What does a perfect day behind the gates feel like? Picture sunrise over manicured fairways, a quick swing check before lunch, and sunset on a terrace while kids splash in the pool. If you’ve wondered what life in Gaillardia really looks like, you’re in the right place. In this guide, you’ll walk through a full day in the community, learn how the club and HOA work, and get a clear snapshot of home styles and pricing so you can plan with confidence. Let’s dive in.
Morning in Gaillardia
Start your day with quiet. Many homes back to greenbelts, lakes, or fairways, so a coffee on the patio feels like a mini retreat. If you prefer a morning outing, the nearby Chisholm Creek district offers cafés and quick breakfast spots just a short drive from the gates. Explore options at the mixed‑use hub on Chisholm Creek’s site.
School run and short drives
Many Gaillardia addresses are assigned to Deer Creek Public Schools. Always verify school assignments for a specific property with the district or the listing. The short, low‑stress drive to drop‑off is a common part of the weekday rhythm here.
Quick errands nearby
Groceries, pharmacies, and services cluster around Memorial Road, Quail Springs, and Chisholm Creek. You can knock out a grocery run, swing by a boutique, and be back home fast. That convenience makes it easy to keep your mornings unhurried.
Midday: Golf, fitness, and wellness
Gaillardia centers on a private country club at 5300 Gaillardia Boulevard, Oklahoma City, OK 73142. The property includes a French‑Normandy–inspired multi‑level clubhouse, an Olympic‑sized pool, a sports complex, and fitness and spa facilities. Get a feel for the setting on the club’s site and its About Us page.
Tee times and practice
If golf is part of your life, this is a highlight. The course is an 18‑hole championship layout that plays about 7,240 yards (par 72) from the back tees, with water and bunker features shaping strategy. You can confirm course details on GolfLink’s Gaillardia overview. On busy days or in bad weather, members head to the Gaylord Learning Center for instruction and indoor simulator work. It is a practical way to keep your game sharp year‑round.
Courts, pool, and the club grille
Not a golfer? Midday often means a cardio class, a training session in the fitness center, or court time for tennis and pickleball. Young families gravitate to the playground and the pool deck in warm months. Towel service and a smoothie or salad from the grille make it easy to linger between activities. See a snapshot of member life on the membership experience page.
Afternoon around OKC
Nature break at Martin Park
When you want trees instead of fairways, you’re a short drive from Martin Park Nature Center. Trails, birding spots, and educational programs offer a peaceful contrast to the club scene. Plan a walk using the City of Oklahoma City’s Martin Park page.
Shopping and family fun
Late afternoons often shift to errands and easy outings. Chisholm Creek blends dining, retail, and family entertainment, including options like Topgolf. It is a convenient way to transition from daytime activities to dinner without crossing town. Browse what is nearby on the Chisholm Creek site.
Evenings at the club and nearby
Club dining and member events
Evenings bring the community together. The clubhouse supports both formal and casual dining, with terrace seating for sunset views and cozy rooms for a quieter night. Seasonal events and family nights add a social rhythm to the calendar. For current details and schedules, refer to the membership experience overview.
Nearby dinner go‑tos
If you decide to dine out, Memorial Road and Chisholm Creek offer a range of sit‑down restaurants and casual spots. Locals often mention Charleston’s, Bricktown Brewery, and Earl’s for easy weeknights, with plenty of additional options for date night in the Chisholm Creek cluster. Hours and menus change, so check directly before you go.
Homes, architecture, and the market
Architectural style and setting
You will see French‑Normandy and French Country influences throughout the neighborhood, along with English Tudor, Mediterranean, and Traditional designs. Lots vary from quarter‑acre parcels to multi‑acre estate sites. Public pages often describe the overall master plan as occupying several hundred acres, commonly around 600 acres for the broader community. Exact acreage by parcel can vary. Confirm specifics with the club or county records when a property catches your eye.
Gated living, HOA, and club membership
Gaillardia is a guarded, gated community with HOA support for common‑area maintenance and entries. Recent listings show annual HOA fees in the several‑thousand‑dollar range, with examples around roughly $6,500 to $8,800 per year. Fees can differ by section and lot size. Always review the current MLS listing and HOA documents for what is included.
Club membership is a separate program from the HOA. The country club offers categories such as Full Golf, Junior Golf, and Lifestyle, with initiation and dues handled by the club, not the HOA. For current categories and pricing, contact the membership office through the club’s membership page.
Pricing and how to read it
Gaillardia is a luxury enclave with a broad range of resale values. Public market reports in recent years place the median sale price in the mid‑six to low‑seven figures. For example, reports have shown medians near the mid‑$1.5 million range during 2025 and around $1.9 million in early 2026. Month‑to‑month numbers can swing because sales counts are small at this price point. In practice, you will see homes from roughly the low seven figures up to several million, with premiums for golf and water views, newer construction, or larger estate lots. The smartest move is to review active and recent comps for the specific property type you want.
A day that fits your life
Young families
Mornings feel manageable with short school drives and fast errand loops. Kids can spend afternoons at the pool or playground, and weekends often include casual meals at the clubhouse or an outdoor walk at Martin Park. It is a balanced routine of activity and calm.
Golfers and empty nesters
Think early tee times or a focused practice session, then lunch on the terrace. Afternoons might be a fitness class or time on the pickleball courts, followed by a low‑key dinner and a sunset stroll. The social calendar makes it easy to connect at your own pace.
Remote professionals
Quiet streets and private outdoor spaces help workdays stay focused. A midday workout breaks up the schedule, and nearby coffee or dinner spots keep evenings easy. If you host, the clubhouse delivers a polished setting without extra effort at home.
