Pros:

Cons:
-Very few trees or natural obstacles.
-Layout varies a bit from original intent as trees have died since course was created.

Other Thoughts:
-I liked the length on the course.
-The real enemy to a round here is wind.
-I imagine excellent scores can be had if the breeze cooperated since there are no other significant obstacles.
-Unfortunately, the wind was about 17 mph with 23 mph gusts the day I played which made this a monster of a course.
-I would advise giving it a shot on a day with 10 mph winds or less.
-Update: I played this course again on April 23 with 7 mph winds. My score dropped 16 shots! This is a great course for wind practice, and it is much easier on a calmer wind day.

Cons:
Few trees
Few benches
The only challenge is distance and the wind
Almost no risk/reward
Just throw it as far as you can then do it again
Few trash cans
Few trees

Other Thoughts:
My "disc rating" is based heavily on Fun Factor.
This course is well maintained and has good amenities. Perhaps the most telling stat is; I live apx 5 min from this course and play it way less than many other courses that are 45+min from me.
It is a good place to go to air out your monster arm.
If you are in the area and just have to play some disc golf, by all means stop in. Just don't expect many technical shots or much line shaping required.
There is a new local club that is loking at improving this course. New trees, benches, new trees, hazards and new trees would make this course waaaaaayyyyyy better so, I wish them luck and will try to help if I can. I will revisit my review after any and all improvements.
Well kept, just not very much fun factor, IMO.

Pros:
Tee Pads on every hole
The BEST tee signs I have ever seen
Good use of the few trees out there
Good use of what little elevation that is out there.

Cons:
No shade
very unlevel ground, I nearly twisted my ankle more than once.
Part of that was the fact the course had grass as high as my waist in some parts. Knee deep grass on the rest of the course.

Other Thoughts:
John Houck designs some great courses. This is not one of them.
On the front nine, it is on the side of a slow sloping hill. There are a few trees and John tried to design the course to make those trees come into play.
With the exception of #9, I would expect anyone with a 300 ft drive to be able to birdie every one.
On the back 9, it is a relatively flat field. There were no trees on several of the holes, just long drives.
Basically, with 3 courses in Norman that are all better than this course, I can see why no one plays here.
I for one, will never play here again.
