The City of Edmond
Oak Tree Golf Club is located to the north of Edmond, Oklahoma just off Sante Fe Avenue south of Waterloo Rd. Edmond is a suburb of Oklahoma City, located directly north of the metro on I-235 (known as the Broadway Extension).Considered to be slightly more affluent than some other metro cities, Edmond has grown tremendously over the past several years. With the University of Central Oklahoma contributing, Edmond's population is just over 70,000.
With a recently-renovated, small town-type downtown area, Edmond has all the stores and amenities you could need. Quail Springs Mall makes up its southwestern most point, or is just south of town, depending on who you ask. And recent development has stretched the city almost as far east as I-35.
