Hole variety is a decent mix of RH and LH shots, with some tree & water hazards. Some elevated baskets. Low difficulty course is good for beginners; will be boring for advanced players.

Course is easily walkable with dogs. Not too many environmental annoyances like burrs or thorny plants. Smaller pets may have trouble with some ravines.

Pleasantly park-scenic. Much prettier than Dolese Park, which I found decidedly ugly.

Front 9 is spaghetti, with players backtracking at least 3 times. Likelihood to get nailed is high, especially on 5's teepad, which is hidden from 4's and downhill on a R-L slope.

Pathing on the Back 9 is better, however, 11 is an extremely boring, flat/open hole. 12 is little better, except for a Mando that at least adds a challenges. Generally, holes are fairly boring open lines all the way to the basket...

Crowd is generally oblivious to etiquette. Slow playing, throwing into you, walking through or throwing from your fairway without acknowledgment, throwing from OB...it was bad.

The water on course is nasty. The water under the bridge on 13 stunk to high heaven. Lots of trash and other unpleasantness made me want to sacrifice my lost disc to the course Gods.

Of Mitch Park, Dolese and OK Christian, I would put Will Rogers #2 in OKC courses.

This is a great beginners course. The distances on the holes aren't super long and
most of the holes are wide open. There are elevated tee pads and a few obstacles later on in the course. Many uphill and downhill shots. Water really only comes into play behind and to the right of #13's basket. Here are my observations as of my visit:
#1 Has an elevated tee pad to start the round off, and there is a drainage ditch on the left.
#2 has a couple of trees at the bucket to contend with but nothing too overwhelming.
#3-9, with the exception of #4, work their way back and forth across a draw and vary in length. #4 is on top of the hill and works its way from north to south along the road.
#8 is the longest hole of the front 9, and allows you a chance to get in a good rip.
#10 was a nice hole playing downhill around some trees, very short hole.
#11-#12 are straight away shots.
#13 is a good little hole playing downhill.
#14 plays uphill, just be sure not to kill your drive and put it in the picnic area.
#15 has some trees off the box, nothing too intimidating.
#16 pretty much a straight shot
#17 Cedars to the left of the box, and pool to the right. Make it past the cedars and you'll be fine.
#18 finishes up with the second longest hole of the course and has a drainage ditch to the left. On a windy day this could be a factor.

There are no tee signs here, this takes this course down a bit. Also there is virtually no shade here, in the hot summer months this can be brutal. #3's tee pad is super short so be aware. On a windy day, which happens too often in Oklahoma, this course would play a lot tougher. The baskets aren't the greatest either and could use some repairing, and a number on them would also be nice.
I was not a fan of backtracking between the basket on #11 and the tee pad for #12, but it is what it is.

I would have loved to play this course when the trees were still in place. I feel it would have spiced things up a bit, especially on the front 9. If you are just getting into disc golf this would be a great course to learn on. Intermediate players will also like this one as well, because they will score well. Advanced players will leave feeling underwhelmed. As has been stated in other reviews this would make a good warm up course before playing another OKC course. I would suggest warming up here then heading to Dolese Youth Park a few miles up the road. With some improvements this course could be a lot better, still it is a decent course for what it is.

Good variety of shots in and out of the Oklahoma wind for the beginning player. Water is in play on about 5 holes (not counting the little creeks) and provides a little bit of a challenge, but wet discs are retrievable for the most part. Easy to navigate with plenty of birdie opportunities. Only a handful of holes that really allow you to air it out. LOTS of elevation changes and out-of-bounds roads to keep you honest. Not heavily wooded but still plenty of trees in play.

Busy. In a busy park and appears to be a fairly popular course. Large groups like to play the holes near the parking lot and hold up play of those playing through.

Plays pretty fast and not necessarily in the best part of town.

Has had a bunch of trees removed due to parasite infection. As a result, this course has been simplified to a large amount. Almost half of the holes were affected and those that had a fairly unique assortment of available lines are now almost entirely wide open. My original rating for this course was a 3, but it's now a 2.5 tops.

Like others have said, not a bad course per say, just not a great one either. Lots of variety, but the course is more beginner level and serves as a good warm up for anybody who knows what they are doing.

UPDATE: Plays even quicker than before, but still almost always crowded. Still a good beginner course or a excellent warm-up or short disc course.

Played very fast (not crowded when I was there). It was challenging, but not overwhelming to me. Concrete tee boxes

Course needs a lot of maintenance. Signs are missing, damaged, or illegible. A couple of baskets are missing. Could be made more interesting by utilizing the drainage ditch running through the park, but some bridges would need to be built to make that more feasible.

The directions on the front page are bad. They'll get you there, but it's difficult to make any sense of them, especially using the mobile version. I ended up starting on 14 because I was in a hurry to catch a flight and didn't have time to drive in circles looking for the hole 1.

From I-44 and NW 36th, take N Grand Blvd south to the second park entrance. Parking will be on the right.

-good use of the land, elevation comes into play as several holes weave back and forth across and along a ravine
-concrete tees and relatively newer baskets
-navigation is pretty straightforward even without any real signage (it's missing or vandalized). it will usually be busy enough that you can just follow the group ahead of you. the one tricky spot is after hole 4, turn left and go to the bottom of the hill to get to hole 5's tee, it shoots back in the direction of hole 3's tee
-short holes make for a birdie fest and several ace opportunities, rec players will love it and advanced players will be disappointed if they don't have a putt on pretty much every hole
-even though it's short, there are lots of obstacles and managing the elevation and slanted greens (1, 4, 6-9, 13-15) or elevated baskets (1, 6, 15), especially in the omnipresent OK wind, adds to the difficulty for less experienced/skilled players
-weekly minis

-most signs missing or vandalized, the concrete tees and the group ahead of you are your navigational aids
-there is a creek that comes into play on holes 13, 15-18. some parts aren't too bad for disc retrieval but some are pretty rough. it will be a serious threat for beginners in the wind, especially on holes 15 & 17
-most of the front 9 is packed into a pretty small area. beginners + the OK wind = discs in other fairways. keep your wits about you
-if you're looking for a place to fire up the big guns, this isn't it. for the experienced player, there are 3 or 4 holes that you'll throw a driver off the tee. and the distances listed here seem off, hole 8 is definitely not over 300'.
-a lot of beginners or chuckers play here who don't know or care much about etiquette
-not a lot of shade, bring water

Will Rogers Park has a historic disc golf course, a Steady Ed design from 1979. I don't know how closely the current layout follows that original one as the course has changed quite a bit even since I first played it 12 years ago. It does have a more old school vibe: fun, short, a little cramped, multiple ace runs. The mild to slightly moderate elevation changes in play add to the fun and it's still a good course for beginners, casual players, and intermediate level players looking to feel good about their score.

Dealing with the elevation in the Oklahoma wind is the primary challenge on most of the course. Less experienced players will also need to watch out for the creek that comes into play on the last handful of holes. Most holes have an obvious line with one or two main obstacles to beat but you have options most of the time to go straight at the basket or wider hyzer, BH or FH.

Will Rogers is probably the busiest course in OKC. It's way more forgiving than Dolese and easier to navigate. I could see Eldon Lyon eventually pulling away some of the rec crowd but Will Rogers has more fun ace runs and easier birdie opportunities.

For the casual player, this is the course to play in OKC. For the older or historically interested player, this is also a must stop. For the advanced player looking to be challenged, head to Dolese or the courses down in Moore.
