Temporary Greens

Didn't know until I arrived that the course is playing temporary greens. Most holes are playing like a par 3 with temporary greens in fairway with 8" cups. It was silly golf. Could not putt at all. I really like this course and will go back but only once the greens are reopened.

Greens are horrible

Tee to green, nice course. The greens are HORRIBLE right now, which they have already taken some proactive steps to repair and have them scheduled, which is great. I wish the course close to my house would do this. However, Canyons has SO much potential and it was GREAT a couoke years ago. We've had some bad weeks of winter, which is why the greens are in bad shape. Overall, good course, just the greens sucks for right now. They will get it all together soon. Picture is of #3, one of the better greens.

Horrible greens

Greens are practically non-existent. Mud, dirt, sand with very little grass. Tee boxes were also in very poor condition. I'm not sure if recent weather conditions are the cause of these issues or poor maintenance, but sad conditions. Such a shame for what could be a great course. Probably should have opted for another course as this one was definitely not worth the money.

Terrible Shape!!! Do not waste your $$$ or your time!

We were optimistic about enjoying a Sunday morning round of golf! But that quickly faded. Every green is just dirt. Every tee box is dead grass. But the final straw was when someone hit our cart and yelled fore after the ball hit us! Luckily we weren’t hurt. This was this guy’s 3rd drive, he should have been kicked off the course!

The final final straw was the sound of a machine gun in the near distance!!! I am not kidding!!!! It should be Hillbilly Hill instead of Goat Hill. Totally unacceptable. We didn’t bother to finish the round.

Wow. This is one of the saddest golf courses I've ever seen.

I'll keep it short because I genuinely feel bad at how much negativity I feel toward this course.

This was without a doubt the worst day of golf I've ever had and it was entirely because of the course. I'll just say that in spite of my group having already paid for 18, we quit after 9 holes.

EVERY green is destroyed and will likely never be salvaged. The fairways, or lack-thereof, are plain dirt, rocks, and burnt "grass". Tee boxes are overgrown. And the pace was disgustingly slow due to tightly packed tee times and no marshal.

Everything about this course says "I don't give a ****".

Take your money elsewhere. The saddest part is that the layout is truly unique and the course itself has a lot of potential

How the mighty have fallen

I haven't played this course in quite a while but decided to play it with some friends while I was in town. We were all excited to play it as we love the layout. The views and unique layout for Oklahoma is something we looked forward too. Unfortunately, the course has been neglected. There was barely any grass on the greens, bare dirt on tee boxes and fairways, and it was obvious some tee boxes hadn't been cleaned up in months (broken tees and unrepaired divots). I was pretty disappointed and didn't feel like it was worth the green fees. Looks like they spent on their money on the new clubhouse, which looks nice, but I don't go to a golf course to spend time in the clubhouse. I go to play golf and this place barely passed for a golf course.

Wow, what a shame this course has turned into. If I was the manager and/or owner of this course I would be downright embarrassed. This used to be such a beautiful course and the course design is so fun but gosh dang the conditions are absolute dog poop.

Great layout, very challenging

Great course, had some winter damage to the greens from excess and unusual ice and freezing temperatures. Currently the greens are variable, depending on amount of frostbite, and will determine what the future is as weather allows you to greens to heal.

Overall, this is an outstanding Golf facility!!!

Horrible conditions

I have always enjoyed playing this course, but now I wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone. Course is incredibly horrible condition and after talking with staff I don’t see it improving much in the near future. Almost every green is dead and your basically putting on compacted sand. The fairways are mostly hard pan and good luck finding any grass on the tee boxes as well. Truthfully management should just consider closing it down for awhile because with all the play they keep running out there is not helping at all.

Fall from grace

Greens were scorched and mostly hard packed sand, fairways were horrible, tee boxes were horrible. This course used to be A++, what happened? Green fees are way overpriced for these desolate conditions.

Greens

I love playing out here but haven’t been here in a while. The greens on every single hole were TERRIBLE. I understand maintenance but for every green to be this bad was unreal. To charge the same price knowing they’re that bad is rough. Hope to come back and see them in better shape.

Greens are gone.

I’m not sure what happened, but the greens were trashed. Sad too, because they just spent a bunch of money to make them awesome.
Was really bummed to drive all the way across town to play here only to find the course was 💩 and packed. You read that right. The pace of play was brutal for a short easy course.

Hopefully this review will be false in the coming months, but I would steer clear for a while.
