A New Era For Oakwood Country Club
Oakwood Country Club is about to begin a new era. It's out with the old clubhouse and in with the new. Oakwood will close the clubhouse doors on December 23 and will not open them again until June of 2010 when a new clubhouse is projected to be complete.
All golf, tennis and swimming activities will continue as usual at the club. The golf and tennis pro shops will remain open and operate as usual.
Dining for club members and catering events will be moved to Heritage Hills in the old Mickey's/Rooster in Wine location. The restaurant will not be open to the public but there will be outside events held at the location.
Club members agreed to an assessment to fund the new clubhouse and every penny will come from members. Oakwood not only attracts local families but is a vital factor in attracting new families and businesses to Enid. The club offers families and businesses from other cities the opportunity to play golf on one of the states top golf courses, indoor tennis year round and outdoor swimming in the summer.
Under the direction of Chef/Manager David North and the Oakwood board, Enid will have a brand new facility to be proud of.

Not Enid, but the rich people of the town will have this to be proud of. It's to bad that the memebers of the club can't also help to redo roads, and help out with the schools here.
I wondered how long it would take for this comment to show up. I can assure you that not all members of the club are "rich". Many of us sacrifice other things so that our kids can have a place to swim and play tennis.
All of Enid benefits when something in town is improved upon that helps bring more businesses which hire more people. The golf course at the club benefits Enid more than you even realize. The Ambucs have used the club for meetings for years and many Christmas parties and other events have been held out there, all for non-members.
And all club members do help out with the roads and schools, it's called taxes. My taxes even go to fund public schools that my kids do not even attend. Where's my voucher that would allow me to spend that money on the school of my choice?
According to this kind of thinking we should ask the people that built the ski lake why they can't help with roads and schools. And why did the Allens build a ballpark when they could have helped build our roads and schools instead.
Why do private groups spend money on improving anything when all of that money could go to roads and schools?
The club is being rebuilt with private funds from members only. Enid will benefit from the penny pinching I and other members are doing to get it paid for. Calling us rich because we work hard and spend our money on a club membership is hogwash.
Well said, Curtis. I had my (small) wedding lunch there as it had the best chef in the business at the time (Edward Costello). Oakwood is indeed a draw for people and businesses thinking about moving to Enid, besides being a great golf course and a fantastic pool. City facilities like Meadowlake and Champlin pool are decent facilities in their own right (under-used by the public, though!), but a thriving community needs choice and competition for it's customers.
