Mohawk pecan valley
Greens in good shape fairways was a mix of grass and bare spots. To be expected middle of summer 105 degrees. Overall was good day. Staff was friendly and food was good.
Has declined rapidly over the past few years
Sand traps are full of gravel, greens are more sand than grass, quality of grass throughout is very poor. Your ball can hit the green really hard and it still won’t make any kind of divot. It’s disappointing how poorly this course has been taken care of. Standing water everywhere due to such poor drainage that you will lose your ball in, even in the middle of the fairways and sand traps. They will have to invest a ton of money and time into this course to bring it back up to a decent condition. Hate to see how bad the course is now
Sand traps terrible. Playing on dirt a lot of the time. Greens not blown off. Layers of debris not removed for days. Impossible to put. Youth tournament playing behind us. Very embarrassing that they had to play a Tulsa course with these conditions.
30 years later
Revisited thus course after 30 years. Front changed to accommodate First Tee.
Back nine fun but in pretty poor shape.
Terrible condition
The course was in terrible condition. The greens had little clumps of grass growing in them and would alter the direction of the putts. The sand traps were filled with rocks and very little sand. The fairways were not very good either; however, the recent weather had a large part in their condition.
This is still winter season, nice to golf in February.
With this middle of February course was good, but just know greens were hard and fast, had some grass starting to grow on greens. There was some holes that had some water in areas that would not normally be wet. Overall fun playing course. I played on a windy day but still had 6 pars.
An ok round of golf
The first nine were hard as a rock. Both fairways and greens were dry and very fast.
The second nine were in much better shape. Still rough in spots, but overall much better.
The play was fast; our twosome finished in 3 hours.
The staff were friendly and efficient.
Overall it was a decent round.
Swamp
They should really let you know before you pay full price that each hole is soaked or under water. The cart paths were covered in mud. Overall terrible experience
Good design, with an easy front, but more challenging back nine.
Everyone at Mohawk kind of regards Pecan Valley as the “children’s course” because of its mid-2000’s redesign to accommodate The First Tee program. I am glad TFT exists because we need young golfers, but redesigning cherished holes to make them easier isn’t something that appeals to most golfers. However, it is my favorite course to play at Mohawk Park because:
1. It is always the less busy of the two courses.
2. Oklahoma legend Perry Maxwell’s design of many of the holes on Pecan Valley are the most challenging and fun of either course.
The course is short, they took the course and reversed the nines, the old front 9 is now the back 9. They chopped down some par fives on the new front 9 to make a layout friendlier for kids. There are some challenges on the front, but overall F9 is very easy. Par here is 32. There are four par 3’s and 5 par 4’s. #1 is a par three, and it’s left-hand proximity to water makes it the toughest par 3. #2 is a drivable green par 4, scandalously short. Holes 3-8 are the same story, short, but needing placement to set up for the Maxwell greens. #9 is probably my favorite of the redesigned holes, a blind approach to the green to prepare you for the abrupt advance in difficulty on the back.
The back nine of Pecan is regarded as just as fun as the Woodbine course, and you’ll find many a golfer sneak over from the Woodbine front nine to escape a slow foursome. #10 is a par 5, finally, and a good birdie opportunity. #12 and #13 dogleg somewhat and #14 and the tougher par5 #15 require the navigation of some large pecan trees. #17 is my favorite on both courses and most indicative of the use of elevation in Maxwellian design. A 200yd dogleg to the water par 4 where club selection is important to avoid both the water and a large left hand bunker. Then from there it’s another 170 over the water and uphill to the green. #17 is not for kids. #18 is easier, but the same story as far as a tall plateaued green that challenges club selection.
Pros: Maxwell designed with challenging greens, good layout, seldom busy, good morale booster on the front leading to a reality check on the back.
Cons: Traps need improving badly. Tee boxes too. Will not be the toughest course you ever play and sometimes the front feels like going back to tee-ball and really laying some smoke down on the kids.
Great muni beginner course
5 stars is based on what I would expect for a muni course. This one is great, especially for first time golfers. This was my wife's first time out on a full 18 holes, and the shorter front nine really was a good way to break things in. Definitely recommend this for anyone learning golf. Not too much water out there, but nonetheless I seem to find it every time
