Teenagers on e-bikes and dirt bikes have reportedly turned Surrey Hills Golf Club’s back nine into a recurring damage zone, leaving broken flagsticks, scarred greens and a restroom repair bill in the thousands. The club says the group has been showing up for months, and now wants help identifying the riders. A police report is open.
According to KOKH, the riders have driven across course greens, broken flagsticks and caused thousands of dollars in damage to the back-nine restroom. Surrey Hills also told the station that the youths use extremely vulgar language when confronted. The report did not identify the riders.
The course is located in Yukon, just west of Oklahoma City, according to Surrey Hills Golf Club’s contact page. The club is a private golf facility with an 18-hole course, restaurant, pro shop and practice areas, making the damage a disruption for both golfers and staff.
Metro Police Are Already Warning About Reckless E-Bike Riding
The incident arrives as e-bike complaints are spreading across the Oklahoma City metro. Edmond police recently warned about a rise in reckless riding involving high-powered electric bikes, scooters and motorcycles, with officers urging parents to address dangerous operation on public roads, as reported by KOCO.
That Edmond warning did not connect the Surrey Hills riders to any other incidents, but it reflects a broader concern over youth riders using motorized bikes in places not designed for them. At a golf course, the consequences can be especially costly because tires and repeated passes can damage carefully maintained turf, greens and course fixtures.
Police Report Remains Open As Club Seeks Information
The club is asking anyone with information, photographs or names connected to the group to contact Surrey Hills directly, KOKH reported. No suspects have been publicly identified, and the station’s report did not announce any arrests or charges.
What Accountability Could Look Like
If investigators identify the riders, the case could involve both criminal allegations and questions about who pays for the repairs. Oklahoma’s published statutes say a person arrested for or convicted of trespass may be held liable for damage to personal or real property while trespassing, according to the Oklahoma Legislature; whether that provision applies will depend on what investigators establish.
