The Links at Oklahoma City Golf & Athletic Club

The opinions of the three prior reviews are from the same person.

The Links at OKC has spent the last couple of years focused on upgrading the experience for our residents, members and general public. Unfortunately, this person joined our community last April. His self importance and disregard for rules and other people has lead to his ban from our premises. I appreciate the eloquent reviews after being banned, but must point out the habitual lies this person tells. Court records paint a picture of a man who will lie cheat and steal to make himself look better than he is. Unfortunately his lies don’t cover up the failed business, two marriages, child endangerment's, court ordered drug rehabilitation, and battles over years of unpaid child support. When truths are exposed, he just doesn’t show up for court proceedings. Even his own attorney fired him.

I find his comments in his last review mirror how he is accused of treating his ex’s. The funny thing is, he doesn’t even have a sister! More made up lies.

I find it disappointing to think this one person with 3 reviews gets a voice. I guess that’s what makes our country great.

I invite anyone to come and experience our golf course yourself. We have excellent staff and want an enjoyable experience for our customers.

My 2nd time playing here. Course isn't fairly straight but there are some curves. A couple of the holes are challenging. I enjoy this course both times I've played it.

Went with my brother. Before even saying hello, a staff member hit us with the snootiest, most condescending tone: "You need a collared shirt to play here." I unzipped my golf jacket to show him my collar.

His response? A super suggestive, creepy remark about me unzipping my jacket. It was completely inappropriate and made me incredibly uncomfortable. My brother was furious.

We turned around and left without playing. This place cares more about fake elitism and making women feel uneasy than about golf. Never going back. Wouldn't recommend.

If you are considering a round here, let me offer the clearest advice you will receive: do not. This is not merely a poorly maintained course; it is a masterclass in mismanagement, where a hostile environment and laughable conditions conspire to ruin your day and waste your money.

The core of the problem is the owner/manager, Mark. His reputation precedes him, a fact confirmed by veterans at every local golf shop who simply shake their heads and say, “The guy who runs it is a real jerk. I’ll never go back.” This isn’t gossip; it is the lived experience of anyone who spends time here. I have witnessed him in heated, physical altercations with groundskeepers and have been personally subjected to his screaming, red-faced tirades in the parking lot, threatening bans for no reason. He presides over the property with an air of volatile entitlement, often smelling of a cheap margarita, creating an atmosphere of tension from the moment you arrive.

This toxic leadership manifests in every facet of the operation. The promised “amenities” consist of a dirty clubhouse that feels more like a neglected shed, featuring a dusty vending machine and a single, randomly placed $100 Puma shirt. Do not expect basic conveniences like water coolers or on-course restrooms—they simply do not exist.

The neglect is spectacularly evident on the course itself. The fairways are unfairly tight, often forcing you to play from someone else’s hole. The first three holes are a water-lined ball graveyard, so bring extras. Permanent “cart path only” signs on holes like the 5th testify to chronic, unresolved swamps of mud. The yardage markers scattered on the course are notoriously inaccurate, sometimes off by up to 120 yards, making a rangefinder essential equipment. Most tellingly, the greens are a cosmic joke, pockmarked with unrepaired ball marks and craters like the surface of the moon, often with multiple flags broken or missing entirely.

The final, unforgivable insult is the price, which approaches that of well-maintained, professional courses like James E. Stewart. For that same money, you are subjected to a fleet of golf carts that are a genuine safety hazard. My own cart has broken down three times, and I have watched four other groups stranded, forced to either walk back or limp their dying cart to the clubhouse.

In summary, you will overpay for the privilege of navigating a muddy, treacherous layout with lunar greens, using broken equipment, all under the threatening gaze of an unstable manager. It is a perfect storm of failure. Save your time, your money, and your peace of mind. Go literally anywhere else, but if you want a comparable price with an actual golf experience, go to James E. Stewart. This place is not just bad; it is an anti-golf experience.

Nice par 35 - 9 hole course. Mature trees, several water holes.

Go play it.

PS. iIf you want to take a second lap- senior rates start at age 55.

Nice 9 hole course, pretty difficult for length, but fair.

First of all, the course is now a par 35 at a respectable 2873 yards from the tips. The staff was very friendly. No rude cart guy to be seen. The greens were in good shape and I will be back soon.

Go play it.

Played it first time, 7 holes you can hit driver and it's challenging for 6 holes water is in play. Drawback is there's no yardage markers I could find, so you have to use range finder if you own one.

I played here with a golf pass deal. Awesome little 9 hole course for a quick round.

This was my first time using golf now to book a tee time. The course is narrow, so that sucks for my slice game. Seemed like we had to back track a couple times to go from green to the next tee. The roofs of the apartments had recently been replaced. There was roofing trash all over the course.

This is the third time I went and they are out of golf carts. Staff worked hard to help everyone but please get more carts.
