Hard but rewarding 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 2, 2020 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Well laid out course, a good mix of open long holes and short challenging holes through the woods. Lots of benches and trash cans to use and everything is well maintained.

Cons:

Quite hard - do not come here as a beginner. I feel I have to really concentrate to play here and that I don't get better as a player because I'm too worried about losing a disc in the woods.

Other Thoughts:

This is likely the best course in the OKC Metro. Come with friends, the more the merrier when it comes to finding discs lol.

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 23, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Great baskets in great location.

Tee pads are in good shape.

Course has a great setup. You can park right by #1 and it loops all the way back around basically finishing you right next to were you parked.

The foliage at the course is completely fine. Moving to OKC from Ohio made me realize how tough some of the trees can make it on the Ohio course. I really like the dry brush of the OK courses. Much easier to find discs.

Lots of man-made benches and places to sit and relax at this course.

Hole variety is probably my favorite thing about TFC. Each hole is unique where it can test length, accuracy, mid-range, and putts.

I really just started playing disc golf when I played this course. At that time I found it to be really challenging, now that I have gotten a lot better would love to go back to OKC and try it again.

Cons:

Not many elevation changes at this course. Like I said earlier being from Ohio I actually enjoy the flatness of some of the OK courses, some of the Ohio courses have crazy elevations especially in the Cincy area where it can get extremely hilly.

Other Thoughts:

This course can get extremely crowded especially with kids as its right by the YMCA.

Most the Disc Golfers park n the back right next to the course. Parking is very limited.

Dont shank it on 18 because your drive might hit a car.

Tough but fun course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 10, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- Good mix of open shots and technical shots through the woods.
- Will use many different discs in your bag.
- Baskets are in good shape.
- Course utilizes short and long pin locations.

Cons:

- A few holes are laid out for a RHBH hyzer over the street...be careful you don't hit any cars.
- Shot selection is key - be sure you've exhausted all your options before deciding to throw a sky hyzer over all the trees/brush. You may regret it after you hear the sound of your disc crashing into the thicket never to be seen again.
- Watch out for thorns.

Other Thoughts:

- After playing in a weekend tournament here, I grew to really enjoy the course. It's tough but it forces you to assess and reassess each shot. Playing here will definitely make you a better player.

Could be great 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 29, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

No shot felt the same and there was a good mix of holes that went right and left.
Holes like 9? Demanded a perfect drive or you will take a bogey and forced me to put my "beefy driver" away and throw a disc I knew I could control.
Benches galore! (Possibly every hole?)
I was glad to not see the pond in play .
The tees were very grippy.
Plenty of holes that required distance and accuracy.

Cons:

Hole #2 is the hardest line choice I've ever seen in the 20+ courses I've played. (The fairway is a cluster of trees maybe 2 feet apart?)
Not having a map or signs got frustrating without having anybody who'd played in the group as I usually ran around looking for the basket and then running back to the tee.
If there is no pictured sign I enjoy seeing distance listed and it was not.
The layout was a bit confusing and a painted bar on the basket for one last reminder pointing to the next tee would've helped (there were signs on the fairway but I can't remember by the time I finish a hole) I felt like there was a lack of birdie able holes which can make less experienced players throw their arms up and want to quit.

Other Thoughts:

A lot of previous reviews said this was a short course and apparently that was changed before I played. I would say most of the holes were 300-500ft in distance and half of those are blind shots.

Hidden Gem 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 29, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

The holes were very well laid out, most had signs pointing in the direction of the next tee box. A good mix of short and long holes, left and right as well.

Cons:

More signs declaring hole length, more signs declaring where the next tee box is, would be helpful. Couldn't find hole one due to the construction but did find hole 2 and teed off from grass near the constuction site. After playing thru 18 and then finding hole 1, realized you come out of the woods behind the basket for hole 2, could be dangerous.

Other Thoughts:

More signage by the parking lot to direct everyone to the course, if I didn't have the map I probably would have never found it. If in Edmond I would definately play this one again.

