Our History

 

 

      It all started with a vision and a dairy farm. In 1967, a group of Tulsa businessmen, headed by J.A. Buddy LaFortune, commissioned famed golf course designer, Joe Finger, to create a new golf course in Tulsa that would be heralded as one of the finest in the nation. Finger said Cedar Ridge ranks at the top of all his designed courses. It has the kind of strategic demands and natural beauty which pleases most golfers. It requires the player to hit a variety of shots with near perfect execution. Eighty-seven sand traps await the golfers errant shots.   Upon completion, Cedar Ridge was rated among the top hundred courses by Golf Digest. 

     Under the direction of Buddy Phillips, our Golf Professional for 35 years, Cedar Ridge has hosted many outstanding national and regional  tournaments.  One of our most popular Member events is the annual Sandbagger, which raises funds specifically for a beautification project for the course.
