not worth the drive 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 22, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

after hole three it got interesting. it has a basket in the curve of a deep creek that u can easily loose a disk, believe me, i did.

Cons:

very short. it took 45 minutes to play. except for when ur in the woods there are no obstacles. i think i over drove each hole.

Other Thoughts:

dont go out of ur way going to this course. it was over so fast i drove 23 more miles to shreveport to one of the best courses in the area.

Pros:

This course has 3 baskets that sit next to a creek and can suck in your disc and you won't be getting her back. All open shots have obstacles. Hole 1 is about 250. The obstacle is a fence about 245 and 9ft high so your disc must come down above the 9ft fence at a sharp downward almost tomahawk type angle to ace it. It is quick and fun to play. You could play 36 holes in 2 hours and not be tired. If your are finishing up at sundown there is always an incredibly picturesque sundown shot looking out across the lake. I have lost 2 discs to the creek so far. never busy.

Cons:

Not very long. No elevation. No restrooms. This is not a very challenging course and should not be played by pros. Of course any 9 holer that is 2100 ft. 99% of the time will not challenge any pro level player. This web site if used correctly would save any pro the waste of a trip as long as the pro uses this site and uses his brain also to their maximun.

Other Thoughts:

This is a fun course to play if you are passing through but not worth driving a long distance. After 4pm on Hwy 1 heading back towards Shreveport on the right before MLK drive is
Southern Maid Donuts. They fry them when you order and put the glaze on while they are hot and give them to you hot and you sit in your car and inhale them and if you are from out of town you will probably go back in and get 2 more dozen to take home. Or if you are not hungry, Ford Park DGC is about 25 minutes from this park. 2 contrasting styles of course to play that together will be over 9000 ft.
