Griffin Park...
Pros: This course offers a challenge to a wide variety of players. There are a good mix of holes. There are some short, technical holes that would be tough for the power players, and then there are some long, open drives that would be tough for the players with just a short game. Then there are the holes that take aspects from both. It's a line that's tough to hit, and it's long. There's also a good variety in hole shape. There's a great balance between hyzer and anhyzer shots. I felt like I threw every disc in my bag those rounds. Even though there weren't any super short easy ace holes, there were still several opportunities to get an ace. Hitting the basket during a tournament can really bring your mood up from a crappy round. Hills were used very nicely. Hole 18 comes to mind. You're teeing off from the top of a big hill and it's a huge drive that you can really air it out. Besides the dog park in the early holes, disc golf is pretty much the only thing there. You won't have to worry about joggers or bikers at this course. Pin placements were very good at this course. Hole 8 was on top of a huge mound and made putting for a birdie very challenging. A lot of other pins were guarded by four or five trees, giving what would be an easy hole some challenge by requiring a good placement of your drive.
Long pads were concrete and short pads were natural. Both were very easy to tee off from. Baskets were Chainstar and worked great. No spit-outs when I played. There were a few water pumps around the course.

Cons: Signs were not very good at all. Some of the holes seemed kind of pointless and just trying to get you to the next hole. The walk from 18 to the parking lot was ridiculous. I don't remember seeing any bathrooms at the course. The rough was very thick and hard to get out of (or even get to your disc!).
Other Thoughts: This course is a great complement to Lions park. There are some open holes to air it out, but they were balanced by the short, technical holes. Overall, I loved this course. I had a great time playing there, and I would definitely play this again.

Report this Review Pleasant Surprise in OKC
Pros: This course offers a fantastic mix of holes. Open, tight, left, right, straight, uphill, and downhill. These holes flow together quite well, in that I never reached for the same disc or shot for more than two holes in a row. A number of holes had multiple routes, each with its own benefits and drawbacks to test shot selection and execution.
Cosmetically, the fairways were nicely maintained, most holes had dual pads and the long pads were cement on all holes except 18. A number of holes also had some custom seating, which was a unique touch that I enjoyed.

Cons: Signage was lacking, and many holes were mis-numbered. I certainly would have lost track if I hadn't been keeping score. I also failed to find the long pad on 4, and had to do a bit of walking to find a few more of the long pads.
Other Thoughts: Short pads were natural, but I played the longs so I can't comment on their quality. Standout hole is #8, "Mt. Kuhar" as I called it. The basket is perched atop a mound 15' tall, so any missed putt is likely to cost you. Run it at your own risk.
Overall, Griffin park is a fairly challenging and well balanced par three course. I would have preferred some longer, true par 4s and 5s, but I am not certain that would be feasible given land constraints. It is in my opinion the best course in OKC, and I definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

Nice lines
Pros: The course plays through a large park with few distractions or conflicts with other users once you get away from the parking lot and dog park. Many of the holes play through fairly narrow gaps with small trees and thick brush waiting to punish errant shots. These holes offer a nice mix of left and right turning holes that felt pretty balanced. A couple holes have really creative layouts where a landing zone is available for safe par play and riskier lines are available with harsher punishment if you go for the birdie.
The more open holes offer longer distances including a couple shots where you can air out a long drive. The last hole plays down off a small hill, it's a great finishing hole where you'll want to throw a few drives and watch them fly. The dual tees offer a nice mix of hole lengths depending on what kind of challenge you're looking for. The long tees are nice concrete pads, and the baskets are in good shape.

Cons: There were a few holes where the grass was pretty overgrown when I played, it can be a little frustrating to have to search for a good shot in the middle of the fairway. The signs were ok, but it seems like there's been a redesign so much of the course had numbering off by one, especially confusing with baskets numbered differently from tees. A couple of the distances didn't match the hole at all.
The walk from 18 back to the parking lot is pretty excessive, and it's even longer if you choose not to cut across a couple other fairways on the way. Navigation can be a little tricky in spots, and the map currently available here doesn't exactly match the layout that I played. The short tees are natural, some looked to be a bit rough and others were a little tricky to find. A couple of the longs were tucked away from the obvious path and necessitated some backtracking to find.

Other Thoughts: There are some really nice lines to hit here, and the dual tees make it a great course to test differently skilled players. Beginners might find even the shorts pretty tough and punitive, with tight lines to hit and some long shots even from the reds. Experienced players will find a couple throw away holes, but for the most part the long layout will challenge and test a good variety of disc golf skills.

great complement to NE Lions
Pros: -nice concrete long tees, natural short tees
-chainstar baskets and tee signs in good condition
-great layout, challenging and fun
-great variety of terrain & distance, lots of shots required, lots of elevation
-well-maintained, grass is mowed, not a lot of trash
-pretty good navigation, mostly obvious, directional markers on the each basket to the next tee (some only have one marker, the gold and red are frequently in different directions from the last basket)
-great elevated basket on hole 8, fun elevated tee on 18
-plenty of parking
-dog park and sports fields
-across the street from NE Lions
-chainstar baskets and tee signs in good condition

