Great for beginners 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 1, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great open course for beginners and those still learning the sport. Not many trouble spots where you could lose a disc but at the same time not very challenging. Hole 10 may be my favorite hole to play in all of OKC. Tee box is on a hill and you can really let it rip. Generally not very busy, people tend to be very nice.

Cons:

Very little length on this course BUT that forces you to really learn your discs and distances and work discs you might not normally use. Almost a perfect 1 or 2 disc course. This course holds water like no other place I've played - wear crappy shoes if it rained at all in the full week prior to play. Lack of trees means even a moderate wind (which is often in Oklahoma) can play havoc with discs.

Other Thoughts:

I live close so I play this course regularly. It's really helped my skill level and I can go all out on each of the holes without worry of losing a disc (which happens to me about every other round when I play elsewhere). Great for beginners I could see how it would quickly become boring though, especially with some of the great other local options.

Great for quick round 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 18, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great practice course and beginner/novice course. 40 minutes to play. Always nice people out playing. Never been crowded. It's 12 holes, not 9. Great for night golf. Long concrete tee pads on every hole. Nice disc catcher baskets. Nice mix of obstacles and elevation changes.

Cons:

gets a little swampy after rain. It would be nice to add 6 more holes to the west of the basket on hole 6, but whatever.

Other Thoughts:

Check it out if you're in the area. Not a bad little course.

Nice 12-ish Hole Challenge 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 16, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Well maintained with concrete tees, some moderate shot variety. Innova Disccatcher baskets in good condition (rust on a few chains but nothing awful). Course is somewhat lefty-heavy, but that is a refreshing change considering some of the courses in the metro. Still, many lines to be had on most holes and you can challenge yourself try some of the not obvious ones. Have never seen roving bands of players on the course so it doesn't appear to be in the "too popular/busy" category. There's a little elevation in play, mostly on 9 and 10 (up hill, down hill). I like the incorporation of the stones on 6 and 8 and the 'signature' tree on 5.

Cons:

Distance isn't a feature of this course though there are a couple of 300+ holes and one 370+ hole. Some sub-200 ft holes won't challenge experienced players. Other than the above mentioned holes there's very little elevation change of not, but makes use of what it has, especially around the pins. Hole 6 and 7 play over and around a sidewalk, pavilion, and parking lot just north of a dorm. Could be problematic during school hours. Number 8 finishes close to a parking lot and number 11 runs along the walking track but it shouldn't be in your flightpath unless griplock happens. No water to speak of other than the casual variety. A few tees are just a little close to the previous pins and if there was more traffic on the course, you could see a bit of a problem creep up from raining plastic.

Other Thoughts:

A fun, quick 12-hole course on the north side of the town. Feels a lot like Will Rogers with the open, wind-friendly fairways and some trees that just seem to be in the right place, but with much less trash and traffic. Course wasn't busy on a Saturday during the school year but you still need to be aware of pedestrian and vehicle traffic in couple of places. All that said, it's a fun course that gives ample opportunity to work on your mid game, upshots and putting. The long downhill #10 encourages you to empty your bag and work on your drives, especially for varying wind conditions. I recommend playing this course for a good warm-up before heading to Tye F. Cunningham in Edmond.

No longer a waste of time. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 19, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is obviously a recently retooled course.

The holes have been reordered from what is depicted on the course homepage.

The baskets are new and every hole will soon have a concrete tee pad, as evidenced by the frames at every hole. The grass areas around the tees are flat and level and provide a good temporary tee surface.

The course was easy to navigate, played well and took advantage of the tree lines to create some challenges.

The campus is trimmed and manicured and makes for a visually appealing course.

Cons:

Currently the teepads are incomplete but they will be concrete soon.

There are absolutely no signs at all, but I think that's probably a temporary condition as well. If you take advantage of the course map I uploaded, you won't have any trouble at all navigating this course.

Other Thoughts:

I think any previous negative reviews should be reconsidered. It isn't an overly challenging course, but it's certainly not boring either.

All in all this was a pretty decent little course. It's a great addition to a school for student recreation and something I think their student government association will eventually rightly be proud of.

If you're looking to add another course to your total, I'd recommend it without hesitation.