Rough 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 5, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Technical
-Good baskets
-Requires you to throw several different shots
-Decent upkeep

Cons:

-On-going Construction will hamper the drive in as well as some of the holes (3, 10)
-The rough is very rough
-Tee signs are not in the best shape
-course has a jogging and bike track which is a blind area on one of the holes if you have any grip lock so be careful you might hit someone.
-The Locals

Other Thoughts:

I recently played this course with a group of five. Although we are not the most experienced group we are not beginners. It took us three hours to play through this course. we had to stop and look for discs numerous times even though they were not thrown very far into the rough. Lost a disc on hole 8 (Neon Yellow Star Orc if you find it please return it). By far what made this course a three star is the locals. They do not understand the rules of the game (got thrown on six of the holes by different people), and they have no consideration for anyone but themselves. I recommend this course but play early in the mornings before high schoolers are up or the mid life crises guys are off work. Again very technical course, forces you to expand your shots, and requires you to watch your disc!

I enjoyed it! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 3, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course was pretty nice. It was secluded from the rest of the park and off by itself which is nice, cause you wont have random people walking through. The signs were ok, and the tee-pads were decent.

Cons:

Lots of wooded holes. Not really that bad, but could be better if it had a few more open holes to play. I enjoyed it though. Need garbage cans!

A nice challenge 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 3, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Highly technical course requiring a variety of shots. In my opinion, this is the most technical course in the OKC Metro area.

Well kept, year round. Multiple pin placements updated at least once a month make for a nice variety of holes even for the regulars. The course almost always has people playing, but is rarely ever crowded. Great course to improve your accuracy and line-shaping.

Cons:

Very densely wooded. During the spring/summer months, it is very easy to lose discs from an errant shot. The technical nature of the holes can make this course less than pleasant for new players. The course is a little on the short side, overall. While some holes break the 400 mark, most of those rarely allow for a full drive and instead require a shorter layup. I really wish there were a few holes than you could really open up on. Ticks in the summer months can be a problems as well. Course layout is difficult to grasp if you've never played before.

Other Thoughts:

This is a good course if you're in the OKC metro area. More challenging than Will Rogers or Dolese, the nearest competitor courses. I wouldn't agree with the previous reviewer that this course is boring at all. Instead, I would simply call it very technical outside of a few holes that back off the difficulty a little bit. If you can't throw accurately, a lot of these holes will give you trouble.

Slightly out of the way, but good... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 15, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a beautiful, heavily wooded park with huge, mature cedars that will swallow your discs and Oklahoma red dirt that will stain your shoes. Concrete tee pads, 2 pin placements per hole with a posted alternating schedule (very cool - 6 or 8 variations), signs are decent (but it would help if they had distance and direction), active local club presence with tournaments on Mondays and Thursdays, some decent elevation challenges, a few holes that could be considered "signature," well-manicured grounds, and great baskets. The course tests a lot of different shots in your bag and is challenging with thick rough. With some work, this course has the makings of a true premier course.

Cons:

To start, this course is a bit too far out of the way for me, to no fault of its own. Although there are many pros, this course also lacks fluidity. There are many design flaws in my opinion. First of all, the course doesn't flow easily from one hole to the next. You will walk about a mile on the actual fairways, and probably 1.5 times that getting from hole to hole. Having to backtrack down a fairway to get to the next hole is a big, dangerous no-no for me as evident between holes 10 and 11. Seriously, what's the deal? There is so much open space out here!

Next, for me this course is just poorly laid out. There could have easily been twice as many holes in the space available, but some holes seem to venture off in erratic directions from the previous hole. There are several holes less than 200 feet, one is actually 145 feet. For me, especially in this beautiful, massive park, this is a crying shame. Maybe this is just my preference, but I like for a DGC to average between 330-375 feet per hole, with at least the occasional bomber that tops 450 or even 500. This one averages less than 300 (about 290, even less depending on pin position) feet per hole with the longest hole in the longest pin placement being 420 feet in a park that could easily AVERAGE 450. Many of the holes could be extended, and many more could be redesigned to either correct the flow or add more of them.

