Like Battle Creek, Bland Pittman designed the course on a former horse pasture. Keeping its link with the past, the course is named after Larkin Bailey, who donated the land to the city of Owasso. Bailey operated a horse ranch on the land and reminders are still present on the course. The course logo is a cowboy riding a bronc. The logo is on each flag stick with horseshoe replicas serving as tee markers.
Every hole provides a unique challenge.
However, it is a tribute to the Don Sechrest design that it is ranked among the state's top 10 public courses. When the Tulsa World asked its panel to select the top 10 public courses, one of the categories was course condition. In recent years, the municipal courses in Tulsa have fallen on hard times due to tight budgets. It's extremely fun to play. It has long and short.
