Oak Tree Golf Club in Oklahoma City will reopen in July 2009 under a new name, Oak Tree National.
The new name represents updates to the club, including a newly renovated course, a teaching facility with state-of-the-art technology and Golf Magazine Top 100 golf teacher E. J. Pfister and a higher level of service, putting the members-only golf club on the path to becoming a nationally renowned club.
Oklahoma businessman Ed Evans purchased Oak Tree in 2008 with hopes of restoring and improving the golf course and bringing national recognition to the program.
"We are very excited about changes coming to Oak Tree National," Evans said. "Our vision for the course has finally become a reality, and we can't wait to share it with our members."
With the re-branding, Oak Tree leadership also released a new logo, keeping the oak tree as a prominent element to symbolize the history and excellence for which the club is known.
Details about the golf course's new design will be announced in July, in conjunction with the grand opening of Oak Tree National.
Built in 1974, Oak Tree National previously hosted the 1984 U.S. Amateur, 1988 PGA Championship, 2000 PGA Club Pro Championship and the 2006 Senior PGA Championship.
