Sequoyah State Park Golf Courses

Sequoyah State Park Golf
Sequoyah State Park GolfNestled in the densely wooded foothills of the Ozark Plateau, Sequoyah is a short but difficult course with bent grass greens and bermuda grass tees and fairways ? a good challenge for the average golfer. More than 200 mature oak and pecan trees grace the fairways of Sequoyah, which offers views of Fort Gibson Lake from every tee box. The lake comes into play on five of the course?s holes. Golfers should heed the pro?s advice: Use more club than the yardage indicates to reach the course?s elevated greens.