Lastly on cons, for such a big park, some of the fairways are narrow with only one line to the basket. I would like to see some alternate lines on a few holes. I would also like a bit more variety between some of the alternate pin positions, as most are within 30 feet of each other.

Other Thoughts:

I enjoyed my round, and I will come back here to play. This truly is a NICE course. This is July, so it is hot, but I didn't encounter any ticks. I did get mosquitoes and chiggers though. Bring plenty of drinks because of the distance between holes. PRINT THE ONLINE MAP, ESPECIALLY IF A FIRST-TIMER! You will be very glad that you did. It is not always obvious which way to go to the next hole. It also helps with pin placements for the alternating schedule. Please don't think that I was overly-critical. It is just that this is a very good course, where it could be a GREAT course.

Best overall course in OKC metro 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 30, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course has the best atmosphere of all the parks in the OKC metro. No other course is kept in as good of shape. It is always picked up. Kudos to the local club and course stewards.

This course will challenge every shot in your bag. Holes 14, 17, & 18 are for lefties or solid anhyzer shots. There are some solid ace runs and the baskets are moved on a regular basis.

Cons:

There is a tick problem.

Other Thoughts:

I live in Norman and drive to this course to play as much as I can because of the condition it is kept in. If coming to play in OKC this course is a must play.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 1, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Good tee pads, two pin placements for each hole that are changed monthly. Good mixture of hyzer/anhyzer shots as well as long/short holes. Well maintained, part of a large park but away from areas with non DG traffic.

Cons:

Tee signs are only a number, nothing to indicate length or pin locations. Ticks are present if you get in the woods and you probably will at some point. Lots of red clay that doesn't dry out quickly. Can get busy on weekends

Other Thoughts:

Seems more technical than it really is because just about every hole has cedar trees that are very unforgiving.. Avoid them, they add strokes to almost every round I've played here and this is my home course. Landing off the fairway can cost a stroke just to get back into position so it's better to be accurate than long on all but 2-3 holes.

Variety 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 10, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great variety of shots. Really tests the different discs in your bag. One hole will be a short turnover, and another is a 400 foot bomb over cedars (17 on long). Only a couple shots that really exercises your arm on distance, most of the course is pretty technical. This is both the course that I learned on, and the one I go back to if I want a good test of skill. North of the city, and a little bit out of the way keeps the scenery pretty nice. Most of the course brings trees in to play, keeping things interesting. Two pin placements per hole, changed regularly. Tee pads are concrete, and long.

Cons:

Gets really muddy after a rain, with Oklahoma red dirt. Easy to lose a disc on a bad shot during the summer and fall. City keeps the fairways kept short, but OB is always really hairy. Watch for ticks, and mosquitos can be really bad in the wrong season.

Other Thoughts:

A couple of holes are harder to find, but you can find the trail. Course usually isn't too busy, not much of a wait time here. Plan for a longer game play, even solo, you will look for a disc.

Edmond 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 5, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

I wont give it four because there are some negatives. Good pads and good baskets are a good sign. There are 2 placements for the baskets which changes the course up from time to time. There are alot of different types holes that require different shots but there arent many options on those holes, things are pretty straight forward(you only have one route to the hole.) Easy to lose a disc in the rough but fairways arent really tight enough to be a big factor for advanced player. Fun course but not for the family. No water to lose plastic so just keep an eye on your stuff and you should be good. Very well taken care of for a park of this size.

Cons:

The tee signs suck because they are just numbers so the first time out its confusing and hard to navigate. The course does cross itself a couple of times but its all good after playing. Trees are very sticky so you might be climbing to get plastic back. Very hot so bring lots of drinks.

Other Thoughts:

Watch out for the ticks in the summer!!!
