Floyd Farley built a substantial portfolio of public and accessible courses primarily across Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska during the mid-to-late 20th century. His work concentrated on municipal layouts, state park courses, and military installations that brought quality golf to a wide range of players. Designs such as Kicking Bird Golf Club in Edmond, Oklahoma, and Milburn Country Club in Overland Park, Kansas, demonstrate his ability to create engaging layouts within varied terrain and budgetary constraints.

Farley's output includes well-known public facilities like LaFortune Park Golf Club in Tulsa and The Canyons at Blackjack Ridge in Sand Springs, alongside resort courses at Sequoyah State Park and Roman Nose State Park. His portfolio spans more than 40 courses, reflecting a regional influence that shaped golf accessibility throughout the Great Plains. Many of his municipal designs remain in play today, serving as affordable options for golfers in their communities.

His focus on value-oriented, playable golf made Farley a significant contributor to public course architecture in the central United States, particularly during an era of expansion in municipal and state-operated facilities.
