Best Condition Ever

I’ve been playing the Canyons for 30+ years, and this is the best shape I’ve ever seen the course in.
Please keep doing what you’re doing out there. It is working out nicely!!

They installed new greens and they were great for sure! I wish they maintained them a little better though because the course conditions are starting to go downhill again but it’s still a beautiful and scenic course with fun elevation changes.

Great day at The Canyons

Wonderful day and course was in good shape. Can’t beat the views. Love the shot shaping of your golf shots on lots of holes. Of course it didn’t help my golf game. Thank you for a great round.

Pretty cool Course with elevations and Scenery!

We were in the Tulsa area for work and wanted to get a 9hole round of golf inn. We had a great time in the “nature”. You have a few challenging holes, but I loved it and will most likely be back when visiting the area.

Driving Range, Tee Boxes

overall the course is very challenging and enjoyable.
however the new driving range mat area needs a lot of improvement. for over half of it you can’t use the walk way or you will physically interfere with someone’s backswing, you can’t put the tee into the mat very far at all. definitely needs improved.

the tee boxes today were god awful. they as hard as concrete. fix it

Fun course

I’ve always liked the course since I was a kid. Pace of play there has always been pretty rough with all the kind shots you can have there. This round was no different. I played the first 7 holes in about an hour until I caught the groups in front of me and the remain holes took more than 3 hours All the greens are back open and I know they have been working hard to get them back in a playable condition. That being said they had so much sand on them putting was kind of like playing plinko. You hope it’s going to end up at the bottom of the cup but you have to have some luck on your side. They fairways were super dry so you can hit some monster tee shots and have even shorter second shots into the greens. It has a lot of fun holes and is is alot of fun especially when they greens are in good shape which isn’t the case yet. I’m going to give it a few weeks or a month before I go back and play it again.

Course is open and great

Man what a fun track! Not an overly long course but uneven lies uphill carries make for a real challenge. Greens held well and rolled really well. Greens are a little on the slower side right now but they were very true. I’d recommend this course to anyone! The views are terrific with abundant wildlife in and around the rolling hills and blackjacks. If you haven’t played this gem you are definitely missing a great round of golf!

All greens are back open

All the greens are back. They experienced some burnoff in the early summer and had temp greens for awhile, but are back to 100%. They also improved many of the tee boxes, and moved them back a little(which I enjoyed, since I normally play here a few times a month). Staff was super friendly as always and course is in great shape!
