“Since my first year working for the All Pro Tour, Muskogee, OK has been a favorite stop of mine on the schedule. The people of Muskogee and support from the club is something you won’t find anywhere else and they always make our staff and players feel right at home. From the parties, to the clinics, to the pro-ams, and an event happening every night, you can never have a bad time in Muskogee! The whole community really buys in and supports the event. In addition, the Muskogee Golf Club is a Perry Maxwell course that always tests our players' accuracy with tree-lined narrow fairways and challenging greens. The course demands for the cream of the crop to rise to the top! Excited to be back soon!” Taylor Deike, All Pro Tour Tournament Manager.
