Turner's Lodge 
Pro Golf Museum

The PGA Tour arrived in Burneyville, marking the beginning of the "Waco Turner Open" and cementing our status as the only public course in Oklahoma to host both major professional tours. This era brought a "Wild West" spirit to the game, with Waco himself often greeting players and spectators with his eccentric, generous hospitality. We became a place where professional competition met a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere.

Winners of the Waco Turner Open

1961 — Butch Baird, 281
1962 — Johnny Pott, 276
1963 — Gay Brewer, 280
1964 — Pete Brown, 280

History was made on our 18th green when Pete Brown secured a thrilling victory at the Waco Turner Open, becoming the first African American golfer to win an official PGA Tour event. This moment remains the heartbeat of our heritage, a testament to breaking barriers and the inclusive spirit of the game that we still cherish today. It wasn't just a win for Pete; it was a win for the future of golf, right here in our backyard.

We entered a new era of excellence when the renowned architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr. was brought in to redesign the course, elevating the layout to the championship caliber you play today. Alongside this master renovation, we adopted the name "Falconhead Resort & Country Club," signaling our evolution from a private lodge to a comprehensive community destination. The new name reflected the soaring ambition and refined landscape that awaited our guests.

Honoring our golden age, we celebrated the grand reopening of the Turner's Lodge Pro Golf Museum, a dedicated space ensuring the stories of Waco Turner, Pete Brown, and the LPGA stars are never lost. This revitalization project allows you to step off the course and straight into the archives, viewing rare memorabilia that connects your round of golf to the legends of the past. It is our way of saying that when you play here, you are part of a much bigger story.
