JENKS, Okla. – On April 17, Suite Shots, a golf and entertainment facility, hosted a Ribbon Cutting ceremony at 12:30 p.m. at the Riverwalk Crossing in Jenks. The grand opening was celebrated with a ceremony and a series of events going on all day, even after the facility officially opened to the public at 3:00 p.m.
Suite Shots opened at 600 Riverwalk Terrace in Jenks, taking over the location previously held by TopGolf as well as GolfSuites, which had been the subject of some controversy with the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.
The renovated golf facility features 60 outdoor heated bays for visitors to play golf in, as well as 2 large event spaces, 36 slot machines, 4 bars serving both cocktails and mocktails, and a full-service restaurant that serves everything from burgers and sandwiches to pizza and nachos, as well as salads, wings, and desserts. The restaurant will be open starting at 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday and starting at 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
Suite Shots hosted a variety of events in honor of the grand opening, and partnered with the organization United Way to host a “Putt to Win” competition after it opened for business. The radio station 97.1 FM, the Sports Animal, was broadcasting live from the site from 4 to 6 p.m. to cover the event and to give away free tickets to an Oklahoma City Thunder game. In addition, pop-up vendors sold a wide variety of items on site from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Principal Chief Hill was extremely proud of the work that was put in by both Suite Shots and the Muscogee Nation’s Gaming Enterprises. However, as he mentioned while giving a speech at the ceremony, the Muscogee Nation’s work in bringing prosperity to the reservation is not finished.
“Ever since our ancestors stopped under a massive Council Oak tree after a long, difficult journey on the Trail of Tears, this river has been our home. It’s up to us to make sure it continues to run, to thrive, and to sustain growth for many years,” Chief Hill said.
He also made sure to thank both the City of Jenks and Suite Shots for all of their hard work as well.
“To our friends and partners here in the city of Jenks, thank you for your consistent willingness to work along with us to transform this region into a place that generations to come can be proud of what we’ve built together. To Mayor Box and the members of the Chamber of Commerce, mvto. To the team at Suite Shots, thank you for your trust and commitment to join us in transforming this property into a can’t-miss entertainment destination.”
