Grand Lake's Monkey Island got its name as a result of a visit to the zoo. There are lots of legendary (and entertaining) stories about how Monkey Island got its name, but this is the real one.
A family who owned much of the land that is now Monkey Island was on a trip to the Tulsa Zoo with friends. The Pensacola Dam was just completed, providing for the back-up of river flows to create Grand Lake.
As the friends contemplated the future, they gazed at the Monkeys on their little island at the zoo. As they discussed changes to the landscape once Grand Lake was filled, a friend commented, "You'll be like those Monkeys out on their little Monkey Island."
A reporter overheard the conversation, wrote a story - and the name stuck. Monkey Island looks a little different than it did in those days!
A Letter from the CEO
To our valued Shangri-La members and guests
It’s our favorite time of the year at Shangri-La Summer has arrived! Eddy’s Lakeside Bar is open, The Summit Restaurant has added Thursday-Monday lunch service, the Pool Bar is open, new menus at The Summit, Doc’s, Eddy’s, and The Galley have received rave reviews, membership numbers continue to rise, and the golf courses are filled with players enjoying two of the premier courses in the United States
I want to remind our members and neighbors that the golf courses have a single purpose for a single group of individuals – golfers! Monkey Island may very well have more golf carts than automobiles, but golf carts are NOT allowed on the Shangri-La courses for any purpose other than playing golf. Our cart paths are not a shortcut to other venues. Nor are they a place for sightseeing and joyriding We offer trail passes for our members who wish to use their own carts for golf, but the trail passes only allow course access while playing golf – and no carts without trail passes are allowed on the courses under any circumstances I am disappointed that abuse of the cart paths on the golf courses has reached the point that drastic action is necessary, but that time has arrived If a private cart is being used on the course to play golf and does not have a current trail pass, a trail pass will be issued for that cart and placed on the members’ bill. The only exception to this is the use of the convenience path that connects the Estates neighborhood
to Shangri-La Clubhouse/Summit
This path was put in place as direct access from the Estates to the Clubhouse as a matter of convenience and does not require a trail pass to be on the cart Any deviation off of this direct access path will be in violation of ShangriLa Policy related to unauthorized golf carts being on the course If you have already paid for a trail pass, but have not placed it on your windshield, the pre-paid passes are available at the Golf Shop If you do not have a trail pass, but would like to have one, contact Laura Barnes, Membership Manager, at 918-2577790 or email laura barnes@shangrilaok com Trail pass prices for the year (including tax) are $743 40 I appreciate your support of ShangriLa, related to this matter, in maintaining the value of your membership
We have a tremendous variety of entertainment options including live music at Doc’s Bar & Grill every Friday night and at Eddy’s Lakeside Bar every Saturday night The sports bar and arcade at The Anchor are fun for all ages and, of course, pickleball, tennis, basketball, Wiffle® Ball, sand volleyball, and cornhole are always popular for outdoor enthusiasts Boat rentals, yacht charters are available at the marina along with the only parasailing adventures in this part of the United States There’s fun for everyone at ShangriLa!
The biggest single day of the year is, of course, our Independence Day
Barry Willingham, President & CEO Barrywillingham@shangrilaok com
celebration which will be celebrated this year with a Family Fun Festival and the awesome Monkey Island Fireworks Show on Saturday, July 5 This incredible show can only be possible with your assistance and support. If you would like to join the dedicated supporters of the fireworks, please make your check payable to Monkey Island Fireworks and mail it to Monkey Island Fireworks, 30397 South 567 Road, Unit #63, Monkey Island, OK 74331 We couldn’t be more grateful for Fireworks Committee members Peggy Howard-Burgess, Doug Smith, and Mike Williams for their hard work raising money for this tremendous show each year I hope you will participate
As I complete six years as President and CEO, I am constantly reminded that I am so privileged to be associated with such an outstanding team and the best group of members in the world. Thank you for your support, your input, and for being such an important part of the Shangri-La Family! The entire Shangri-La team is excited about a fabulous season that is already well underway!

As is the case anywhere you travel, local laws are different I want to remind our members and guests about the uniqueness of Oklahoma’s liquor laws and regulations. No outside alcohol may be brought onto Shangri-La properties unless those beverages are kept and consumed exclusively in your rented hotel room Golfers may not bring their own alcoholic beverages for consumption on the golf course Beverages are available for legal purchase and consumption at Shangri-La while you are on property It’s not our rule It is the law – and violations could threaten the liquor license at the resort Similarly, no open containers of alcoholic beverages purchased on resort property are allowed to be taken off the property The only exception is partially consumed bottles of wine which can be recorked and taken off the property Beer may be purchased at the Ship Store and the Golf Shops for offpremises consumption as long as
they are not opened on property I cannot over-emphasize the importance of abiding by these laws for the protection of both our members and the resort.
We feature multiple dining & drinking options on property throughout the resort – Doc’s Bar & Grill, Eddy’s Lakeside Bar, The Monkey Grind, The Galley at the Anchor, the Pool Bar, the Turn House at the main clubhouse, the Canteen at The Battlefield, and the Summit Restaurant Each has a different menu to provide a variety of menu choices Shangri-La also offers several different membership options, each of which provides exclusive access to some amenities and member discounts at others I sincerely hope one of them is a perfect fit for you If you are not already a member, I look forward to having you as a member of the Shangri-La family.
For our valued members and welcomed guests, we are always here for you, anytime you have the urge to “Escape the Ordinary!”

