The Canyons At Blackjack Ridge

The Canyons is one of my favorite courses around. The is fun and challenging. The Tulsa skyline is an added bonus. The staff was on point as well.

Elevation change in Oklahoma??? Couldn’t find many faults with this course. Excellent topography and course layout. The elevation change was challenging yet equally rewarding. The area around the greens were a little damp and could be considered GUR. One tee box was dinged up but manageable. For $40 I don’t think there are many better options.$

Money is constantly put into this course for it to be mismanaged. Tee boxes and greens are a disaster. Just last August they “renovated” and the course was amazing. Less than a year later and it’s headed back to prior conditions. Really frustrating as potential is there. Not worth paying the money when other courses in town are nicer.

Black Tee Boxes have already gone to crap since the remodel last summer. Fairways on certain holes have weeds instead of grass.

This was the first round I've played this year. The Canyons is by far my favorite course. I love the challenges it offers, I was really disappointed in the condition of the greens, this seems to be an ongoing issue. The last few times I played last year the greens were the weak link in the experience. It won't keep me away, I just hope eventually the green situation gets figured out.

Folks are friendly, it's just not well maintained. Which to be fair, I don't know how maintenance could be done well with all the slopes. I'll put it this way, there's a reason there's always hot deals for this course

If you’re a casual golfer, you’ll LOVE this course. If you’re a professional or a snobby country club type, then you probably won’t enjoy it as much!

The course is beautiful and has tons of elevation changes. Several holes you can see the downtown skyline. You can also see it from the beautifully remodeled clubhouse and driving range/practice area. One of the holes you hit off a cliff which is a super fun par 3. The uphill holes will really challenge you. And the dog legs are fun! You can do trick shots over the tree line back onto the fairway and cut some corners. The carts are nice, club and ball cleaner built in.

With that said, the greens could be in better shape. They were great when they put them in brand new recently but they have allowed weeds to spring up through the greens which will not give you a true roll. Some greens (like 18) are better than others but be prepared for inconsistent greens and some weeds. Other than that, my only complaint is that sometimes it’s overcrowded; they’ll book tee times every 10 minutes but the scorecard shows a pace of play of 15 minutes on some holes. Therefore, if you go during a popular time instead of a workday during working hours, you can expect traffic jams at some of the tee boxes. HOWEVER, the people who play this course have all been pretty nice so you’ll meet new friends during the traffic hold ups and the course staff are all friendly and great!

This course would be a true 5 star if they maintained the greens a little better and booked tee times every 15 minutes instead of 10!

This course dosn't live up to the design and layout. Potential wasted by marginal maintenance. greens were in good shape the rest of the course is not good. still plenty of time to get it ready for late spring summer.

Fun course, even with a cart you get lots of exercise. Greens were in good shape, the roughs were all being cleaned up and cut back. Keep up the good work.

As an Intermediate player. I strongly recommend this course to intermediate to expert players. Beginners beware, this is a difficult course with crazy dog legs and slanted fairways. Ive seen a man hit 140 strokes on this course before. And I dont mean medically. I will say for intermediate and expert players, I often play this course and leave with more balls than I came with. The rough can be quite treacherous to the untrained eye, and the near 90-degree doglegs, balls can be hard to track from the tee. But, like I said, beginners nightmare, others gain. I found 15-golf balls the other day and holy cow, golf balls arw 21.99 a dozen. What a sweet deal! Also shot a 77. Felt pretty good. Took the lady friend out for a steak dinner to celly. Strongly recommend. Solid course, theyve done great work restoring the greens.

I love this course. Pace is always good, the staff is very accommodating and the views can’t be beat in Tulsa. It’s not very long but it has to be played w good course management. Overall a very fun course to play and a great value w GN.
