Our trip to Battle Creek was a good one, but not great. First off, let me say the staff at Battle Creek from check-in, to the grill, and the starter, everyone was absolutely fantastic and super kind. Can’t say enough about the staff.

As for the course, positives: the greens are very good, and they have maintenance actively taking care of little spots that need some attention but nothing major. However, the fairways are not good. A lot of muddy spots as well as areas of just dirt and not very well taken care of grass. Don’t know if storms or winter or some thing has messed with it and made it pretty poor but not good. Does it make it unplayable? No, but certainly not great.

Other than that it was really nice. The food/drink is spectacularly cheap in price as well from the grill so take advantage of that if you can.

Also NOTE: if you play on a windy day, just forget about a good score. Several holes on the back if going into the wind are near impossible to even get to the green in regulation. I am 23, and can hit a drive about to 280-290 and struggled majorly against the wind on several holes.

In short: great staff, decent facilities, fairways need work.

If you’re an OU student, or someone just looking to get out and do something other than the driving range, the Links is great.

The course is not great, tons of mud and dirt, in fact, maybe more than decent grass. Also, the layout does not have good irrigation. Numerous times greens and fairways are completely flooded after rains. Therefore, the greens are not great either although they rolled decently well when we played.

Also, when we arrived for our 9:15 tee time at 9:00 and checked in at 9:10 the lady behind the counter was kind, but there was man in the lobby (either manager of a the course of resident), but he out of nowhere ridiculed my group saying “y’all should already be teeing off, and speeding up pace of play.” Here’s the thing, it was 5 minutes before our even scheduled time to start AND We had 3 people not a full 4some, all of which were former high school players, so before we had even hit a shot we had a bad taste in our mouth from the course staff for seemingly no reason. Just to finalize the point, we of course did not hold on anyone up and in fact got stuck behind a group for 6 holes of play.

We’ve played this course numerous times and probably will continue to do so because it’s cheap and close to Norman, however if you’re looking for a good golf outing, find a time for Winter Creek or somewhere in OKC.

Beautiful course! Except for some left over animal droppings on one tee box, everything was awesome. Only $30 too which was great. Fantastic time!!

Course was great, even after a big rain. Aside from 3 low spots everything else was perfectly playable. Always love this course.
