Parking is kind of far from hole one in my opinion. (I didn't know of you could park in the grass)

Other Thoughts:
I think Eagle Valley is one of the most challenging courses in Oklahoma. The Nest is a great compliment to it.
The Nest is a more rec friendly course that uses a wooded area on the side of the hill by the lake just past hole 9. In fact, if you wanted to play all 36 holes back to back, you could just walk over to hole 1 on The Nest after finishing hole 9, then after finishing hole 18, just cross the road to the alternate tee for hole 10 and continue Eagle Valley.
The course isn't that long, most of the holes are in the woods using elevation on many of the holes. There are several memorable holes along the ridge of the hill that has some interesting rock formations you get to throw around.
Only a couple of the holes are open, most are technical.
While the tee boxes are short, most are made well and look good.
I really didn't see any spots to loose any discs, I guess if you landed under some leaves or in the deep rough you might have a hard time finding a disc. Even though the course is next to the lake, it really does not come into play unless you really have a bad shot.
Would I play here again? Oh yea, I want to play Eagle Valley again someday, I would probably play them as a 36 hole loop if I did. I would say this puts Lake Stroud on a must play Oklahoma list for me.
