Pros: - Course is set in a decent sized city park, with a decent amount of trees here and there. There are some benches and pavilions and such, so there might be some interference here and there on a busy day.
- Good amount of trees present here to force a whole lotta line shaping. Some of the holes are very, very tight, like a skinny wooded hyzer on #6, tight gaps off the tee on #7 and #9, a bunch of trees to get around either way on #12, and a gap directly off of #15. Accuracy very important on these holes. Lots of other holes have more scattered trees, very few holes are open overall. Hyzers, annys, low ceilings, some holes that encourage a dogleg hole shape, plenty of chances to have a drive knocked down.
- Some hazardous areas present as well, like a creek/ditch with trees to go over on #14 and #16. Also some well protected pin positions due to placement near big trees or patches of jail. These are places you don't want to end up.
- Lots of length here, there are two holes over 400', two over 500', and one more at 645'. Bring those drivers!!! Also four shorties under 250', with technical lines. But, luckily, there are long holes that have tighter lines to keep things interesting.
- Nice concrete pads, good baskets. Tee signs are good but some are missing. Definitely want to look at the map ahead of time, if not bring one along somehow.

Cons: - Land here is pretty much as flat as it gets, start to finish. Maybe a few holes have some sort of slope, but it's negligible.
- Crossing the road after #4, and again after #8, is a little annoying. Layout is kind of jacked up in other places, like #12's pin located right by #10's pad.

Other Thoughts: - Typical park style course that has a nice bonus of some very long holes, as well as some very technical ones. A nice combination of length and accuracy needed, with some hazardous areas to avoid. Not too shabby!
- Course might be a touch too hard for beginners; potential for frustration is definitely there. Best suited for intermediate/expert players.

Report this Review Evolving course
Pros: You get to let it rip on most holes. Usually well maintained.
Cons: Your arm will get tired on this course from big arming shot at after shot. Seems like the course changes every time I play it. Gets boring to play with not much variety.
Other Thoughts: I don't play this course much because of the distance from my house and the lack of variety to the course overall. But I will say if you're in Tulsa, it's worth playing.

Haikey Creek
Pros: Well groomed challenging course with multiple pin placements on several holes. If you have a big arm it will work to your advantage on this course. But several of the holes are shorter more technical shots in some pretty dense trees. You pretty much can't lose your disc on this course.
Cons: A couple of the holes have the shorter tee pads - not really a big deal for most people. This course doesn't drain well in some places. No elevation change. No water obstacles. Some of the pars are kind of odd - I just play them as threes anyway.
Other Thoughts: This is a pretty well designed course. It probably doesn't cater to beginner players as it is a long course for the most part.

Fun and reasonably challenging course
Pros: Good variety of holes with some longer holes, including some that aren't wide open and require some precision, a few holes with dense trees that require a decent hyzer shot, and some other shorter ones that require a lot of precision.
This course is playable by people of all skill levels. There are several shots that require enough precision to keep skilled players interested, and enough more open areas for less experienced players.
It's pretty hard to lose a disc out there unless you throw a really errant shot out of bounds.
Not much pedestrian traffic on the course as the rest of the recreation area is a decent distance away.

Cons: Some of the tee pad signs are missing and it's there are a couple spots where several holes converge or you have to cross a road so it's a little confusing where the next tee box is. I would have had to wander a few times if not for having the aerial map available on my phone.
No elevation change and no water that really comes into play or other obstacles except trees. A creek does wind through the park but does not impact many, if any, shots.
Some of the par rankings are odd. Neither par 5 should be more than a 4, and a couple of the par 4s should be 3, but you can adjust your score as you see fit.

Other Thoughts: This is a fun course that is playable for anyone and still challenging enough to keep skilled players interested. I will definitely go back again when I'm in the area.

Great diversity!!!
Pros: This course had a wide range of holes. A couple holes were pretty long (around 600ft) while most were around the 400 ft range. Some of the holes were open with few trees while some of them had many trees on the fairway. A really nice mix of challenging shots. This is a really beautiful park, not a lot of pedestrians to watch out for because the playground equipment is quite a ways from the course.
Cons: Some of the signs were faded and somewhat difficult to follow. I couldn't find one of the holes but a local showed me where it was. This may have been my own error in reading the sign.

