Pros:

Excellent tee signs.
Ample tee pads and adequate baskets.
Good use of the present elevation and what trees were on the course were utilized as best as could be.
Flow is logical and some of the holes have ACE RUN potential.
Disc loss should be low here and a couple of the baskets are up on hills.
There is a good mix of short, moderate, and long holes here too.
This would be a good course to practice your long range driving skills or improve your wind game.

Cons:

Wind will definitely factor into your game here as there aren't many trees to block the OK wind. With that said there isn't a whole lot of shade either so in the summer months prepare accordingly.
They cleared out the trees that were on Hole 14 that (according to the pictures on here) made for a great hole. Now its just wide open, this was disappointing.
The back 9 got repetitive after a couple of holes with there not being any variety other than the distance.
Some of the benches are in need of repair and a couple of the baskets look like they have been hit by the mowers a time or two.
Back tracking from 1's basket to 2's tee and the long walk from 16's basket to 17's tee slowed the flow of the game down a bit.

Other Thoughts:

The front 9 nine was a decent play and a few holes had a couple of trees sprinkled here or there. The back nine was very much wide open and got redundant. The planting of some trees on the back 9 would help spice things up tremendously, especially on the moderate length holes. That way they could still keep the longer holes like 10 and 16 for those players that like long holes and provide lines to be shaped for players that like that aspect.
You will want to pick up your birdies on the front 9 while you can to help balance out the longer holes on the back 9.
If you are wanting a technical course then you will have to keep on driving. If you like a wide open course that will test your wind game then this is your kind of course. This isn't a bad course but its not a destination course either. Its one of those courses that just needs more variety to make for more interesting discing.
If you are passing through the area and feel the need to get out and throw then by all means hit this course up.

windsock 2+ years drive by

Pros:

Flightline has nice labeled cement tee pads on every hole. Incredible signs that look like the tombstones of an un-modest person. Each sign has a local sponsor and hole diagrams complete with distances on them. The course has small rolling hills that play tricky wind paths and pin positions. I imagine that the wind here is a constant factor since it is in a big open field and if you are into the wind challenge, this course should be on your list.

I would recommend this course for all skill levels and I would guess that people with long arms will enjoy it more. This course has the look and feel of a tournament ready course. The course flows in two loops back to the parking lot for both the front and back nine, which I am a fan of because you can go out there and decide to play nine and be right at your car.

Cons:

It is a in a wide open space, little can be done about that but some might consider it boring. It could use a bench or two preferably in the shade. They should plant more stuff, heck you could park a few junkyard cars out there and get some obstacles other than the wind and elevated pin placements. Well, maybe I'm the only one that thinks that would be cool. At least a extra bush or two would make things a little better.

Other Thoughts:

If the sun beating down hard I would think a person would be hardcore out there soaking in the sun. I'd bring sun screen because you are not going to get much shade. I drank a ton of water after playing this course on a windy day. I was pleasantly surprised by this course. It was a good pit stop on my way to OKC. It was neat seeing small planes take off and land. There was a big orange windsock that dominates the course from on top of the hill you start at, I felt that its presence described the situation perfectly.

I lost my respect... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 16, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

The best looking signs I have ever seen, by far. Cool location (right of the tarmac of the airport). Can be a little weird, b/c literally no one is around. Front 9 is a nice course. Beginner friendly, lots of throwing options.

Cons:

The added back 9 is a ridiculous "throw it as hard as you can over and over with no challenges to set you back." No slope, no obstacles, nothing.

Other Thoughts:

I used to like this course when it was a little 9 hole off the tarmac, but then they added a ridiculous back 9.
