The community is invited to join civic leaders as they break ground on a new 18,000-square-foot clubhouse at Lake Hefner Golf Club, 4491 S Lake Hefner Dr., at 10 a.m. on Aug. 29.

The clubhouse’s first floor will include a golf shop, locker rooms, office space and a grab-and-go food and beverage area so golfers can enjoy lunch, dinner or snacks on the course. The second story will feature a full-service restaurant and bar with panoramic views over the north course and Lake Hefner.

The clubhouse will be constructed with limestone walls that mirror the riprap and dam along the lake, while oxide metal contrasts against the Oklahoma City sky.

“Oklahoma City has come a long way since Lake Hefner’s current clubhouse was constructed in the mid-1960s,” Oklahoma City Golf Commission Chairman and former Mayor Mick Cornett said. “Since that time, the 36-hole complex has become one of the most popular golf destinations in the region. Though the clubhouse has served us well, it is time we looked forward to a new facility that reflects the modern game and the modern golfer."

The club’s two golf courses and existing clubhouse will remain open while the new clubhouse is under construction.

The new clubhouse is expected to open in 2026.  

The $11.8 million clubhouse is funded by the Better Streets, Safer City 2017 Bond Program. Improvement projects have also been completed at the clubhouses of two other City-owned courses, Earlywine Golf Club and James E. Stewart Golf Course.
