The course, designed and modified by Donald Sechrest as well, has always been a joint venture between the municipal government of Elk City and private citizens who are members at Elk City Golf & Country Club. As it stands, the golf course is laid out on public land, but privately operated by the elected Board of Directors of Elk City Golf & Country Club, a private club. A Short, Scenic, Fair & Challenging Layout Elk City Golf & Country Club is a short, scenic, fair, and challenging layout that plays to a par of 71. In glancing at the scorecard below, which shows a maximum length of only 6,179 yards, one will immediately realize that the course is “friendly” to the average golfer, but it is not easy by any means: all greens are small targets (average is under 3,000 sq ft), subtly undulated, and some play even smaller because of “false” sides or undulations which makes precise iron play a necessity for low scoring, which makes the records below a testament to the local talent. While all our Par-5 holes are reachable in two shots for the longer hitters, the approach must be accurate, or the player will find trouble, whether it be watery grave, trees, a difficult lie or stance for the next shot, a bunker, or even a ball that bounced out of bounds, maybe the penalty to a careless or poorly struck shot. Same with our Par-4 Holes which range from short to medium-long, but which, with the windy conditions, the change of direction of each hole, and the dogleg designs, make it for an excellent blend of challenges for golfers of all skill levels. However, the real strength of Elk City Golf & Country Club’s layout lies in a set of five excellent Par-3 holes that will test the patience and ability of all. Even the shortest of all, the 140-yard #10 is no “pushover”; it plays with a sidewind to a green that slopes away on all sides, making it even a smaller target. Holes #’s 5 & #7 are medium length Par-3 holes well guarded by sand or water, while the strength of holes #13 & #17 is their length, as both of which play over 200 yards.
