ALL INFO, PRICING AND RENDERINGS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
WHERE CRIMSON AND CREAM MEETS LUSH AND GREEN.
The Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club is planned and operated to be the home golf course of the University of Oklahoma’s men’s and women’s golf programs,
both nationally ranked in the top 10. It will designed and maintained to be a TRUE CHAMPIONSHIP golf course, preparing the teams to compete for Big
12 and NCAA championships. It is considered by most to be a top-5 golf course in the state and ranks as one of the top university-owned golf courses in
the country. The golf course will always be maintained in excellent condition for many reasons; but that we are here first and foremost for our golf teams,
reinforces the commitment to excellent conditions which greatly benefits our university alumni and club membership.
The club is committed to being first and foremost a University Golf Club, catering to the golf teams, alumni, faculty, staff, students and members. Non
University related play and activities will always be an important, but after our University community. It is important to recognize the benefits of a great golf
course and golf club is to a university, city and state by providing positive recognition, being nationally recognized and hosting national championships.
It creates fundraising opportunities, tax revenue to city and state, tourism dollars to local business, improves property values, helps recruit talented
professionals and business to an area, and even sometimes might help bring a great college athlete or coach to an already great university.
The Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club is one of the greatest assets of the University, as every university college, university department, athletic team, faculty
members, students, staff members and such have preferred access to the course and clubhouse. Your donations and support truly help the entire
university community.

phase 1 projects
• NEW TEAM TRAINING AREA
This is to be the premier team training area in the country providing the OU
Teams the ability to emulate shots using all 14 clubs in their bag to shots
they will need to make in pursuing Championships. There will be multiple
bunkers protecting four (4) greens. Each green will be shallow so the golfers
improve distance control. Each green will be a different style so the players
can get used to different eras and architects better preparing them for the
next tournament regardless of where that might be. This is an 11 acre area
located directly west of the new entrance drive. This is a game changer for
golf teams in terms of recruiting and preparing the athlete for the next level.
Naming of this facility is $2.5 Million.
• NEW ENTRANCE DRIVE
This is necessary first to create the space to develop the team training area
but it will also very possibly be the most visable and obvious improvement
moving the golf course and club from the municipal image to the image of
a great club. While the entrance or curb appeal of club should have little
to no impact on a golf experience or golf club reputation, this one will be
dramatic. We will moving from a dull drive along a practice range, chain link
fencing on one side and 1930 era naval buildings on the other to a winding
landscaped drive with the golf course 9th hole on the right and the new
team practice facilities on the left. This will create a dramatic entrance to
the future cottages and clubhouse. Naming of entrance drive is $1 Million.

• NEW PARKING LOT AND ENTRY TO THE CHARLIE COE CENTER
The new entry will be located very near the current entrance to the club but
will be a circle drive leading into the current team facilities. Landscaping
and clock tower in the circle recognizing and thanking long time donor
and supporter of the golf programs, Dick Askew. Donations welcome but
naming is reserved for Dick Askew.
• NEW TEACHING ACADEMY
Located on the north end of practice tees, the academy will be for
member and club use; however the team will have access when needed
as it will be protected from the north wind. It is a two bay practice area
including a restroom, offices, and storage. It will be equipped with the best
instructional equipment, exercise machines, and video in the industry.
Naming of the Teaching Academy is $500,000.
• RENOVATIONS TO BISHOP CREEK
Bishop Creek is a main artery to the city of Norman and University Campus
watershed. It is also a great asset to the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club as it
helped create our rolling hills and creates interest within the golf course.
There are erosion issues that require addressing as well great opportunities
to improve the aesthetics and imagery of the golf course. This particular
phase will be addressing North Bishop Creek as it enters our property
through to Constitution Drive (hole 12, 1, 18, and 9). The creek will have
sections each named for different donors, naming of these sections are
$250,000 each (4 opportunities).

