Absolutely horrible

Do not even think about booking this golf course. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a course in worse condition. It was straight out of a horror movie. All the greens were completely burnt to a crisp, I can’t even call them greens it was just yellow, dead grass/dirt The fairways we’re not much better as they were all completely browned out burned up and yellow as well This course needs to be shut down and give them time to heal up as for them to be open and charging money to play this place is a joke. We are not talking about one or two greens being bad, we’re talking about the entire place. The amount of negligence that this golf crew had to put in to get this place in this bad of shape is astonishing to me. The fact that it appears a bunch of money recently went into the renovated clubhouse was a complete miss allocation of funds. Apparently they need to invest in a better greenskeeper superintend it, as well as an irrigation system some fertilizer, some grass seed. The list goes on and on, but the last thing this place need it was a clubhouse when the course is unplayable.

Winter conditions

It had been a few years since I had played here last. Horrible conditions, hopefully just due to the season. Fairways were dormant. Greens recently rolled and filled with sand and overseed. Driving range was nothing but sand. That being said, I forgot how nice the layout is of this course. It hits well above a typical municipal track. The new clubhouse is beautiful.

I definitely look forward to giving it another go when conditions improve.

Winter is rough here

It’s a very hilly course. Fairways and greens were slick as ice. Will be in great shape come spring but I’ll be waiting till then to come back.

Pace could be faster

Overall the course was amazing. Great views and very challenging holes. Not a single hole that doesn’t make you absolutely think over your tee box choice or approach shot. I’ll definitely be back when I get a little more experience. Only complaint was pace of play but it’s expected on a holiday and it still wasn’t terrible, just wished it was a lil quicker from the group in front of us.

Don’t go.

I used to love this course. Fantastic trek, terrific variety of holes, great views, but not the experience you want. Their greens have been bad for two years now. I did not see the “warning” that apparently they have on the golf ow site. They charged full price for having grass on 1, yes only 1 green, on the entire course, they are literally dirt. When I mentioned something at the turn to the guy working the pro shop, that I couldn’t believe they were charging full price, he said “ there’s a warning of the conditions” warning or not, it’s bad service and terrible to continue to charge people full price. I will never. Ever go back. He was so rude and condescending, it’s not worth it. I will take make golf elsewhere from now on.

Headed in the right direction

Late winter round so no comment about the conditions. Upgrades to clubhouse, practice range, and #10 tee will enhance the feel around the clubhouse.

Kitchen has a top 3 burger in all of Tulsa so don’t sleep on it. Have been told on multiple turns that the dogs are the best in the world but I can’t stop ordering the burger so I can’t confirm.
