About Us

History

Southern Hills Country Club was established in 1936 as a private country club.  The land that is now Southern Hills Country Club was donated by oilman Waite Phillips.

When the stock market crashed, Mr. Phillips’ fortune was almost totally liquid; it was estimated to be approximately $50 million.  He became Chairman of The First National Bank of Tulsa, and he was approached by Bill Warren and Cecil Canary to finance a new country club.  They spoke of the need for a family-oriented club that would include a swimming pool, stable, horseback trails, polo field, skeet range, tennis courts, clubhouse and golf course.  Golf was not as popular in those days and swimming pools were rare.

Mr. Phillips immediately labeled their ideas as ridiculous, noting the more important financial demands of the day.  However, he agreed to donate the land for the club if Mr. Warren and Mr. Canary could demonstrate there was a sufficient number of people interested in such a project.  Mr. Phillips gave them two weeks to garner pledges from at least 150 Tulsans for $1,000 each, but he would not personally give them a nickel to finance the project.

The money was raised and the Clubhouse was constructed in 1936.  Perry Maxwell, who designed the Colonial and Prairie Dunes golf courses, was hired to design the Southern Hills golf course.

SHCC Instrumental in the Success of The First Tee of Tulsa Youth Golf Program

The Southern Hills Country Club Charitable Foundation was instrumental in establishing The First Tee of Tulsa in 1999 to benefit the youth of Tulsa. Revenue from the 1995 and 1996 PGA TOUR Championships and additional contributions were placed in the Foundation and, since that time, the funds have been invested. (The Foundation is supported entirely by sources other than the Club's operational and capital funds.) The proceeds from these investments have been used to support The First Tee of Tulsa. In addition, Club management has actively solicited funds from local and national organizations to support these programs. 

Southern Hills Country Club conducts the annual First Tee of Tulsa Charitable Golf Tournament every year and the total of the net proceeds from the tournament are used to support this program. Since the tournament began in 2001, over $781,000 has been raised.

Great strides have been made in the development and expansion of The First Tee of Tulsa youth program.  For more information contact Nancy Acton at nacton@southernhillscc.org.