good all around course
Pros: has a good mix of trees,long open shots and birdable holes,not many places to loose a disc since they remade a few holes
Cons: missing basket at 15,a few holes have pretty long walks to next tee,you doo get a few holes that are close to the treatment plant so the smell can be unpleasant at times
Great, Well Maintained Pros: Very well maintained park, about half the holes are heavily wooded which is beautiful in the summer and fall
Cons: No elevation changes at all; signs at the tee pads would be nice, lots of pedestrians walking the park as well
Other Thoughts: I rated this 3.5 because the abscence of any elevation. This is a great park though as you'll see people walking their dogs or having cookouts so you might encounter some pedestrian interference. I like this course cause it presents a challenge with about half of the holes are heavily wooded.
Pros: Located in a nice park with a bunch of big trees. The design of the course is well thought out and gives you a good and fair challenge on each hole. The course was well maintained and the tees were in good shape.
Cons: The course lacks elevation changes and although the holes are well designed, the park just not exciting enough to offer any signature holes that you will remember for a long time.
Other Thoughts: I participated in Haikey Creek Classic 2010 and while I'm not sure which 12 holes are part of the original course or if infact there are 18 playable holes during all time we played 24 holes so my review is based on that. This course deserves the 3.5 considering it's so well thought out and designed on a piece of land which is not ideal for a top quality disc golf course. With that in mind I don't see so much potential in improving the course that much.
Nice, well-kept park 
Pros: Many concrete tee pads (but not all), plenty of length and in great shape. Mach baskets in pretty good condition. Tee signs are mostly there, but I was told by a local that the course had some holes removed, and now was back up to 18. It was apparent that many of the holes had been recently rearranged. Even so, it was not hard to navigate, other than knowing that after hole 4, you have to cross the street for 5-7, than back across for 8-18.
The grounds appear well-maintained and recently mown, although curiously a large patch of 2's fairway seemed have been just "left" uncut in the most recent mowing. I noticed a couple other spots that were conspicuously un-mowed, looking like they just missed it.
As stated in another review, the pictures made me believe that the course was more heavily treed than it was. There are quite a few big trees (which pose as obstacles on many holes), but overall it is pretty open.
My memorable holes:
8 - Shortest hole on the course, so you'd think it's simple, right? You'd be wrong though, there is a wall of trees standing between you and the basket, with very few holes with which to thread the needle.
9 - Tunnel shot off the tee, then it just keeps going and going, over 500 feet to a basket out in the open. It takes a near perfect shot off the tee just to have an open upshot to the basket!
13 - Sweet, well-defined, right curving fairway lined with tall trees, perfect for a gentle RHBH flex shot. Basket is just shy of some thick shule on the bank of Haikey Creek, so don't overthrow your upshot.
14 - Long carry off the tee over open field toward a stand of trees. What you can't tell from the tee though is that the basket is not actually just "among" the trees, the trees line a small stream and the basket is on the other side. One of the few holes I've see where you can clearly see the basket, but I don't think ANYONE will ever ace it.
17 - Longest hole on the course at over 600 feet. Throw over a lot of open ground before approaching a basket surrounded on all side by a number of large trees with low-hanging branches.

Cons: Like most of the other courses I've played in Tulsa, Haikey also suffers from a lack of formidable terrain. Pretty much trees and some small streams are all you have to deal with, and it's almost perfectly flat.
The "added" holes across the road appear to be just that, "extra" holes that were just thrown in. Also, on all of the relocated holes, there is just a worn spot where people have been throwing from, just in front of the signs. Those tee boxes are not marked at all, which will work short term, as I assume they will eventually get concrete pads like the other holes.
Tee signs look somewhat thrown together, as I assume just about every basket was moved in the shuffle, and only white duct tape with marker writing denotes the new distance and hole name. At least the distances seem pretty accurate.

Other Thoughts: My rating of a 3 could be improved to a 3.5 if they tee signs would be re-done and the missing concrete tees installed. This course just didn't have a lot of real estate to deal with, but for the most part uses what obstacles are there to its advantage and creates a real challenge to a clear line on most holes.
I see in another review that the address may be off, but I used the GPS coordinates and they were spot-on. I also could not find any kind of map or hole layout, obviously since many of the holes were rearranged that might not yet have been created. That being said, course navigation was still not a problem.
This course is just minutes off the highway, and is most definitely worth the time to play if you are in the vicinity.

Memorable Century Mark 
Pros: Nice and shady. In a well maintained park. The holes have honest length. There is a local route in the back part of the course that add in the missing holes. I did not take the time to learn it, but judging from the crowds I encountered, it should not be hard to recruit somebody who will show it to you. Parking is very close to the first tee. The tee pads are paved and there are signs. The best holes were the southern ones that found the narrow alleys of trees. My experience was pleasant and I found it to be recharging before I headed out to the next course. There are some water and out of bounds hazards that make play more fun. I don't know if this is common but the temperature was slightly cooler than in Tulsa when I played there.
Cons: From what I understand, the most interesting holes on the original course are now dead. There were some large soaking wide puddles in the grass along a few of the holes in the fairways as a result of poor drainage. Twelve is somewhat of a strange number of holes. You have to be careful driving into the park because the course crosses the street on the parks main drive right at the turn from the main road. The few pictures on this site made me believe that the course has more trees than it really does, the tree density is actually more like that of a normal park course. The description says "championship caliber" I'd say that is a tad bit hyperbole. For example, I don't remember any benches, and most of the holes were wide open.
Other Thoughts: I had a local guide, so my mostly positive experience should be discounted some because I got the privilege to play with a kid who had played five consecutive rounds before he paired up with me. As a result of that I got to learn some great routs to the basket. I will never forget this course because it was the 100th course I bagged.
