They needed to make sure there were enough carts for the 1 foursome ahead of us before issuing us a cart. Photo submitted by u6463401 on 08/20/2023

Still Needs Work
The staff make this course. If it wasn't for their friendly welcome and courtesy I probably would not play there as much. Money needs to go to the enhancement of the fairways, greens, traps, and tee boxes. Once these areas are improved the course will be recognized more by the community and regional area. If it is not improved, it will continue to be a once a month course.
Rip off
Booked tee time day before for green fee and cart. Got to the course and they said it was walk only, did not refund for cart, and did not offer pushcarts. Staff was not friendly. Course was okay for the price of the hot deal but not worth full price tee times.
Okay, I guess.
If you’re an OU student, or someone just looking to get out and do something other than the driving range, the Links is great.
The course is not great, tons of mud and dirt, in fact, maybe more than decent grass. Also, the layout does not have good irrigation. Numerous times greens and fairways are completely flooded after rains. Therefore, the greens are not great either although they rolled decently well when we played.
Also, when we arrived for our 9:15 tee time at 9:00 and checked in at 9:10 the lady behind the counter was kind, but there was man in the lobby (either manager of a the course of resident), but he out of nowhere ridiculed my group saying “y’all should already be teeing off, and speeding up pace of play.” Here’s the thing, it was 5 minutes before our even scheduled time to start AND We had 3 people not a full 4some, all of which were former high school players, so before we had even hit a shot we had a bad taste in our mouth from the course staff for seemingly no reason. Just to finalize the point, we of course did not hold on anyone up and in fact got stuck behind a group for 6 holes of play.
We’ve played this course numerous times and probably will continue to do so because it’s cheap and close to Norman, however if you’re looking for a good golf outing, find a time for Winter Creek or somewhere in OKC.
Always a fun time!
I always enjoy playing here, a great mix of simple layouts and challenging holes. I play a day after lots of moisture so not the most favorable conditions, but I still played well and you will too! Cheers 🍻
Still Hanging In There!
I don't expect too much enhancement of the course during the winter months but it would be great for the course if pre-this and pre-that occurred during the winter weeks. The course has potential but probably will never be taken advantage of because of the ownership. Staff is the best quality of this course.
Not My First Rodeo
The course has improved somewhat in its health. Still need to work on the tee boxes, stay on top of the fairway grass quality, work the sand traps, and get some new tee markers for cosmetic quality (important to the image of the course), The staff girls/guy are people people, which I respect and admire. Your course's first contact with golfers is the staff. They do a great job of being nice and courteous. Need to sell beer and snacks, along with lunches.
Been There
Same layout, different greens, and great ladies in the clubhouse. Greens need some attention, maybe a little time to heal from the past hard rain and some vandalization. Also, the sand traps need some new sand and a little cosmetic attention. Overall the course maintenance seems to be a little neglected, possibly because of the limited finances and inflation.
Girls in the clubhouse are still great to people. I always enjoy seeing them.
The course is in such bad shape it’s hard to enjoy playing. Fairways are dry with dirt patches everywhere, greens are falling apart. They’ll hassle you about a tee time when the course is empty. The hot deal is the only possible way this place is ever worth your money.
Links Norman
Fairways nice green are average I would say 5/18 had bare and weed treatment but overall a really fun course and the club house staff are super nice
Now I remember....
...why I quit coming to this course. I stopped going to this course because of the really bad attitude of the staff. I only booked this tee time because all the other courses within 60 miles of my house were booked up for the times I prefer in this Oklahoma heat. We showed up at 820 for a 900 tee time only to be told that we couldn't be issued a cart until 15 minutes before our tee time "to make sure there were enough carts" and to make sure they "don't get mixed up." The young lady at the counter gave me a dirty look when I when I expressed surprise at this policy. This was irritating enough on its own but was even more so because only ONE group teed off before us. This is the ONLY time I've had to wait for a cart at a golf course outside of the course being so busy that we needed to wait for one to be returned. As you can tell from the picture there were plenty of carts. Aside from that we still enjoyed playing the course though the overall conditions of the greens were below average. Some were in great shape. But there were far too many that had significant dead spots and chunks missing on the greens. I even had to move my ball on one green to not have to putt through a freaken hole in the middle of the green about the size of a deck of playing cards! About half of another hole was mud and algae. Overall I would only play here for the same reasons I booked today's round. I waited too long to find a tee time elsewhere and this was a last resort.
What happened to this course??
I've played this course multiple times and always have enjoyed it. However this time, it was in absolutely awful condition. I will not be back until they get it back to its former shape and would recommend others check on it before playing.
What happened to this course???
I've played this course many times and always enjoyed my round. However, this was not one of those rounds. Everything was up to par, except the course conditions and they were horrible. Tee boxes and fairways were not mowed, dead spots were everywhere and the greens looked and putted awful! We should at least have gotten a discount. I will be checking very carefully before I play again and it had better shape up or I've played my last round there.
Nice little course!
Had a great time at this little place. Great price on goldnow! Woukd play again! Great staff!
Improvement
The course was in better shape since I played it two weeks ago. Tee boxes still need some attention but they are suitable for municipal play. The greens were in good shape and Chris J. was as great a manager as usual.
This course is worth...
Driving past it and playing somewhere else. This course has an interesting layout, tee boxes can be hard to find but there are plenty of signs to point you on your way. Fairways are tighter than some nearby courses. It has the potential to be a decent track,with some care. Course conditions are poor, standing water on greens, bunkers, and in low spots. They were running the sprinklers at 2pm when its 100 degrees outside on the long par 5, water being used also smelled of sewage. Maintenance crew was ahead of us watering greens (making them borderline swampy) in the hottest part of the day. Would only play here again at the hot deal/discounted rate. If these things don't bother you then this is a fine enough course for the price, however there are better options in the area.
