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 programme of tree removal and the rebuilding of bunkers that reduced the number of sand hazards by almost a third
  • The course hosted the 1983 US Women’s Open won by legendary Australian golfer Jan Stephenson
  • Cedar Ridge also has hosted state championships and national qualifying tournaments
  • 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
