Nice greens -no fringes

This course is an off the beaten path a pretty cool layout over looking the city of Tulsa. The greens were in great shape and the fringes burned/dead. The fairways are slanted sheets of concrete but in pretty good shape. The course is a value course and is a target golf approach to score well. It is a bit quirky on how the narrow fairways and criss crossing tee boxes all compete for space.

Fun course, even with a cart you get lots of exercise. Greens were in good shape, the roughs were all being cleaned up and cut back. Keep up the good work.

Beginners Beware

As an Intermediate player. I strongly recommend this course to intermediate to expert players. Beginners beware, this is a difficult course with crazy dog legs and slanted fairways. Ive seen a man hit 140 strokes on this course before. And I dont mean medically. I will say for intermediate and expert players, I often play this course and leave with more balls than I came with. The rough can be quite treacherous to the untrained eye, and the near 90-degree doglegs, balls can be hard to track from the tee. But, like I said, beginners nightmare, others gain. I found 15-golf balls the other day and holy cow, golf balls arw 21.99 a dozen. What a sweet deal! Also shot a 77. Felt pretty good. Took the lady friend out for a steak dinner to celly. Strongly recommend. Solid course, theyve done great work restoring the greens.

Great course, hilly and challenging.

Great course, challenging from the middle tee for a 69 year old bogey golfer. Some lovely looking holes, lots of doglegs and water to avoid. It helped that the first time we played it we got paired with a regular who gave us great advice on where to hit/aim. Greens were in great shape (they had damage over the winter that closed the course for a couple of months apparently), and very consistent.

Terrible customer service

Twice I’ve interacted with the old man in the gift shop and he was condescending and disrespectful both times. Will not be returning.

I’ve been playing the Canyons for 30+ years, and this is the best shape I’ve ever seen the course in.
Please keep doing what you’re doing out there. It is working out nicely!!

Great day at The Canyons

Wonderful day and course was in good shape. Can’t beat the views. Love the shot shaping of your golf shots on lots of holes. Of course it didn’t help my golf game. Thank you for a great round.

Pretty cool Course with elevations and Scenery!

We were in the Tulsa area for work and wanted to get a 9hole round of golf inn. We had a great time in the “nature”. You have a few challenging holes, but I loved it and will most likely be back when visiting the area.
