Bend's Out West Golf Trip 10 states
BEND OF THE RIVER GC ·


I thought I would post up pictures from my from Cincinnati to Moab, Utah and back golf trip,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska are the states we are passing through.
My guess is close to 3500+ miles of driving.. I have plans to play 14-15 (more if I can sneak a few rounds early in the mornings) different golf courses along the way. The car is loaded and I am on the road. Stay tuned.

First stop, Gateway National Golf Links in Illinois.

Today I will make a stop at a place that I have not been back to in about 30 years.

I found my barracks from basic training, still there but many have been replaced with newer buildings.

Texas is a toss up right now. We are passing through Amarillo once we leave Oklahoma City and I was thinking of 9 holes Sunday morning maybe. I have not really scouted anything around Amarillo, or elsewhere along I-40. I defintiely want to eat at the BigTexan in Amarillo as well.

In Denver I will probably only play Fossil Trace unless I can get out really early one morning and sneak in 9 at Common Ground or Murphy Creek while my wife sleeps in.

Welcome to beautiful (hot and windy) Tulsa, OK ... or as I like to call it "God's Country" (Three Dog Night happened to agree, btw, check out the song "Never Been to Spain" for confirmation). I hope you enjoyed La Fortune. Pretty nice little muni, with interesting greens (that are never too fast). It's a good value in my opinion. If you are coming back through on your trip, be sure and play Forest Ridge Golf Club in Broken Arrow (best public course in the area); or if you need more of a "story" course you could try Cherokee Hills at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Catoosa (right on I-44). Originally a 9-hole Perry Maxwell design ... it's a bit tricked up, I think (crazy elevation change on a few holes and the first 6 are unnecessarily difficult in my opinion), but always in great condition.
Sounds like a fun trip. Keep the pics coming, we desk jockies want to keep day dreaming.

Weather has been great so far. Headed to Oklahoma City for 2 days and it looks like my wife's friend has made us a tee time at GC of Edmond (for erly Fairfax CC) tomorrow morning. I am thinking about a quick 9 holes around Amarillo, Texas Sunday morning as well.

Really difficult golf course.
Formerly known as Fairfax Golf Club. Nice greens, kinda narrow in most places, making it a fairly tough golf course.
