Reviewed: Played on:Dec 26, 2007 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Most holes are well designed and will offer the casual players some nice challenges.
- The elevation changes, the creek and the nice park setting really makes this a pleasant place for disc golf.
- The baskets are in good shape and the teepads also, although they could be more level with the ground.
- Helpful locals! I've never had an for me unknown person essentially dive into a creek to fetch my disc for me back home in Sweden, but here I did!

Cons:

- The park is a busy place and they're not all disc golfers which means you sometimes will have to wait in order to play.
- A parking lot is in play on hole #11, you never want stand by the tee and feel like your shot might cause damage to a car.
- The course could use some tools for fetching your disc from the creek because it's definitely in play.
- Could use some more longer holes.

Other Thoughts:

The fact that so many other activities interact with your play keeps my rating of this course down at 3. However, I see a higher potential of this course with some modifications if that could lead to keeping other activities seperated from the disc golf course.

Beginners Paradise 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 11, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Challenging course for this novice.
Nice elevation changes from the tees.
I'm a little under 300 off the tee, so this course was just about the right length.

Cons:

Holes 16, 17 and 18 are simply long and straight, not much character.
Not much else negative to say about McClure.

Other Thoughts:

I drove from Dallas Texas to play this course and I wasn't disappointed. This is probably not a favorite of those who prefer heavily wooded, 500 plus foot holes. If you live within a day's travel, by all means take the time to enjoy this one.

Lot of Variety 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 22, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- Nice tee pads and baskets. Everything seems to be in pretty good shape.
- Plenty of variety and challenges. The creek comes into play many times through the round, but usually is not a problem even if a disc does end up there.
- Good combination of birdie opportunities as well as hard to get pars.

Cons:

- No signs at all!
- It would be hard to find your way around the first time out without someone who hasn't played it. The first time I played, wound up spending half an hour looking for the 3rd hole. Finally got behind some locals and they led us through the course.
- Park can be very crowded. Most people are oblivious to the fact that they are having a picnic right in the middle of a hole. Kind of frustrating.

Other Thoughts:

- Fun course that needs some maintenance in regards to the signs. Other than that, it is a fun and challenging course.

Nice find in Tulsa 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 14, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Pros: I love how easily accessible this course is from key parts of the city (airport for me), and the fact that you can play it quickly, and with little chance of losing a disc.

All concrete tee pads, plenty of length and in great shape. The course has Mach baskets in very good condition. Facilities are nice, and there are baseball, basketball, and tennis facilities in the park as well if you are so inclined.

This was a somewhat short, fun course, with a variety of shots to test your accuracy skills. The course actually makes very good use of a very limited amount of space it has to work with.

My memorable holes:
1 - Throwing out from a stand of trees, up a hill and over the path to a downslope to the creek that flows through the park, great design and a tough shot!
3 - I really like shots from an elevated position, and into a stand of trees, and this one is just that. Almost got that deuce!
5 - Tough shot. The ground slopes down from right to left, with the right being tee level, then at the bottom of the slope is the outfield of the baseball field, just left of the fairway. Basket is then on the far slope of the hill about 350+ feet from the tee. Took an OB penalty on this one and had to retrieve a disc from the ball field (should have thrown FH).
8 - Throw over the winding creek, but make sure you don't fade out early or you'll be in knee deep water searching for it.
11 - Don't turn it over! Or you will again be searching in the creek. This hole forces you to stay in a narrow fairway between the walking path and the creek, placement is critical for even a par.
15 - Playing over the big creek again, deceptively simple-looking hole. Just stay right (with FH or anhyzer) and you'll be parked for a deuce. But watch out for the trees in the way which can knock you OB onto the road or into the creek.
17 - Break out the big-arm! This is a wide long hole to test your distance, but a reasonably narrow fairway forcing you to stay somewhat accurate.
18 - Another long hole, but you have to either go over or under a couple trees about 100 feet from the tee, than another 400 or so past that to a basket on a downsloping hill. This hole ate my lunch. Then burped in my face. It looked so easy from the tee but I ended up taking a 6 on it.

Cons:

Cons: No map available (that I could find)? Very few tee signs, and in bad condition at that. I was very fortunate to have a local throw the round with me and therefore didn't have much trouble getting around the course. I can't imagine what kind of confusion you'd be in if you have to go at this alone.
There was a LOT of other traffic in the park, as it seems to be used by a large population of people. I only list this as a con since you have to wait a lot of times to make your shot so you don't hit the people that just meander without purpose across the fairways or around baskets.


Other Thoughts:

Other Thoughts: My rating of a 3.5 is based on the fact that the course is very fun, and is well laid out. What it needs is mapping! Please someone in the Tulsa area get a PDF map on here (the pictures on the TDS website help but not great with course navigation) and it will make this course a wonderful experience for someone traveling through. I did not consider the non-DG traffic in my rating as this cannot really be helped in a public park in the middle of a city.

If you are in Tulsa and want a challenge, I suggest Blackhawk and Redhawk primarily, but if you have time or want a quick, really fun round, PLEASE check this course out, you will not be disappointed!

Good Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 4, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice course with lots of different shots. Not a whole lot of shade but theres some. The baskets are good as well. The course has a good mix of short and long and shots. Kind of trashy in the middle, whn we played there were a bunch of homeless on the course. All in all good course though.

Cons:

Some of the tee signs are missing and the tee pads are step up pads which is a little difficult for long run ups. Lots of people so get ready for a long round.

Other Thoughts:

The creek looks like it could get up high after a rain. Thie is pretty close to Dovillio.

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 24, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

One of my fav's in Tulsa. Good park right in the middle of town with plenty of length and variety. Can get quite windy which adds a whole new challenge to the opening holes where deuces should be easy.

Cons:

Multiple activities can be going on in the park so it can get busy with people not discing.

Other Thoughts:

Make a special trip to play this course if you can. It won't disappoint.

Looks fun, be ready to go fishin' 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 31, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

Fun course, easily found for out of towners like me, friendly folk around for guidance. Creek through middle adds various challenges

Cons:

Not well signed (many have been vandalized or stolen), some tees in poor condition (dirt tees). This park is a flood control zone.

Other Thoughts:

Park looks busy at times - you may have to play around some holes if families set up picnic in the middle of the course.

Pros:

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 23, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Very good lengthy park, variety of shots forced by the layout of the course and one or two holes that you can just let go and really hurl the disc, the signs that could be read had nice pictures of the holes and marked the distance

Cons:

Some Kids shot up alot of the signs with paintballs and the signs cannot be read, the ones that could be read did not list the pars.

Other Thoughts:

playing along the river was a good challenge the course was well designed and is now one of my favorites

McClure Park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 23, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

This is a very nice course. There are a wide variety of shots and several tee boxes on top of hills which makes for some really fun drives. Nice park as well.

Cons:

Grass could use some mowing but it was okay anyway's. The creek is a nice hazard but take some shorts in case you drop one in the water. Signs could use some repair.

Other Thoughts:

Course is extremely long. Lots of walking is required including up and down hills. Easy to navigate and a nice challenge. Really enjoy this course.

Some Open Launching 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 22, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Concrete tee pads. Good layout and flow. Spaced out wonderfully. A little bit of control is definately required around the creek.

Cons:

None. Can lose a disc real easy when the creek is up.

Other Thoughts:

I've always liked McClure, it could be the tee boxes atop the hills. Course will take a little bit longer to play than most. The course takes advantage of the huge park, and you'll walk a little more than usual.
