A new layout is now complete with concrete tee pads as of April 19, 2023. The new start and finish near the OU Tennis Courts. #1 tee is located at the southwest corner of the tennis courts. # 18 finishes near the northeast corner of the tennis courts.

Participants who drive to the course are encouraged to park in P-11 or other officially designated university parking spaces. The new #1 tee is very close to P-11 (note: old #1 is now new #9). Vehicles will not be permitted to park alongside Meadowbrook Road or in the grassy area around the filed event space.
Grizzly Oaks was built in 2009; renovated in 2015 due to the construction of the OU track; and now redesigned with an expanded footprint in 2023.
