Played on:Jan 18, 2015
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
The grounds are well kept here. There is a practice basket in the NW corner to warm up at.
Rounds should play quickly here. The course flows logically.
***Since the time of this review signs have been installed and show the layout of the hole and have the distances as well.***
There is a good mix of open and tree lined holes. This course also uses the available elevation(what little there is) to its fullest.
There are red painted rungs on the baskets to help guide you to the next tee. New Mach III baskets with the Ranger logo on the nickels.
Disc loss should be minimal here. This is a good course for beginners and advanced level players will find some challenging shots here as well.
The designers used what appears to be an unused piece of land pretty well.
There is a good mix of short and moderate length holes as well.
Hole observations:
1-Plays from North to South with the basket out in the open, parking lot on the left.
2-Uphill shot with a group of trees to shape your shot.
3-Open hole with a few pines on the righthand side.
4-Similar to 3 with the basket out in the open.
5-Shorter, downhill shot with a nice gap to hit upon approach.
6-A downhill shot with a few trees protecting the basket.
7-Slightly downhill, low ceiling shot with the basket close to the ravine.
8-Plays South to North with a few trees on the righthand side, basket just before the bridge.
9-Slightly uphill shot that slopes to the left a bit.

Cons:
No amenities here so plan accordingly.
Most of the holes have natural tee pads which some might find subpar, for me they were just fine.
The walk from 2's basket to 3's tee and 4's basket to 5's tee was a bit long.
Wind will likely be a factor on a few holes mainly 1, 3, and 4.

Other Thoughts:
This is a typical college campus style course. Not a destination type of a course but if you are in the area or passing through its worth a play. Its a good start to try to grow disc golf in NW Oklahoma. Also its the only public course in Enid, with the other course in town being at Vance AFB in which you will need clearance to get on.
Hopefully this will spark some interest in disc golf so NW Oklahoma can get more courses.
After replaying this course now that the trees have bloomed this course plays a notch more difficult than it did in the winter time. Lines are more defined on several holes so shot shaping will be needed at times. Also the addition of signage is an added bonus as well.

Pros:
The course is well maintained by the University. Baskets are visible from tee boxes with red paint indicating direction of next tee.
Cons:
Mostly flat and straight shots, grass tee pads except 3 and 4 use the existing patio and sidewalk. A lot of gopher mounds and large wet area if more than 1.5 of rain.
Other Thoughts:
Parking lots and roads are out of bounds, number nine is a mando on the right side so we are not throwing into players on one tee.
