Former Oklahoma Sooner, Current Golf Channel Personality Andrew Magee Enamored by SW Oklahoma Golf-Residential Community (Southwest Oklahoma) – Andrew Magee, a four-time winner on the PGA TOUR and current Golf Channel personality, recently visited The Territory Golf and Country Club and left raving about the award-winning property.
Having played on the PGA TOUR for more than 20 years, where he compiled an impressive resume (he is the only PGA TOUR member to score an ace on a par-4 hole during a TOUR event), Magee has a unique perspective on world-class golf courses. He has played many of the world’s greatest courses, including during major championships.
“I was completely taken by surprise with the topography of the area,” said Magee. “I thought the abundant native plants added to the beauty and difficulty of the course… beautiful hues of green, yellow, orange, red and brown.”
A modified target-style layout, The Territory features an A1-A4 creeping bentgrass blend on the greens, while the tees, fairways and roughs are Tifsport Bermudagrass. Native vegetation frames the playing corridors.
“I always judge the greens if I like a course or not,” Magee added. “The conditions were superb and, most important, the undulations weren't impossible.”
Owned by Rick and Barbara Braught – like Magee, Sooner alumni – The Territory was created with family in mind. From the layout that boasts multiple tee boxes to accommodate any skill level, extensive training facility and three-hole short course, to a beautiful swimming pool and multi-sport court, the development offers something for every member of the family.
In just its first five years of play, the Randy Heckenkemper design has hosted the Oklahoma State Amateur twice, Oklahoma Senior State Amateur, an NCAA Div. II Super Regional and a stop on the Adams Pro Golf Tour Series.
As for accolades, The Territory was honored as a “Best New” course upon opening and has been named a “Best Residential Course” by Golfweek for three consecutive years. Golf Digest also placed the course in its Top 10 list of courses in the golf-rich Sooner State.
