About Us

Nestled along the scenic shores of Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees, The Coves at Bird Island began as a private hunting and game reserve before being thoughtfully developed in 1981 into one of northeastern Oklahoma’s premier lakefront communities. From the beginning, our vision has been to preserve the area’s natural beauty while creating an exceptional lifestyle defined by leisure, comfort, and privacy.

 

Today, that vision endures. The Coves seamlessly blends the tranquility of a natural lake environment with an array of refined amenities and services designed for an elevated living experience. Our unique 24-hour gated security—staffed by EMS-trained professionals—ensures peace of mind and prompt assistance whenever needed.

Residents enjoy an enviable selection of amenities, including:

• An 18-hole championship golf course and Pro Shop with membership and guest play options
• A 16-acre golf practice facility with putting green, driving range, and short game area
• Swimming pool
• Tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts
• Children’s playground
• Community Guest House available by reservation
• Clubhouse with game and event spaces
• Boat launch ramp and two community docks with long-term boat and PWC slip rentals
• 24-hour manned security gate

Spanning 662 acres of gently rolling terrain with five miles of pristine shoreline, The Coves is home to over 400 residences offering lakefront and golf course living at its finest.

Beyond our gates, residents enjoy access to nearby yachting clubs offering both formal and casual dining, four major marinas, vibrant sailing regattas, world-class fishing, and the spectacular Duck Creek Fourth of July fireworks celebration.

 

At The Coves at Bird Island, every day is an invitation to embrace the beauty, community, and serenity of life at the lake.
