Fun Course for Experts and Beginners alike 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 16, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

I play this course on a pretty regular basis. It is a nice course if you are looking for a good mix of longer holes and shorter technical holes. The course is divided into a front and back 9. The Front is to the south, the back is to the north. All the holes have signs with location of pin and distance marked. The tee pads are in good shape and the grass on the course is well maintained. Also, the course runs alongside the Arkansas river so there usually is a nice breeze to help with the hot Oklahoma summers. My favorite part about this course is it really makes me enlist a number of different types of throws. Favorite hole is 7 because it gives you a great chance to let it rip with the right side being wide open. FYI, there is a warm-up tee at the start of this one so that is no longer a problem.

Cons:

The course does run right next to a Riverside Dr. which is a relatively busy street. Inexperienced disc golfers and even pros sometimes might land there discs on holes 2, 3 and 4 in the street (mostly just seems to happen on hole 3 although they moved the basket this summer to help with that). The other con is that there are two trails that run through the course so pedestrians and cyclist are around. I find this enjoyable as it's nice to see everyone out and gives exposure to the sport, but less experienced throwers may get nervous on a limited number of shots.

Other Thoughts:

I cut my teeth playing on a course that is over 6000 feet long in total, so this one seemed a bit short to me at first. I quickly grew to love it, though because it is so well maintained and there's plenty of opportunity to test out your technical skills thanks to the trees and obstructions skillfully used by the course planners.
