What do we expect for late July?

This is not the closest or most convenient course for me. So I've only played it a couple of times this year. Ordinarily, even at the best courses, at this time of year we experience hard and dry fairways. But this trip they were green like late spring. Tee boxes were fantastic. Roughs were mowed properly too. Greens were soft and fast; although there were more canker spots than ideal. It was a really hot day but we got out semi early Just in time to finish before the real heat set in. Pretty much had the course to ourselves.

find another course or wait for better conditions

Highly recommended by family that played here last year. But the same member was astonished at the difference. They are not watering the fairways. It has been very dry. Except for the excellent weather, the course was like early January. Greens were the worst I've seen in years.Hard & fast. But the surface was so poor one had to be really aggressive to the cup. Not going to get a true roll unless you hit the ball too hard. Like playing with a Mexican jumping bean ball! Fairways and rough were mowed very short. So forget about taking a divot with your swing. More likely you'll injure your wrist. Same for around the "green" chip shots. Bad for a pincher. Impossible for anything else.

Cow pasture?

I've played here many times over the last 20 years. This is the worst I've seen it. We've had good rains through August. The fairways are really green around the sprinkler heads. But looking at the fairways you think and see "drought". The ponds are mostly full. I didn't get an explanation, So I don't know if something is broken or what. But several trees were shedding leaves like it was November. The greens were pretty decent, soft and slow. Pray for rain, or at least water the fairways; that's my suggestion to management.

greens are much better.

After a lengthy regrowth period following aeration, the greens are much improved and in great shape. The late summer into fall growth of the native grasses is very tall. Meaning "you better hit the fairways". I've played 5-6 times in the last 2 months. My biggest complaint is the worn out cups and pins. The pins and flags won't even stand straight up. They lean 20 -40 degrees. No big deal right. Except, windy conditions mean the pin will rub on the edge of the hole. Some of them will get deformed from the movement of the pin. This is a very small issue. The course is as good as I've ever seen it.

Great shape!

I have played this course many times. It has never been a disappointment. But this year, with all of the rain we have had, it is in even better condition. Especially for mid August. The drive is still 45 minutes and the value is superb.

Close by, great weather no & putting (just kidding).

With a respite from typical Oklahoma August heat predicted I sprung for a rare midweek opportunity for an afternoon of golfing. I Didn't want to go far due to time restraints. So I played again this course that I had played for the first time just a few weeks earlier. Because of the restrictions I made my tee time despite the aeration advisory. After all I really wanted to work on driving and chipping. Good thing because they had just aerated and there had been zero recovery at that point. Maintenance of courses being a priority I didn't hold that against the course since as I said, I saw the advisory. Otherwise, the course was in great shape for August. Significant rain had fallen earlier in the week. So some bunkers had standing water in them. there were a few muddy spots around sprinkler heads. But all in all the course was in excellent shape. while not all of the holes are difficult, some are downright nasty. Particularly #4. This is a par 5 with multiple creek crossings. Ordinarily, one only needs to keep the ball in the middle of the fairway, that won't work on this hole. you certainly have to hit it straight, but you also have to control your distance. or you will roll into one of the crossings. I played alone, so no competitive issues. just a really enjoyable 3 hour round.

Hopefully, better soon. (slow, aerated greens).

I've played this course many times. It's very enjoyable and well designed. It's only early spring and the fairways, while greening up nicely have a ways to go yet. On top of that, the greens were recently aerated. So putting was challenging at best. These are things dealt with at every course. Most of the staff is very friendly. But do yourself a favor and follow the cart rules. There is at least one and possibly more overzealous marshals or grounds staff spying on you who have no issues about creating an uncomfortable situation by making accusations about cart path etiquette. On one particular hole, each party in our foursome was scolded and lectured about a violation when in fact there had been none. This has happened on 2 of the last 3 visits. I'll still play the course occasionally, but I'm tired of being treated like a juvenile delinquent. I'm a senior and not only knowledgeable, but obediant of the rules.

Very different and challenging layout

Land values being what they are it's hard to imagine a better repurpose of land depleted of it's natural resources and topography. The elevation changes are very pronounced. There are more berms (and bigger) alongside the fairways than any course I've played recently. Water is a factor on plenty of holes; most crossings are wide ponds and not a meandering creek. The gas powered carts were the right cart for the steep inclines. At times it felt a little like fourwheeling. I wouldn't ever walk this course. Not that I walk many anyway. But if you're in to walking, skip this course. I especially liked the par 3 holes. Usually these holes are simply 140 ish straight mowed fairways. But here with the threes being mostly in the transition zone, the tees are elevated and most have no fairway at all. 160 yards to the green over either all water or un-mowed tall native grasses. If you don't get the ball up and near the green you've lost another ball. Many fours play like this as well. The wind was also a factor. But in Texas the wind is like the sun. My favorite hole (maybe) was #10. It features an elevated tee crossing over a wide expanse of water. 2nd and 3rd shots follow the shore of the course's largest pond. Probably for most it will be better to lay up on your third.

Worth the drive!

After being a little disappointed in the offerings on Golfnow.com I found this course. It gets really good reviews and is about a 45 minute drive from OKC. So I/ we gave it a shot. We were not disappointed. The drive is... well, 45 minutes. that's the long and the short of it. but the roads are highways with good speed limits and little traffic (usually). But the course, that's entirely the other end of the spectrum. The layout is pretty challenging. It's pretty long from the blue and gold tees. These tees usually feature a narrowing of trees before opening up from the whites and reds, adding a lot of challenge in addition to the longer distance but leaving much easier drives for lesser experienced golfers. There is not a lot of water on the course. You mostly play alongside the lakes and ponds and only must hit over water on a couple of par 3's (#2 & #10). It makes up for that with well placed bunkers and distance, with trees coming into play as well as tall native grasses in a few places. Even for early fall, the fairways are in great shape with little hardpan. This is probably due to very sandy soils around the area. The greens were really fast despite hand-watering and in really good condition. This made for a great & true putting experience. If I had to be nit-picky and find something negative about the course beyond the 45 minute drive it would be the high school football stadium next to it. I have played this course several times since my first tee. On one Saturday the music and announcer's messages from little league games being played there from #1 tee to #18 cup were incessant and loud. They could be heard all over the course. Of course if that is bothersome it would only be on certain days and times of the year. We didn't let it bother us except to laugh at some "idiot" on the tee ahead of us while he kneeled in protest during the National Anthem!
