The New Blackhawk X

Last year the Oklahoma Open took place on three unique disc golf courses (Blackhawk, Redhawk, and Pecan Valley) all located at Mohawk Park. This year the pros will be attacking Blackhawk, Redhawk, and Blackhawk X. What’s Blackhawk X you ask? It’s a new layout at Blackhawk to make it even more difficult than it already was. There’s four holes with new pin placements and those are 1, 2, 4, and 18. Let’s break them down.

Hole 1 used to be a 284ft dead straight shot with trees throughout the fairway. The biggest gap is right down the middle but that’s no easy task. This basket got moved about 70ft to the right which opens up the forehand. As long as your drive can make it out of the woods and take a skip to the right you should be in good shape. With the basket now on the right, it makes for a very difficult backhand.
