The original 1800s drawings and gothic details by architects Pugin and Barry were used by Stromberg for the Winstar reproduction. With the Westminster Palace, it is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of London's most famous tourist attractions, it has the largest four-faced chiming clock and is the third tallest free-standing clock tower in the world.

Designed by the creative team at Stromberg, the building's exterior façade begins in London, England and finishes in the far reaches of Asia. The exterior of the Winstar World Casino is a walking tour of architectural history and style. Collaborating hand in hand with the Architectural Administration Department of the Chickasaw Nation, the end result is both a showcase of Stromberg's production capabilities and an homage to the masters of architecture that have come before. For this endeavor, Stromberg utilized its full production capacity, creative design and material options to create a masterpiece for the visual appreciation of visitors to the gaming facility located on Interstate 35 in southern Oklahoma.

You could easily spend an hour or two prepping your game. One thing about WInstar that needs mentioned. We played in 4:05 on a Sunday afternoon - not bad. Pretty cool and they even knew who I was from 30+ years ago! Good group to get paired up with. Happened to be paired up with two guys from my hometown in Pennsylvania. The big clubhouse is now open - no more trailer! The weather was perfect - barely any wind (a rarity here) and 80 degrees. Redbud layout is mostly the original course at WS - very fun, mostly open, some good strategic shots needed. Rough is still pretty penal but rarely in play. Fairways were mostly good, just a few bare spots. Some areas around the greens are still growing in or are void of bermudagrass. Redbud's greens were very firm although not exceptionally fast.

Both courses at Winstar are still recovering from freeze/drought/green rebuilds.
