For golf enthusiasts, the Shangri La Resort at Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees offers a unique combination of scenic beauty and strong playability. Here’s what to know:
The Courses
You’ll find three nines (Champions, Heritage, Legends) making up 27 holes of rolling terrain and lake vistas.
Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or simply playing for fun, the layout accommodates a range of skill levels.
Why the Location Matters
Teeing off with views of Grand Lake adds that “resort feel” many golf trips lack. The proximity to water and natural setting enhance the experience.
Tips for Your Golf Stay
- Book tee times early — as the resort combines lodging, marina & golf, it draws mixed traffic.
- Consider a weekday stay if you want fewer crowds and better course access.
- Stay overnight at the resort, so you can enjoy the full amenities (pool, spa, dining) after your round.
- Pack for various conditions—winds off the lake can affect play more than inland courses.
Beyond the Fairways
After your round, relax at the clubhouse lounge or head back to your room and refresh for an evening at the lake or spa. A full-day golf escape doesn’t have to stop when the sun sets.
In short:
If you’re planning a golf-focused getaway in Oklahoma, Shangri-La Resort offers both the scenic backdrop and solid course infrastructure — making it well worth considering.
