Dornick Hills Country Club

Lake Texoma, less than an hour's drive to the east, is larger than Lake Murray and is known for excellent bass fishing. It has a hotel, cabins and two 18 hole golf courses. Also, there is a recreational park with go-carts, miniature golf and batting cages.

Other nearby parks include Turner Falls, Chickasaw National Recreation Area and Blue River.

Ardmore has three 18-hole golf courses.

• Dornick Hills, a private country club;
• Lakeview, a city-run public facility;
• Lake Murray, a state-run public course.

The City of Ardmore maintains more than a dozen city parks including Ardmore Regional Park, a resource which would be envied by many larger cities. Regional Park features paved walking trails winding through a natural landscape, playground equipment, softball and soccer fields and access to City Lake.

Noble Foundation Events
The Noble Foundation sponsors a number of employee social and recreational events each year. An annual picnic brings friendly competition and family fun to the campus in the springtime. A sports committee organizes teams among employees and their family members for local volleyball, bowling, golf and other tournaments. Throughout the year, the Foundation has social mixers and drawings for gift certificates and opera and musical tickets. The annual Christmas party is an opportunity to dress up a little and mingle with colleagues.
