This course is easy to get to off the highway, and it's one of two courses at Acadiana Park.

Let's start off with an easy one: Navigation is always easy on the wooded courses, where you just follow the trail to the next hole. The only exception was hole 11 or 12, but it was such a minor thing it didn't really effect my round.

There are some fun holes on this course! But the main emphasis here is "some." There are only a few holes I really remember for good reasons after I played, and they were the ones which lived up to this course's name- short but technical ace runs.

I liked some of the little touches- the wall behind hole 17 even though i didn't see it until it was too late; the mount for basket 18 is kinda quirky.

The fairways are pretty wide, and the tee pads concrete, but after a rain can be slick, especially with the mud. They are usually long enough though

But the holes overall are just technical throws through the woods. They are a little long for real ace runs, so don't get your hopes up.

The course get's incredibly muddy, buggy, and wet. These are not a few of my favorite things.

The tee pads aren't always facing the right direction, and a couple were placed offset from the fairway, so you have to throw way on the edge of the pad, or just in the mud.

While I normally like to elevate a course's rating if it's in a great location (very scenic, well-kept, etc) but not knock it for being in a less-than-perfect place, but this place had it all: there's smelly dumpsters on hole 2, smelly forest/swamp on most of the course, and trash just everywhere. It didn't really effect the rating, which is mainly based on the hole strength here, but it definitely effected my round, and will be present for anyone playing.

The rough is pretty rough. I wouldn't say the width of the fairways are unfair, but I will say- you're going into the rough. There's no way around it. You will make a mistake, you will get ambitious, or you'll just be punished by the fairways which don't always follow the natural flight of a disc as you go for the pin on your "ace run."

There could have been better use of the elevation and creeks, but though there were only one or two uphill shots, I don't remember any down hill. But there must have been some, right?

I was looking forward to this course, and I can't say I'm disappointed, but it wasn't the fun technical upshot ace-runs I was looking for. Maybe that's my fault.

I would like to come back and play it again in better conditions, and not be surprised by the creeks, or sludge through mud. I can see this being a really fun course, and wanting to keep pushing myself to rise to the occasion so to speak, and master it.

Acadiana Park Ace Run Disc Golf Course is like those bad girls. In my era, bad girls smoked cigarettes. Later, they smoked weed. In more recent times, they went to clubs and took ecstasy. Bad girls have always promised things that the nice girl, cheerleaders types wouldn't deliver on. But bad girls have always come with baggage. Terrible tempers, crazy mood swings or they might gut you with their blade. Ace Run is a bad girl. She promises you Aces but oh, the baggage! Inpenetrateably rough, deep nasty gorges and greenish ditches line her narrow fairways.

Ace Run DGC has been around the block a few times. She looks a little tired. The concrete tee pads are a little on the short side. I'd like two more feet. The Discatchers with the yellow bands and #'s are looking a little old. The signs are dated. On the few holes with benches, they're looking a little shabby. The garbage cans are overflowing.

The course starts out innocently enough with a fun throw with the basket tucked down on the right in a gully of sorts. Then you cross the street and play # 2 throwing up the street before turning right into the woods. Now, you are in the jungle. You're playing a series of 200-300' possible Aces, possibly disastrous holes.
# 8 looks like a normal 185' straight ahead Ace Run until you walk up the fairway and see the deep and steep gorge on your left side. But there is a wonderful, heavy duty metal ladder near the basket which allows you to climb down there and retrieve your disc. Even with this ugly lie, I was able to make my putt from down here for a birdie. The following hole is simarily scary, especially playing solo. It's just a little 180' hyser throw but it's tight and technical and you're crossing this creek. Bad girl!

# 12 tee pad is right by some rest rooms. In the movie, The Bucket List"' Jack Nicholson's character says, "Never pass up a bathroom." # 13 and 15 are shorties at 130' and 118'.

This course actually has elevation to contend with, pretty rare in these parts.

I got caught in a heavy rain. What does the gully on # 8 and # 9 look like now?

Equipment is old.

This is just a short, technical course. If you like big air, open, Texas golf course style courses, then this isn't for you.

Not beginner friendly.

No sign on # 11.

Tough to play alone.

I enjoyed played Ace Run. Having a spotter would have helped the experience. Not getting poured on would have helped the experience. Getting an actual Ace would have helped the experience. If you're into technical courses, then Ace Run is for you. Combined with Ducee, this makes for 36 holes of Ace chasing, technical throwing, disc hunting fun.

This is a very short, very technical course. A selection of putters will suffice on more than half of the holes. The tight fairways and punishing underbrush require accurate throws to precise distances. There very few open shots and even those require shot shaping. But even the name lets you know that your distance drivers really aren't needed.

#1 - This is not a course for first timers. Many (well over half) of the holes involve blind shots and you have virtually no chance of hitting a basket that you cannot see if you have never played the hole before.

#2 - Blind shots lead to blind trouble spots placed very close to baskets in some cases. On one hole, there is a creek with a large drop off right behind a basket that you cannot see from the tee box. A ladder is provided for you to get down to the creek. If you like throwing blindly into trouble, you'll love this hole.

#3 - Hole 2 brings with it the added bonus of throwing blindly into oncoming traffic. You cannot see if a car is coming but you have to throw at it anyway. Bring a friend to spot (you'll need the friend on other holes too).

#4 - Some of the concrete tee boxes are a bit too short.

#5 - Minor navigation issues that could be solved with better signs.

There is a hanging basket on 6. Why? I have no clue. It looks to have taken a lot of time, effort and money to hang a basket directly above a mounting collar! The basket is a couple of inches lower than if it had been properly mounted on a pole and the whole thing just looks silly while adding absolutely nothing to the hole itself. It doesn't affect the difficulty level or any other part of playing the hole. It also appears that the support points weren't high enough to allow the basket to be hung at the correct height.

Another basket is mounted on a couple of springs. It will move if you make it (why you would do that is beyond me). Otherwise, it just sits there. If you are fascinated by springs, you might find it interesting. If not, well, it's another silly looking basket.

Some people think these additions are "cool." But they do not affect play at all.
A lot of time, effort and resources were apparently spent on those two baskets that could have been spent on a few better tee boxes for a few of the longer holes.

In any event, this can be a fun course to play if you have someone with you. I don't think I'd want to play it again without someone to help spot for oncoming cars and to help locate errantly thrown discs.

Well marked holes, easy to get around. Mostly wooded and well shaded. Excellent for short-game work. Quick to play. All concrete tee pads. Baskets are all in great shape.

A few down trees make for interesting play, but nothing serious. LOTS of short holes. Gets repetitive. No bathrooms once course has started. Hole information is lacking on some, needs to be updated post-hurricane. Some holes MUST be scouted before playing the first time.

This is an "Ace Run" course. Lots of short holes, seldom a straight shot. Over-handed shots are favored here. Come ready to play your mids. Overall a decent course, but thats it. Just decent.

Course infrastructure, tee pads and markings are good. Mostly shaded.

Very short. Many repetitive holes. Tons of poison ivy, chiggers, mosquitoes.

If you like birdies, you'll dig it. If you want a balanced course, this ain't it.
