much that our oldest son ended up playing for the BA golf team, my husband now enjoys a 5 handicap even at Tulsa's toughest courses and our youngest son will soon compete on his middle school team. It was a great course for golfers of all handicaps. You're absolutely right about being able to play all the golf you could possibly want and not go broke! The greens were always decent and challenging because they were smaller.
Most of all we enjoyed the camaraderie whether we played with fellow members or the weekend golfer. I couldn't tell you how much fun we had playing our $5 games until dark. A few occasions we finished our game with the aid of flashlights or the headlights of our golf carts on a late summer night. The die-hards played all winter long in their covered carts and portable propane heaters. The evenings were beautiful and peaceful no matter what time of the year it was. We all knew we were losing something special and only hope that someone will take it over before it is a total loss. Thank you Ray Ford for all the good times.
