Oklahoma’s Premier Golf and Residential Community Adds Members Looking for Top-of-the-Bell-Curve Amenities, Family-friendly Amenities
(Southwest Oklahoma) – The Territory Golf and Country Club, an award-winning residential community just outside the town of Duncan, continues impressive membership growth despite the troubled economy.
While other clubs have seen sharp declines in numbers over the last year, The Territory has actually seen an increase of more than 15 percent. A large part of the credit goes to the club’s interest-free financing option, but an equal amount can be attributed to the club’s focus on family-friendly amenities.
“We’ve found that many of our new members are coming to us because of the financial flexibility of our interest-free financing option,” says Rick Braught, who along with his wife Barbara, owns The Territory. “At the same time, they, as well as our existing members, see the many family activities available as added value at a time when discretionary spending is down.”
The interest-free financing allows prospects to become a full golf member and take up to eight years to pay off their membership deposit – all with no interest being charged. The limited-time offer allows for flexible payment schedules to be arranged.
The Territory’s family-focus is evident in activities like its Flick ‘n Float – a “dive-in movie” at the pool shown on a large, inflatable movie screen, and Family Game Nights that include fun challenges on the sport court and in the pool.
The Territory recently expanded its popular stay-and-play packages, as well. The luxurious, graciously appointed accommodations feature two-to-four spacious bedrooms, a living room, full kitchen and baths. Package pricing per person is:
Single: $275 per night
Double: $225 per night
Triple: $195 per night
Foursome: $175 per night
Designed by Randy Heckenkemper, The Territory is a modified target-style layout. In addition to being named a Top 50 Residential Course by Golfweek, the layout also has been designated as one of Oklahoma’s best courses by Golf Digest. The course features multiple tees to accommodate any skill level and boasts a state-of-the-art practice facility and three-hole short course where the teaching professionals conduct instruction for those looking to improve their game.

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.
