Ponca City Country Club

Ponca City Country Club sits in one of Oklahoma's most historically distinctive cities — a town that oil built in the early 20th century, when E.W. Marland's petroleum empire made it briefly one of the wealthiest places in the American interior. That civic ambition extended to institutions like the country club, which has long served as a social and recreational anchor for the community. The surrounding north-central Oklahoma landscape is rolling Cross Timbers country, where blackjack oak and post oak give way to open prairie, and the light in late afternoon takes on that particular golden quality the southern plains do so well.
