fun course, bring a map! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 28, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

-nice mix of wooded and semi-open holes
-makes great use of the natural terrain
-mostly medium to shorter length holes but plenty of obstacles to work around. fun course for a beginner or intermediate level player.
-water comes into play on a couple of holes: pond on 3, creek on 9
-mostly nice concrete tees
-signs with hole number but no distances or map
-alternate pin locations
-baskets have two spokes painted toward next pad
-clean park

Cons:

-navigation is very tricky if you're unfamiliar with the course
-signs leave much to be desired, especially with the number of blind baskets
-construction currently has the course in a state of flux

Other Thoughts:

I thought this course was really fun to play and that it is rewarding for beginners, intermediate or advanced level players. The layout flows through the natural lanes between large patches of evergreens and thick rough. The holes range from mostly open to fairly tight but the majority of them are semi-open with numerous obstacles and well-defined fairways. Most of the fairways are pretty straight but many have the basket tucked to the right or the left at the end of a corridor.

The navigation is very difficult if you don't know the course well. The painted spokes on the baskets are a great help but it is still difficult to find your way around the course. Better signs would go a long way and an overview map at the beginning of the course would be excellent. Once you've found your way around, the layout flows pretty well despite some odd crossovers and direction changes. This seems to be a common feature of OKC courses: the layouts are unintuitive and confusing but make good use of the land and flow well once you know your way around the course.

I played here with two beginners and they had a great time as did I. The course is challenging enough to be rewarding but friendly and accessible enough to be enjoyed by all levels. It is great that there are multiple pin locations but it makes me wish even more that there were better signs with distances. The long pad on hole 3 is a cool touch.

Construction has things a little screwy. I took the advice others have left and parked on the south end and started on hole 3. That worked well.

a lot of trees/mud 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 1, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

There are concrete tees and two pin placements with in 30ft of each other on most holes. Plays both right and left about the same mostly a straight shot over or through tress.

Cons:

There are signs but with numbers only. I did not have the course map with me and had to walk ahead to find the basket. The course criss crosses itself a couple of times. On some of the holes you have to back track to get to the next tee, was not a problem today but if its busy watch out for incoming disc as the view is block by trees in some places. The area was very muddy, the fairways, tees and basket area were muddy. Off the fairways the grass is tall and there are a lot of trees, very easy to lose your disc. There was only 4 players out there and the parking lot near the course was packed becauseof the playground.

Other Thoughts:

With the three four star reviews I was really looking forward to playing this one. It is a nice course but nothing really different then other course I've played.
