Long course that rewards accurate distance 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 31, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course has a good mix of open and wooded holes as well as a variety of shots that will test your accuracy.

Course opens with a downhill bomber that resolves into an incredibly steep, uphill putt and approach.

Hole 2 provides a chance at birdie for those who missed hole 1, but every birdie on this course is earned.

Fairways are more than fair (hole 17 is debatable) and the rough is rough.

Course was well maintained with solid tee pads and most holes had accurate tee signs with the hole layout.

Great use of elevation and green placement.

Cons:

Course layout has some issues with a couple holes requiring you to backtrack the fairway to access the path to the next hole.

Wind is a common battle in Oklahoma and this course is no exception, leaving you well exposed on many holes, albeit no fault of the design.

Hole 17 will be the crux of many rounds on this course: 1200ft par 5 along the damn of Lake Stroud that more often than not will be the windiest part of the course. 3 well placed drives for a chance at birdie are made difficult by water on your right and a steep right to left slope on your left which you are throwing along the entire way to the basket. This hole's length will seem redundant to most players.

Hole 18 provides the possibility of a birdie finish for big arms but is an underwhelming finish to a long course.

Other Thoughts:

This is a fun course for intermediate players and above but will likely be frustrating for novice players.