Cons: -the rough is rough
-trash cans throughout the course would be good
-long walk back to the parking lot after 18
-no restrooms or water fountains
-poison ivy
-a few tricky navigation spots, signs should clarify where you need to be, a few "next tee" signs on the back 9 would be a big help

Other Thoughts: This course is a great complement to NE Lions across the road. Not only because they are so close but they also exemplify the old and the new. This is a much more modern course than NE Lions with longer holes and a different feel. However, like NE Lions the premium here is on accuracy.
I played the long layout but I saw some of the looks from the red tees and I couldn't believe how tight some of those shots are. This course really does play totally differently from the different pads.
Lots of elevation is used well throughout the course and it gets tighter and more technical as the course progresses. Open fairways with a park-like feel give way to tightly wooded fairways with lots of tunnel shots, left and right or both! (hole 14?)
Definitely one of the best in the OKC area. Very challenging and lots of variety. If you have time for only one course it should be this or NE Lions, depending on your preference of course type.

Review By: WoogieBoogie Played: 6 Reviewed: 4
This review was updated on 3/14/2012
Pros: First off if you are a noob or noobish at disc golf then i would recommend sticking to red tees not the concrete as these add about 100 feet on average to the hole. Not too hard to find your way around, however if it is the first time playing the course remember to turn into the dog park from 12th, not the park (park). The holes themselves provide quite a challenge. I would not recommend playing right after rain.
Cons: If you are new to the course it can be difficult to find some of the concrete tees however the AM (red) pads are much more fluidly connected to where its obvious, not so with the pro (concrete) pads. Water isn't really an issue unless its just rained in which case you may have to deal with a creek that runs through about 3 holes and gets to about waist height.
Other Thoughts: Really nice course, if your feeling frisky after 18 you can always drive the 30 seconds to Lions across the street and hit up another 18 there. If your not comfortable with hilly terrain (bum ankle,knee, or hip) then this may not be the course for you. *Update* There is now a practice basket a few feet from the first tee, should improve course scores.

Fun and challenging
Pros: Lots of challenge in this course. You can really air out some shots. You use many types of throws throughout. Not very crowded. There are TWO TEEBOXES for most holes! Sometimes the "red" tee is a completely different shot, making for some awesome new holes.
Cons: This course only has cons if your a baby. JK. This is a long course and can be very tiring. Not very beginner friendly.

Fun Course
Pros: Had a great time playing this course. Truly a scenic trip through some Oklahoma wilderness. The course is a challenge, but not in a frustrating way. I had to use my back hand, sidearm and overhand shots to efficiently complete the 18. Can't wait to get back up there and play again.
Cons: Course is a bit under construction. most of the holes have two tee boxes. Most of those holes only have a concrete tee box for the longer distance. I wouldn't recommend playing after a rain.
It's obvious a fairly resent "redisign" has been done. At some point, the baskets numbering is thrown off - 8 is really 9....9 really 10. I don't like to think too much when playing, so I got an "ice cream" headache trying to figure out where I was and where I needed to go

Other Thoughts: Take the map provided by this wonderful site. The next holes are not always obvious. At 14, take a left, cross the small paved road and walk until you reach the fence line to the 15th tee(s).
If you find a red starfire on 15, enjoy!

Tough in a good way
Pros: - Offers more variety than any courses I have tried so far
- tee boxes are in great shape
- park was very clean
- course layout forces you to work throws you may not use often
- Great use of landscape to create challenge

Cons: - Poison Ivy
- Thick brush should you miss the fairways
- Poison Ivy
- some of the signage is missing making a little tough to figure out where to go next if you are not familiar with the course layout

Other Thoughts: They layout of this course offers alot of risk vs. reward. Some of the throws can be very tough and tight but when you manage to get it right it feels great. I even managed to finally try out a few tomahawk throws with great success over some of the blocking trees. If you can keep your throws low and straight you will do well in the back end of the course.

Other Thoughts: This is a long time work in progress. As you can read in the description, the course was just changed up this year.
Hole #1's regular tee box was a pretty good hole. It was very rough though. I also noticed a short position that looked like a fun tunnel shot. (I didn't play it)
#2 was a long hole across an open field. It needs to be mowed badly and it took me 15 min to find my drive.
#3 (new hole) was a nice hole that they put some fallen trees in front of the basket. The tee is on the side of a hill with the green area at the end of that hill. Overthrow the hole and you are in trouble.
#4 good hole and your typical type of disc golf hole.
#5 GREAT hole with well defined fairway.
for the most part, the rest of the holes until #15 are using the natural fairways in the park. Miss the fairway and you are in deep dodo (trust me, I was more than once)
#15 has a clowns mouth mandatory. They are basically making you throw though a pachinko set of trees.
#16 was so overgrown (because of the new hill) I threw a simple drive and upshot for my par.
#18 could be a signature hole. It is still rough because of the construction of the damn, but it was a fun hole to play. Throwing off a large dirt pile, down to the Damn. only those with big arms will throw there drive into the pond, the rest of us will have to watch our upshot.
