Attendees at the 2024 NAFUSA annual conference in Oklahoma City will have
the opportunity to play golf with other NAFUSA members and guests at the
historic Jimmie Austin Golf Club on Wednesday morning, September 25.
Registration for one of the available foursome, including roundtrip transportation from the conference hotel, will open along with registration for the conference itself in mid-July.
The Jimmie Austin Golf at the University of Oklahoma has a rich heritage
dating back to the 1940s when the land on which it is situated was a U.S. Navy
recreational center serving as an annex to the Norman Naval Air Station.
Construction began in 1949 on what was to become the University of
Oklahoma golf course, and the course opened for play in 1951. Famous
Oklahoman golf course architect Perry Maxwell was commissioned to build
the project. In 1996 an extensive renovation was completed, led by world –
renowned course architect Robert Cupp.
The Jimmie Austin course hosted the 2013 U.S. Women’s Amateur Public
Links Championship and NCAA Regional Championships in 2012, 2018, and
2022 (men’s) and 2013 and 2019 (women’s) and is scheduled to host more
MCAA Regional Championships in 2025.
The beautiful course, with major artery Bishop Creek running through it, has a
terrain of rolling hills, native grasses and trees. For the golfers among the
attendees, it promises to be a great way to start the 2024 Annual NAFUSA
Conference in OKC!
