With more than 1.1 million members in more than 2,100 local lodges nationwide, the Elks are one of the largest and most active fraternal organizations in the world! Organized on February 16, 1868, we are the largest American Benevolent Organization in the United States of America, consisting of American Citizens of the United States and its Territories.
The Order of the Elks is a benevolent organization, not a “Social-Business Club”. It is dedicated to Service to our Communities and our Country. The various phases of our work, whether it be with the fortunate or unfortunate youths, care of the needy, Veterans Service, furtherance of Americanism, or other Benevolent activities,… offer you a wide choice from which you may choose areas of interest.
Upon attaining membership in our Order, you will become part of a National Organization, which has members from every prominent city of our Country, who are respected Citizens in their Communities and are proud to say that they belong to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America.
Your local Order is involved in Civic/Community Affairs such as drug awareness, charities, community welfare, community affairs, law and order, summer camps, poster contests, essay contests, blood drives, Boy and Girl Scouts, Veterans Service, and youth sports. Your local lodge has something for every member from golf and tennis to monthly birthday parties, bridge, bingo, dances, and swimming.
The men of the City of Duncan who had foresight and determination first began the Elks Lodge & Country Club in the 1930’s and then made it into a first-class golf and recreation center in the early 1950’s. They did an outstanding job! Their work has met the needs of the community in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
To accompany the excellent golf course, our facility offers a full service country club to satisfy every member of the family. The main club house occupies the upper level and is spacious and can accommodate a variety of functions, from weddings and receptions, and business meetings to large member activities. The lower level offers the Pro Shop, 19th Hole, Card Room, and Men’s & Women’s Locker rooms. Check out our Facilities page for more information.
