Worst course in the area

If Bixby was my only option, I would choose to give up the game. I can not believe that it is a golf course, it would be better served as a public park. It could be a cool 9 hole, but the course is in such disarray that it is too far gone. Just the thought of it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Could be a fun layout...With a little care!

This was the first time I had played the course after driving by it for the last 20 years. It actually has a decent little layout that could be really good if they just cared for it a little more. All phases need attention - tees, greens, bunkers, & fairways - and it would be a good course. #2 is a legit par 3, as is # 7. Par 4's are short but not easy so it allows for some strategy. Sand traps were just dirt, greens were just mowed down fairways that looked like they had been punched (or attempted). Pace was good even though it was surprisingly busy! For $11 it was worth it just to go hit it around, but don't have high expectations or be too serious or you will get frustrated. I will try it again down the road,

Course has gone to crap

This golf course has great potential, but unfortunately it’s the worst golf course in the area. The tee boxes and greens are horribly maintained. I played a few days after they opened again after closing due to corona virus and it showed that no one maintains this course. Bunkers are as hard as concrete as well. I know this isn’t Augusta National but the other smaller courses in the area are way better maintained. We got through 2 holes and sprinklers turned on at 6:30 and when we went to the pro shop the guy there had left for the day so we only got 2 holes it. I wouldn’t play this course for less than $10

Decent course, big crowds mid-late morning

Got in early for tee time and was sent to tee off around 10 mins before tee time. Wasn’t too busy early on and we were able to play at a decent pace but after taking the replay special we were in line behind two groups with up to 3 waiting behind us on shorter holes. Fairly easy course with interesting layouts and nice hazard placements that force you to utilize several different clubs. Greens had some patchy grass for the most part that impacted putting. Hole 8 dog legs to the right not to the left. We made that rookie mistake due to unusual flag position. Overall good 9 hold course for the price.

Hello, thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. We are glad to see you rated the course conditions and layout to be great during your game. Thank you for playing Bixby Village Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.

Good Short Game

Nine holes only. Do it twice. Greens are bumpy but easy to hit.

Great value using Golfnow

Friendly check in. Course was in decent shape. Covid-19 precautions in place. Mask required in proshop. Pool noodles in the cups are too high. Almost the same level as the green. Tee boxes need mowing. Fairways and rough okay. Bunkers very hard sand.

POP was 1.5 hours, behind a slow foursome. Golfnow rate was $9, but using a $10 reward, the round was free.

Great place to learn

Great price, and a great place to learn. Short course, but not all identical shots. I feel like I pulled a different club on most holes.

Great course for the beginner and good test of skills for the seasoned golfer.

Fun course to play. Excellent place for the beginner to get experience to play the 18 hole courses. As for the seasoned golfer, good little track to get in a quick 9 hole round on with a little bite.

In my opinion, Bixby should not be overlooked for the beginner and the seasoned golfer.

Nice Little Course

This is a great place for a quick round of golf. The layout is good. Easy to walk. There were a couple greens that were in bad shape. However, this is a good place to play.

Not too much green

There’s a lot of dead grass and just plain dirt that you’re hitting off of. Dead grass usually doesn’t affect my swing but my usual playing partner thought it was affecting my shots a lot.

On the other hand, you don’t have to pay too much green cash for a round. You get what you pay for.

Eh

Course was about as “Eh” as they come. Not a big stickler when it comes to how the course is maintained but it was a little hard to overlook some of it. Inconsistent grass, dirt everywhere, no real tee boxes. My real rating would be 2.5 Stars.

It has gone downhill

No grass, bunkers are like concrete, tee boxes not mowed or trimmed, holes haven't been moved in so long that the holes are smaller with grass growing over the edge, faiways are basically dirt or dead grass, golf carts are barely charged, and now, you can't drink a beer while playing!

Used to be a fun course, but has been neglected, too long!

Good for the (Senior) Money

This can be a challenging course depending where you hit your first shot. There is good variety in each hole so you can use a variety of clubs on the round.

I qualify for the Senior rate at $8.50 a round, so the price is good for me.

I find the condition of the greens to be lacking due to the variety of grasses grown. Sometimes the ball skips around like a pinball. Also, I play first thing in the morning and the greens have been absolutely soaked leading to an extra putt or two due to the heaviness of the soaked grass.

The staff are always friendly and offer free coffee.

Overall, this is a good value for he money. I can live with the condition of the greens.
