Tulsa, OK

I miss playing disc golf. My husband and I used to take our kids to play about once a week. Then we had a car wreck on April 23, and we haven’t played since. My leg has finally healed enough for us to go play again. Yay!

There are 44 courses here in Oklahoma according to the PDGA - Professional Disc Golf Association. 12 of those courses are in the Tulsa Metro area. 2 of those 12 are at Mohawk Park, close to the Zoo.

The Mohawk courses (Redhawk and Blackhawk) hosted a major tournament soon after they were established back in 2005. Both courses are long and challenging, and probably not a good choice for beginners.

Saturday (June 23) the Tulsa Disc Sports Association is hosting a PDGA tournament at Mclure Park. A full calender of Oklahoma Disc Golf events can be found here.

Tulsa is a good city to live in here in Oklahoma if you like disc golf. Here are Tulsa’s courses:
Blackhawk - 18 DISCatcher holes
Redhawk - 18 DISCatcher holes. (As mentioned above, these are championship courses - long, difficult, and not really recommended for beginners.)
Chandler Park - 18 baskets (My favorite course and one of the easiest for beginners.) 4000 to 5428 feet depending on your choice of tees.
Copper Canyon YMCA - 18 Mach 5 holes (The only local course we haven’t played, since it’s a private, pay-to-play course. It’s only open Mon-Fri 9am to 6pm, and closed completely during the summer.) 4153 to 5428 feet depending on tee choice.
Dovillio - 18 Mach 3 holes (One of the longest, toughest courses, this one is not for beginners.) 6830 feet
Hunter Park - 18 Mach 3 holes (Long course with heavy woods, very challenging, especially since people keep stealing the baskets/holes. And this is in the nice part of town.)
McClure Park - 18 Mach 3 holes (Beautiful park, challenging course with distance, trees, and a creek providing plenty of tough shots. We play this course when the weather has been dry for awhile, letting that creek level drop. No swimming for discs for us.) 5773 to 6040 feet
Reed Park - 9 Mach 5 holes (Located on Tulsa’s westside, this is a nice one for the kids. Plenty of trees keep the short holes interesting without discouraging new players.)
Riverside Park - 18 Mach 2 holes ( I love this course, but the river’s proximity scared the heck out of me the first few times I played here. It’s not hard to lose a disc to the river here, but it is well worth the risk.) 4948 feet
Westport - 9 Mach 3 holes ( Another one on the river, this is a good, short practice course, once you get over the river nerves. It is a little difficult to figure out your first time. You have to walk the entire course to reach the first tee if you’re not a resident of the apartment complex that hosts the course. No drivers are allowed, only putters and mid-range discs.) 1565 feet
Haikey Creek Park - 18 Mach 3 holes ( The only course longer than Dovillio. This is a championship course and can be discouraging for beginners.) 7549 feet
Mack Taylor Park - 9 Mach 2 holes (A short course with lots of trees, the rain turns this one, and Dovillio, into marshes.) 2385 feet.

Now we just need to plan some road trips to check out the rest of Oklahoma’s courses.
