Brutal for non-pros 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 28, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

No worries about cross play or getting in the way of others.

Cons:

I gave it a poor rating and that is from the perspective of someone who is new to the sport and has only played 3 other courses. This is not new disc golf player friendly at all.

There is virtually no forgiveness in the course, ridiculous blind shots, tight fairways with punishing rough complete with briars and thorns. Plus, with recent rain, we literally felt like we were in a swamp. Many of the pins were completely surrounded by water and some fairways were submerged and it was actually easier to walk in the woods!
This is the kind of course that would completely discourage most new players. In fact, I have a friend who lives in Zachary who is interested in taking up the sport, but I wouldn't recommend him starting here!

Most holes require a spotter so I can imagine, as one reviewer said, when the course is busy, slow play will be the order of the day.

As others have noted too, forget finding or using the amateur tees. That is a total afterthought by the designer.

Other Thoughts:

If you can, play with someone who knows the course.

My son plays at pro level out west and he was 4 over par after 18 holes so it is playable if you're a great player. But even he had to make some miraculous recovery shots to stay at that score. Anyone else need not apply!
