Ahoy, there!
We invite you to explore our website to learn more about us, who we are, and what we do as members of the Grand Lake Sailing Club.
While each member brings to the GLSC a unique array of experiences and outside interests, the most common thing we have is the passion for sailing on the water with our boats. No matter how you enjoy the water and sailing, you will have more fun with friends and fellow boaters at GLSC on the Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees in Oklahoma.
The Grand Lake Sailing Club is a private club that offers various boating activities and social events to all who love sailing. Situated on the water’s edge, the clubhouse and large covered deck reflect a welcoming sign for all sailors.
Being the only sailing club in Grove, Oklahoma, GLSC is dedicated to exploring and helping all members to maximize their sailing experience.

The Grand Lake Sailing Club, established in 1962, started as the Port Grove Sailing Club when a few members wished to have a sailing club on Grand Lake. In 1972, plans were made to purchase 10 beautiful acres, where the present property now stands, located on Dilar Cove off of the main body of Grand Lake.
Formed out of love for sailing, GLSC has kept the passion alive through exciting racing activities. The club has evolved from a sailing community to a family. There’s always something in store for everybody, whether you are an experienced sailor or still learning the basics of sailing.