the Oklahoma Hall of Fame
by Mike Williams Director of Communications and Government Relations
Shangri-La Resort owner Eddy Gibbs will be one of seven 2025 inductees into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame at ceremonies scheduled for November 13, 2025 Induction into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame is widely recognized as Oklahoma’s highest honor
Eddy was born at Fort Sill, Oklahoma and raised in Checotah by his mother Only 10 when his father passed away, Gibbs felt a strong need to provide for the family After graduation from high school, he began installing fences in Tulsa, followed by apprenticeships in Kansas City, Missouri and Bakersfield, California to perfect his trade.
He returned home to Oklahoma to start his own company and, eight years later, began manufacturing fence products Ameristar became the largest ornamental fence manufacturer in the world. When he sold the company, with terms that required the company to remain in Oklahoma, he distributed a portion of the proceeds from the sale to employees as a token of his appreciation
Close to his Owasso home, Gibbs’ weekend retreat is northeast Oklahoma’s Shangri-La Resort After the original resort had fallen into a state of disrepair, Eddy purchased the property in 2010 and restored the resort’s reputation, dramatically increasing tourism to the area and employment opportunities for local residents The resort, its amenities, and staff have received four RedBud Awards, the highest honor bestowed by the Oklahoma Travel Industry Association and the Oklahoma Department of Tourism & Recreation
A huge proponent of education, Eddy’s generosity resulted in the largest single gift in the United States to a private K-12 school With a strong respect and admiration for veterans and first responders, he built the Legacy of Liberty Memorial Park at Shangri-La in 2024
to honor the veterans of World War II and ensure younger generations have an accurate and exciting way to learn the history of our Nation’s heroes As an additional tribute, he co-authored and funded “Patriots in the Pacific” (2021), a WWII tour documentary and pictorial book. The Legacy of Liberty Park has been nominated for yet another prestigious RedBud Award in 2025
Recognized for his contributions in a multitude of arenas, Eddy has been inducted into the Fence Industry Hall of Fame, received the Community Appreciation Award from the Owasso Chamber of Commerce, and the Excellence in Business Award for his positive economic impact on northeast Oklahoma, among countless others including having been named Grand Laker of the Year He is featured in a fascinating interview with John Erling on the legendary “Voices of Oklahoma” series honoring those who have had the greatest impact on our state Eddy Gibbs will receive Oklahoma’s highest honor when he is inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame

Shangri-La Resort has transformed many times since the Monkey Island resort was created in 1969. In the 1970s (shown in top photographs) and 80s, Shangri-La was known as Oklahoma’s premier vacation getaway.

Eddy shares a Lifetime commitment to generously provide essential financial support and create advancement opportunity for others based on his firm belief that the liberty enjoyed by the citizens of America can only be preserved by healthy well-educated current and future generations of American youth Oklahoma is fortunate, indeed, to have Eddy Gibbs among its precious list of favorite sons!

There’s a New Chef in Town Terrell Miller takes over as Doc’s lead chef
by Shelly Schultz, Marketing Manager
Shangri-La opened the 2025 season with some big changes in the Food and Beverage department
The Summit got a facelift with new flooring and chairs, the menus at all venues have been updated, and one of Monkey Island’s most familiar faces has taken over operations at the newly redesigned Doc’s Bar and Grill
Chef Terrell Miller has spent over three decades in the food and beverage industry around Grand Lake
“I ran the Roadhouse for 13 years, ” said Miller “Some of the people that have been here for several years worked for me back in the day.”
Miller, a Grand Lake native said most of the clientele at Shangri-La recognize him either from the Roadhouse or the time he spent as a chef at Cherokee or Arrowhead Yacht Clubs.
Miller said his passion for cooking was developed at an early age “I have a brother and two sisters who all live in the area, ” Miller said
“I was the youngest, and there’s a big age difference between me and my brother”
Being the youngest, Miller had the opportunity to spend a lot of time in the kitchen with his mother growing up
“I guess you could say I just always had a knack for cooking ”
Director of Culinary & Beverage Experience John Havens II said he is happy to have Miller on staff and expects great improvements under
Shangri-La Director of Culinary & Beverage Experience John Havens II proved he was a seasoned pro at roasting oysters at Shangri-La’s inaugural Oyster Roast
his direction
“He’s bringing a lot of the Island with him,” said Chef Havens II. In addition to his sibling, Miller has three grown children who all live fairly close
He is excited for the opportunity to oversee operations at Doc’s Bar & Grill.
“I don’t want Doc’s to be a stop on someone ’ s destination, I want Doc’s to be the destination,” Miller said “I don’t want people to just come here to eat I want them to come here for the experience ”
Under the direction of Chef John Havens II, the dining experiences have changed throughout the resort Doc’s Bar & Grill is a local favorite, serving American Classic handhelds and live entertainment every Friday night - karaoke on Thursdays. The Galley at The Anchor is more geared towards the sports fans with an Italian flair
The Summit remains a fine dining experience exclusive to Shangri-La Members, except on Sunday when it’s open to the public
“Shuck
‘ em if you’ve got ‘em!” And plenty of people did just that at ShangriLa’s Oyster
Roast at The Battlefield
Chef Terrell Miller

5 Pool hours: weather permitting, the pool is open for your enjoyment seven days a week from 8:00 a m -11:00 p m
Enjoy the summer – but please remember the few rules we have. They are important!
The Old Bulldog Band performs at Grand Lake once a year. This year it was at Shangri-La’s “Back to the Boats” Food & Wine Festival – and they did not disappoint!
Sometimes the music is just so great you MUST dance! That’s what happened at Shangri-La’s Food & Wine Festival when the Old Bulldog Band took the stage.