• NEW CLUBHOUSE PARKING LOT
The current parking lot only holds 103 vehicles with us regularly parking
20 to 40 cars in the grass overflow lot which will know be part of the team
training area (4 hole practice course). This will allow us to create a club
like parking area with up to 150 parking spaces, lighting and landscaping
creating a parking lot that flows from the new entrance drive and in time
with the new clubhouse.
• COMPLETE RENOVATIONS OF COE’S CREEK
While Coe’s Creek is a great improvement, it did not create the true
separation between holes 10 and 11 and the creek has few natural
elements. It is a very natural flowing creek that only needs minimal
assistants in looking and behaving as such. The renovations will create a
clean up pond where the water enters our property from the city park and
then becomes a natural setting and aesthetic improvement and critical
playing element to the golf course.
• ADDITION OF NEW BRIDGE SERVING HOLE 12
Currently hole 12 and hole 18 share a bridge causing congestion and
potentially dangerous incidents. The plan is move the path to the North
side of number 11 and 12 greens, eliminating the congestion and danger.
It is a great opportunity to again improve the club aesthetically as the new
bridge will be not only built to handle the golf course equipment but be
built to be an asset to the already great golf course. Naming of the new
bridge is $250,000.

• RENOVATIONS TO HOLES 9, 10, 11 AND 12
The renovations on number 9 are critical to the redesign of our new
entrance creating room for the new team practice facilities. Holes 10, 11
and 12 are creating space for eventually the new clubhouse and greatly
improving the design of hole 10 by adding 25 yards and putting the water
greenside, allowing the long hitter still the option but certainly creating
much more risk to offset the reward if successful in driving the green. There
will also be much space created in the very busy and overlapping holes of 1,
9, 18 and 12 allowing better gallery viewing for the Championships we host
and reducing safety risk.
• DEDICATED SPACE FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
Everything already discussed is extremely important for the success of the
facility but truly the final piece of the vision is and will be the centerpiece
for years to come. All donors, members, faculty, staff, alumni, golf team
members, coaches, and community will have the ability to actualy use and
enjoy a new clubhouse and cottages. While neither facility is designed yet,
both will be designed with excellence in mind, just like everything else at
the University of Oklahoma.

giving opportunities
• HOLE SPONSORSHIP — $250,000
All original hole sponsors from 1995 will have the first options to again give
the hole they generously gave then. in 1995 the holes were sold at different
values but this time each hole will be the same, $250,000. Regardless of the
par or length of the hole they all need some work and in several instances
the most money will be spent on the shorter holes and while this vision and
project does not address every hole, every hole will be updated with new
fairway grasses and bunker renovations over the next 5 to 7 years and there
will be money set aside to complete this. All gifts in 1995 will continue to be
recognized, but we will changing the recognition to two plaques. The first
will be the 1995 and the second 2015.

charlie coe founding member society
CHARLIE COE
1923-2001
• FOUNDING MEMBER
The Charlie Coe Founding Member Society was
established to highlight the OU Golf Club’s top level
of membership. Founding Members are an essential
part of providing the resources necessary to transform
the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club into the top University
facility in the nation. Coe is widely regarded as one of
the top amateur golfers in the history of golf and the
society bearing his name has been established to honor
his commitment and accomplishments to amateur golf.
Coe attended OU from 1946-48 after serving as a pilot during World War II
and later became one of the most celebrated amateur golfers in the game’s
history. Winner of three-straight Big Seven Conference championships
and a pair of U.S. Amateur titles, Coe never turned professional, instead
choosing to spend time with his wife and family.
Retaining his amateur status did not stop Coe from cementing his legacy
amongst golf’s greats, as the Ardmore, Okla., native traveled the country
with favorable results against the top professionals of his era.
The former Sooner made 19 Masters appearances and still holds or shares
most Masters amateur records, including top-10s (three), most cuts made
(eight), most rounds played (67) and rounds at par or better (22).
