Detailed description of Kicking Bird Golf Club

Kicking Bird Golf Club, is a Public, 18 hole golf course located in Edmond, Oklahoma.

KickingBird Golf Club, built in 1971, is Edmond's oldest golf course. The course was designed by Floyd Farley and played to a par of 71.

KickingBird Golf Club has received numerous awards as the best public golf course in the state and is still recognized as one of the best courses in the Oklahoma City area. It has been chosen as Edmond's Favorite Golf Course for several years running.

KickingBird was re-designed in 1997 by Mark Hayes. All 18 greens were rebuilt, continuous cart trails were put in, new tee boxes added and a few holes were completely re-designed.

Hole number four was converted from a Par 5 to a Par 4 moving the green further west for better circulation and the tee box was moved forward and to the east. Par for the course became 70, down from the 71 layout of the original design. On hole number nine, a pond was added right off of the tee box and the green was pushed further north on top of the hill, which allows golfers to finish closer to the clubhouse. On hole number twelve, the green was moved further down the hill, allowing golfers to reach the Par 5 in two and increasing air circulation for the green.

KickingBird Golf Course plays to a distance of 6,722 yards from the back tees. The course rating is 71.8 and the slope rating is 123.

The course has four sets of tees to offer an appropriate challenge to golfers of all skill levels.
