The Canyons At Blackjack Ridge

Really enjoyed this course. Prepare to play a little target golf. I only used my driver 4 times during the round. Great views of beautiful downtown Tulsa! Course was too wet......hold off on some of the water!

I like this golf course. It is definitely the "hilliest" golf course around Tulsa. There are a lot of holes where you go up and down big rises and descents. The course has character. Sadly, this course has just never been able to take good care of its greens. Now. I personally find that the ball rolls pretty straight even across sand and aeration holes; I had three birdies on the day. But for some people it will be disappointing on the putting surface. I give them credit for trying to keep their bent grass greens, they're fighting hard. Maybe they will improve. I still think Sand Springs is a nice course, fun to play.

Almost ever hole had water standing around the greens and sand traps had water standing in them. I realize that at this time of year greens need water but this was as if the course had received 5" or 6" rain moments before we arrived and living in the local area I know we have not receive any rain in 2 weeks. With all the water standing we could only find one working water fountain and the temperature was in the 90's. As we were preparing to tee off a foursome was finishing 18 and one of the group told us that we were teeing off in the middle of a tournament, I walked back to the club house and asked if a tournament was going on and was told no that was the Men's Association, by the time I returned to the tee the group was on the tee and we were asked to tee off on 10

The Canyons at Blackjack Ridge is one of my favorite courses I've played.The layout of the course is very unique due it being built on the side of a mountain/hill. There's only a few holes that are level, the majority of the holes have elevated tee boxes or greens. For example, there is a par 3 that is 155 yards long but the tee box sits up at least 100 feet in the air. Some of the holes you are hitting downhill and some of the holes are uphill. Overall, this is a very fun course to play for all skill levels. It is by far my favorite course for the money. The course is in good shape this summer and the greens are the nicest I have ever seen them out there. The greens aren't quite country club speed but they are about as close as you're going to get at a public golf course. I would compare the Canyons at Blackjack Ridge to Emerald Falls, Forrest Ridge, or Battlecreek. The Canyons at Blackjack Ridge is more fun than those courses but Emerald Falls & Forrest Ridge are better manicured. For the price, The Canyons at Blackjack Ridge is the best course around the Tulsa area for the money.

Wow, this was a blast! My son and I played this for the first time yesterday. I was like a kid playing for the first time. I highly recommend playing this course from a break away from the normal.

This is the second time we've golfed this course. It is always a challenge, so we keep coming back!

Had not played this course in 3 years. Fairways were great,
always a challenge with uphill & downhill lies. Some greens
have some problem areas, but putted true. Would like to have
seen more water jugs on course, better markings for distance to
green, and it was unfortunate that some golfers from one of the
groups in front of us, was dragging their shoes and not repairing
divots. You could tell by how fresh these were. Otherwise, had
a good time.

This course was better than what I was expecting! Definitely worth playing.

Course was tough however it would play much easier next time based on knowing the elevation changes and course layout. I enjoyed the course even with it being a 95 plus degree weather day.

This course could be great with the views and terrain. It does need some attention. The sand traps were holding water, the greens were having health issues and there isn't any water on the course. It appears the the sand traps haven't been rebuilt in years, the greens appear to have the same problem. With some money and planning this has the location to be a beautiful golf location. It needs a mater plan including rebuilding greens and tee's, addition of water and refuse on the course rather than only at the pro shop, lengthen some holes, halt cutting away old growth trees, and lengthen some of the holes.

What a fun course to play. Difficult but fair for a mid handi capper.

The course was in great shape, love the rolling hills and each hole is a bit different. It's a fun course but can be tricky. #10 has a beautiful view from the tee box...

Neat course. You need to know the layout or you could get in trouble.

What the course offers in layout (hills/ ridges, etc) is an awesome change to the rather flat courses around Tulsa. Playing for the first time was a bit challenging as far as navigating the course, but WOW, what a change to the other area courses. I'll be back!

Terrain requires they provide gas powered carts for power to follow course up and down the hills. The course terrain of beautiful rolling hills can challenge an individual and instill intimidation for a beginner, but if played utilizing basics & smart pisitioning, it makes an enjoyable game.

Greens were very maintained and short fairways. Fans on certain greens. Tee boxes were nice

This was our second visit there in 35 years. The first was more pleasant and appealing.
Our one word discription of this trip; apalling.
We felt as if we imposed by playing the course while groundskeepers were watering and spraying. The spray was not identified, but too sticky to lay a club in. Two groups were made to wait while the fairway was treated. We skipped that hole with the thought of playing it out of turn, but in the interest of proper pace. That would have worked were it not for the sprinklers that started before sunset.
It seemed that grounds staff was obligated to cause distraction as they collected near the 9th hole for a performance evaluation of an obviously absent coworker.
We may try this course again in another ten years, but we are through for now.

Have always liked playing the course and don't mind the drive from broken arrow

Sunday evening play is slow but that was expected. It has the fun of a mountain course in Oklahoma.

I know that there are many people who might review this course a little negatively, but in most cases I disagree with them. I find that for the money it is a lovely course. Since the last time I played, all of the construction projects have been completed and a few areas reworked which make it nicer.

The course conditions when I played were just fabulous. Not Augusta, but I was on a $13 special. Augusta can't do that and I don't expect it for the price. We were out there in the afternoon. There was a foursome of real jerks in front that never allowed our twosome to play through so we had to skip them, but I've met those same jerks (I'm self-censoring the terms I'd like to use) on every single course I've ever played.

There is still room for improvement. main thing: in the Tulsa summers, I'd like to see watercoolers on the course. But they're pretty chill when I bring in my drinks to stay hydrated so I can't whine too too much.
