First Timer Here 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 7, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Kenny Morton
The Bus
The People
The Disc Golf Family Atmosphere
The Baskets

Cons:

A lot of people may suggest it isn't very long but that's not everything that makes this game fun

Other Thoughts:

Kenny is fantastic and I am glad I was able to meet him and play his course.
I need to say the holes aren't long but it will definitely help your 200' in range. But that's not a downside, I was more into the stories and history of the course and the people you get to meet while playing there.
I'll be back.

My 200th course and I left with a smile on my face 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 3, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course has a bit of everything from short holes, technical holes, up hill shots, down hill shots, and everything else in between. There are many hanging baskets and elevation changes as well.
There are benches at most holes as well as trash sacks. This place is also equipped for night golf, which would be very fun here.
There is an old school bus where you start the course and you get to sign your name on the inside of it, and how many times in your life to you get to say that you wrote your name on the roof of a school bus?
The flow is very logical and there are directional arrows painted here and there to help you find your way. The re-tire basket catch very well. There were a few tunnel shots as well as a couple of holes that were more open.
Great place to work on your mid range or putter game. Hole 16 was something you don't see everyday as there was 1 regular sized basket and 2 mini baskets(see pics) all hanging in a row.
The back nine is so much fun with a cool down hill hole #20, a hole that you throw right to left over a stream #26 and a hole where you throw almost straight up in the air #27.
The back nine is longer than the first 18 holes and to me this helps balance this course out.

Cons:

These cons are pretty nit picky, there are no amenities here.
The hard pack dirt around the tees and the fairways might be a touch slick after a good hard rain. The back nine could use some tee markers.

Other Thoughts:

I was glad that I got the opportunity to play at this course and to make it that much more memorable for me it was my 200th course played. I couldn't have asked for a more unique experience. They do ask for a donation and after you play here you will see that it is money well spent. This isn't a big arm throwers course, and your drivers will most likely stay in the bag. This is a course that is going to challenge your shot shaping abilities with a mid or a putter. What other course has a tee pee that has been turned into a chicken house? You have to give it bonus points in the uniqueness department just for that alone.
I didn't think that such a short course would live up to the lofty rating of the previous reviews but man was I wrong. This course is one of those places where you will throughly enjoy your round and it gives you a very unique disc golf experience.
This is a must play for anyone that wants to play a course that will provide you with a challenging and unique round. If I lived within a two hours drive I would be frequenting this course as much as I could. You owe it to yourself to take the time and make the trip out to Re-Tire. You will be glad you did.

Adventure in the Woods 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 22, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great baskets (unique)
Well kept
Great mix of shots
Great risk/reward
Awesome use of elevation (especially on 20)
Tee signs on first 18
Great use of the land he has
Awesome place to work on your midrange game
You must work on accuracy
Quick 27 holes
Private course equals no crowds
Last 9 were a little longer to add to the placement challenge
A few holes to get some distance work on
Great owner
Great for beginners to advanced
Many lines to chose from
Some multiple pads/pins
Plenty of shade if its hot
Plenty of trees to block the Oklahoma wind
Good footing on the tees
Aweome for night golf
Lights on every basket
Kenny sells a decent selection of Gateway Discs

Favorite Hole(s): #17, #20, #26, #27

Cons:

Natural tees
Could get messy after a rain
Last 9 need tee signs
Directionals are lacking (not a big deal you should have a guide)
Could use some more distance

Other Thoughts:

I absolutely loved this course. You will too. The tire baskets are very durable and catch very well
Kenny is a great host to you and your friends.
The fun factor is strong with this one. It will challenge everyone. If beginners don't try to hard they should be at least close to par. But if an advanced player shoots for the basket everytime he will take a few bogeys. Love the risk/reward on most holes. Call ahead and set it up with Kenny and have the time of your life. I will be back anytime I am in the area and have time. Its a blast.

If its your thing check with Kenny about his party bus.

Neat little course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 19, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course is an excellent place to hone your putt and approach skills. All the baskets are in good shape and I like the way that they hang from the trees (it adds a little flavor). All baskets have lights on top for night golf.

No crowds!

The course is very short allowing for quick rounds. Aces are possible on every hole even though I failed to get one myself.

The owner is very friendly and loves to let people enjoy his course.


UPDATE : Kenny has added 9 more holes since my last visit. The added variety moves this course to an easy 4 discs. Next time, if I can manage to play all 27, I believe I may upgrade it to 4.5.

Cons:

As a putt and approach practice course, this one would be a 4.5 with almost no cons. However, every hole being less than 250 feet becomes slightly redundant.

The pads could be a little more little more even. A couple of them were a little tricky.

The chicken house stinks! LOL!

Other Thoughts:

I will definitely play this course again when I can. It is a very fun course. That said, it does feel slightly odd to tee off in someone's yard and play around their stuff. Probably would be really awkward if the owner wasn't so nice.

Make sure you contact the owner before traveling to play.

He sells discs and lights and they play a lot of night golf here. Come join the fun!

Great Short Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 14, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Very good course for putting and finesse shots, you don't even need a midrange because most of the holes are under 150' or so. The re-tire baskets are also very versatile and cool - first of their kind!

Cons:

Since this is a private course, some of the baskets are a little close to other things, which makes shooting at the wrong basket a possibility. Some of the baskets are prototypes with a single layer of chains also, the new baskets are MUCH better and really do a good job of catching your putter!

Other Thoughts:

Looking forward to seeing how well re-tire does, I will probably order one pretty soon for my backyard.
