Since this is a bit of a destination golf course, go early and use the outstanding practice facilities.įun day, I'll be back to play in the wind and hopefully a little more grass around the greens. You could easily spend an hour or two prepping your game.
One thing about WInstar that needs mentioned.
We played in 4:05 on a Sunday afternoon - not bad. Pretty cool and they even knew who I was from 30+ years ago! Good group to get paired up with. Happened to be paired up with two guys from my hometown in Pennsylvania. The big clubhouse is now open - no more trailer! The weather was perfect - barely any wind (a rarity here) and 80 degrees. Redbud layout is mostly the original course at WS - very fun, mostly open, some good strategic shots needed. There is also an 18-hole golf course at the nearby WinStar World Casino. History enthusiasts can visit the Love County Pioneer Museum. Nature lovers can enjoy the peaceful scenery. However, it offers outdoor activities such as fishing, swimming, boating, and hiking. Rough is still pretty penal but rarely in play. Thackerville is a small town in Oklahoma with limited tourist attractions. Fairways were mostly good, just a few bare spots. Some areas around the greens are still growing in or are void of bermudagrass. Redbud's greens were very firm although not exceptionally fast. Both courses at Winstar are still recovering from freeze/drought/green rebuilds.
