Golf at Shangri-La Resort
The Legends
Previously played as the back nine to the Old Blue Course, the Legends Nine has been met with rave reviews. From the modifications to the greens complexes to the dual greens on the Mickey Mantle Hole, the north end of the Old Blue Course has been transformed into a modern classic. Superintendent, Justin May and his crew, have spent countless hours and endless sweat providing an environment for premier conditions on what proves to be one of the best tests of golf in the four state region.
Although the original layout is still intact, the addition of fluid movement to the fairways, additional distinctive white sand bunkers, brilliant water features and diverse putting surfaces will present a modern contrast that has made Shangri-La the golf destination of the region. The layout of the Legends Nine provides the perfect complement to the magnificent lake views visible from all points on the golf course. With five sets of tees, the golf course is set up daily to offer all levels of golfers the challenge that suits their game.
The Heritage
The Heritage Nine rounds out the “Old Blue” course. What started out as a much needed facelift, turned into a total reconstruction of the entire facility. Following a total renovation project, the Old Blue Course at Shangri-La is back with dramatic changes and the Heritage Nine is played as the front nine of the Old Blue. Tom Clark’s redux of the Old Blue has transformed it into a modern classic.
The Champions
The Par 36 Championship Nine combines the challenge of water, bunkers, and fairway movement with a series of equally challenging undulating greens. With dramatic water features, spectacular views of the lake, and vast white sand bunkers, the Champions Nine always provides a fun day on the course.
The Battlefield at Shangri-La
Golfers have the opportunity to experience one of the most unique golf courses in America. Unlike most par three courses that offer more of a pitch and putt feel, The Battlefield offers 18 unique full-length par three holes allowing players of all levels to use every iron in their bag if they desire. Standing apart from the Championship Golf facility, the threes are built on 80 Acres of rugged terrain with more than 100 feet of elevation changes throughout the property. As you wind through the natural feel of creeks and falls, exposed rock outcroppings and railroad ties hold the land together. Although the course is built for all players, the challenge you take on is up to you. With five sets of tees, players can choose the more manageable and shorter teeing options with more direct access from tee to green. Of they may choose to push play to the back set of tees, that bring the beautiful and well-placed bunkers, creeks, and dramatic greens complex features into play. From the back tees, the Battlefield presents holes ranging from 110-245yards long.
The stand-alone clubhouse facility offers a short iron warm-up area and a large putting green. The patio overlooks the beautiful landscape where you can relax following play and see several greens complexes throughout the course. Inside the Clubhouse, the Canteen provides fresh tacos, wraps, and salads with a full signature cocktail menu. The Battlefield golf shop offers a historic feel with great souvenirs and clothing options for all your golfing needs.

Stay and Play
Shangri-La’s Championship Golf Course – frequently ranked among the state’s TopFive golf courses – features 27 holes and comprises the Legends, Champions, and Heritage nines.Surrounded by the waters of Grand Lake on three sides, the course challenges golfers of any skill level, with five tee boxes on each hole. The signature hole on the course is Legends Nine, which features two separate greens complexes separated by dramatic and spectacular waterfall; known as”The Mickey Mantle Hole,” it’s named after the New York Yankees legend who hosted his Mickey Mantle Golf Classic charity tournament at Shangri-La from 1991 until his death in 1995. Mickey once shot an albatross on the challenging par five.
The addition of The Battlefield par-3 course in 2023 makes Shangri-La one of the few golf resorts offering 45 holes to members, guests, and the general public. Built in honor of WWII veterans, each hole at the Battlefield is named after an Oklahoma WWII hero. Additional veterans are honored with weekly displays in the Battlefield Clubhouse.
