Southwest Oklahoma’s Premiere Golf and Residential Community Offers Private-Club Experience via Value-Laden Packages
(Southwest Oklahoma) – The Territory Golf and Country Club, an award-winning property just outside the town of Duncan, celebrates its fifth year of championship golf and top-of-the-bell-curve amenities this month.
When Rick and Barbara Braught set out to create The Territory, the mandates were family-focused amenities and a stellar golf course – all leading to a memorable atmosphere for members and guests. The result is an acclaimed course and a community in which they see their children’s children being raised.
“From Day 1, our plan was to go well beyond fairways and greens and create a complete experience,” says Rick Braught. “The awards and accolades have been tremendous, but it’s our members and guests who come first.”
Upon opening, Golfweek named The Territory a Top 10 New Course in the country and followed by recently ranking the Randy Heckenkemper design in its “Top 50 Residential Courses” list. Additionally, Golf Digest has included The Territory in its “Best-in-State” rankings.
The Territory has drawn the attention of tournament directors, too. The modified target-style layout, featuring multiple tees to accommodate any skill level, has hosted the Oklahoma State Amateur, Oklahoma Senior State Amateur, an NCAA Div. II Super Regional and a stop on the Adams Pro Golf Tour Series. General Manager Tim Johnson also was named a “Most Admired Operator” by Golf Inc. Magazine.
Perhaps the most telling aspect of The Territory’s quality and commitment to customer service is the fact that membership has grown – despite the country’s recent economic downturn. While other clubs have struggled to maintain numbers, The Territory has thrived.
Heralded as a private club, The Territory offers its acclaimed fairways to any golf aficionado via value-laden stay-and-play packages. Each stay-and-play home features two spacious bedrooms, living room, full kitchen and baths and rates include one round of golf per night’s stay, with additional rounds available at the current guest fee. Package pricing per person is:
Single: $275 per night
Double: $225 per night
Triple: $195 per night
Foursome: $175 per night
Golf is the calling card at this growing residential development, but The Territory is flush with luxurious amenities such as the Prairie House – headed by Chef Keith Zinke – and myriad outdoor activities. The Prairie House offers members and guests some of the finest cuisine in the region, while a swimming pool and multi-purpose sport court cater to the children, as well as the young at heart.

About The Territory
Prospector’s Ridge, Phase I of the residential development at The Territory, is in the early stages of development. Prices of lots available range from $61,000 to $138,000. If a similar, high-quality property like The Territory were located in the nearby Dallas-Fort Worth area it would likely cost three times as much.
With five sets of tees – ranging from 4,845 to 7,110 yards – the modified target-golf course offers playability and enjoyment to players of all ages and skill levels. The greens are an A1-A4 creeping bentgrass blend, the tees, fairways and roughs are Tifsport Bermudagrass and native vegetation frames the playing corridors.
Located on the historic Chisholm Trail, The Territory is within a short drive of lakes for boating and fishing and mere minutes from a pair of schools, shopping, dining and churches. In addition, Duncan Regional Hospital was named to the Solucient Top 100 Hospitals list – a study of more than 3,000 hospitals that identifies industry benchmarks by recognizing U.S. hospitals that have achieved excellence in quality of care, operational efficiency, financial performance and adaptation to the environment.
Owners Rick and Barbara Braught – members of the McCasland Oil family – are graduates of the University of Oklahoma and remain active through university fund raising, support and holding season tickets to Sooner athletic events. Barbara (BA 1986, MBA 1990) is the granddaughter of T.H. McCasland – the founder of Mack Oil Company – and serves as Executive Director of the McCasland Foundation, while Rick (BBA 1984, MBA 1989) oversees numerous companies.
