KICKING BIRD GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Edmond, OK, USA
Designed by Floyd Farley



Kicking Bird Golf Club sits in Edmond, a northern suburb of Oklahoma City, and was designed by Floyd Farley, an architect who worked primarily across Oklahoma and the south-central United States during the mid-to-late twentieth century. The course opened in the 1970s as a municipal facility and has served as an accessible public option for golfers in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area for several decades. Farley's work typically emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while working within the rolling prairie terrain common to the region.
The course occupies land characteristic of central Oklahoma, with modest elevation changes and native grasses framing fairways lined with mature hardwoods and scattered water features. The routing takes advantage of natural contours without dramatic manufactured shaping, reflecting the era's approach to municipal course design where maintenance practicality and pace of play were primary considerations. Several holes incorporate creeks or ponds that come into play on approach shots, and the greens tend toward traditional sizes and shapes that reward accurate iron play without severe undulation.
Kicking Bird has functioned as a community golf hub in Edmond, hosting local tournaments and junior programs over the years. The facility includes a straightforward clubhouse and practice areas typical of municipal operations. The course represents the kind of regional public golf that has introduced generations of Oklahoma golfers to the game, offering a walkable layout and unpretentious atmosphere within a suburban setting.
