Oklahoma City is the setting for this round, where the map follows the real city and the ball rolls across its actual streets. The holes are built from real attractions, starting with the Centennial Land Run Monument. Skip is a local guide who knows the pavement well. This full round of 18 holes covers 7.8 mi with a par of 56, using 4 portals to bridge the gaps between districts.
Let me show you the Centennial Land Run Monument. This art installation by Paul Moore is located in the Bricktown District of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It is a work of art that commemorates the Land Run of 1889 in the Unassigned Lands. I always find the energy of Bricktown a great backdrop for a piece like this. It gives you a chance to pause and think about the history of the region while you are exploring the city. It is a great way to ground your visit in the local past.
The Paycom Center is a multi-purpose stadium designed by Leidos. It is a major hub for sports in the city, serving as the home venue for the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Oklahoma City Blue since 2008. If you look at the seating, it changes based on the event: there are 18,203 seats for basketball and 15,152 for hockey. Other teams once called this place home, including the Oklahoma City Blazers of the Central Hockey League and the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz of AF2. I've seen plenty of crowds flock here over the years.
Let me show you the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. This nonprofit art museum is located in the Donald W. Reynolds Visual Arts Center. You can spend your time exploring original selections from the permanent collection or visiting traveling special exhibitions. If you look up in the atrium, you can pick out the 55-foot Eleanor Blake Kirkpatrick Memorial Tower. I think the mix of art and cinema is a great touch, as the museum has a theater showing foreign, independent, and classic films each week.
Located in Oklahoma City, the Civic Center Music Hall is a performing arts center that serves as a theatre building, concert hall, and movie theater. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Inside, you can find the Thelma Gaylord Performing Arts Theatre, the Freede Little Theatre, and CitySpace. The facility also includes the Meinders Hall of Mirrors and the Joel Levine Rehearsal Hall. I've noticed it's a great spot for people-watching while you wait for a show to start.
The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum honors the victims, survivors, rescuers, and all who were affected by the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995. This site is a National Memorial of the United States and a museum. It is also a National Register of Historic Places listed place. The memorial is situated on the former site of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, which was located on NW 5th Street between N. Robinson Avenue and N. Harvey Avenue. The institution had its inception in 1997 and now receives 418,817 annual visitors.
You will first notice the Gothic Revival style of Saint Paul's Episcopal Cathedral. This Anglican or Episcopal cathedral is located in Oklahoma City and serves as a place of worship. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1977. For those interested in the congregation's current reach, the cathedral reported 1,015 members in 2023. This follows a reported membership of 1,104 members in 2015. The building remains a prominent example of its architectural style within the city.
Let me show you Alice Harn Park. It is a park located here in Oklahoma City. Visitors can use the space to get outdoors and enjoy the local environment. I find it is a pleasant spot to take a break while you are exploring the city.
Let me show you McKinley Park. It is a park located here in Oklahoma City. Whether you are visiting the city for the first time or you live here, it is a spot to stop and see the greenery. I find it is a nice place to stretch your wings.
