It's a long and challenging course. The park is huge, the course is set off by itself all the way at the back, and in the half dozen times I've played here, it's never been crowded. There are a few holes I really like when they're in good shape (#2 included). The holes with very narrow fairways and 90 degree turns (9 and 11) have been altered for the better. Fairways are usually mowed well. All of the long tees are pavers with tee signs (though at least 2 are wrong).

If you leave the fairway, you're in for a bad time. The wooded holes have well defined fairways, but if you miss you'll have to contend with seriously unpleasant rough. There's a lot of thick underbrush, thorns, and poison ivy. It can be tough to get to your disc, much less get a good recovery shot. Mosquitoes and other pests get pretty intense in warm seasons. On the open field holes, the fairways are pretty wide, but should you go into the tall grass, you can easily lose a disc. I appreciate when a course makes you pay for your mistakes on the scorecard, but a few errant throws can make this course really unenjoyable to play. The short tees are difficult to find or non-existent on most holes. It's very flat and pretty repetitive, with a lot of dog leg rights into the woods. The flatness doesn't help anything with drainage, so it can get pretty sloppy even when other area courses have been dry. I think very little work is done on maintaining the wooded holes, so they get narrower and narrower and the undergrowth stays horrible.

I play this course once or twice a year because I really do want another good course in Baton Rouge, but it's always an exercise in frustration, even if I'm scoring well. The wooded holes aren't maintained enough to make this a good course - #2 is a great example. It's a blind shot, probably a short high hyzer over trees and brush with a bail-out path going well right. It used to be pretty fair and definitely fun, but the trees and brush have grown up so much that I think it's a really hard shot now. Because of the angle, I think it's harder from the short tees, but going over is still the best option because the bail-out is so narrow. As it is now, the holes go around the edges of a huge field, ducking in and out of the woods on the edges. I'd love to see a redesign that puts more holes in the middle. The ground tends to be higher and there's some (very minor) elevation change that could make it a little more interesting. The holes would be a lot more open, but there are some clumps of trees that could be used well. But mostly, it'd be a lot more pleasant. The park has shown that they're great at mowing and maintaining the open spaces - maybe that's the kind of course it should be.

This course was immaculate. The signs, baskets, tee pads, and fairways were all very well maintained and in great condition. This course is on a nice piece of land a secluded away in a beautiful setting.
Hole 11 was definitely one of my favorite holes I've ever seen. The jig in the woods made for a really interesting shot. It would have to be seen to be believed.

Lack of variety. Probably about 50% of the holes are right hand dog legs into the hole tucked back into a little break of the trees. It gets pretty boring after awhile and they just keep getting longer and longer making it more and more frustrating.
Awkward difficulty is the only way I can really think to explain what I want to say about this. I've played long courses, and I've played technical courses. This course tries to do both and honestly is just a bit to difficult for my taste. Maybe if I lived in the area and played it more often I would get used to it. Hole 1, 7, 10 and 18 are all short and straight forward then you get to a hole like 13 where is is 591 foot dog leg right and you don't see the basket until at least your second shot.
Admittedly I have been away from very wooded courses for awhile so I was a bit off my game on that end. But other courses I've played if you hit the brush you didn't pay with your blood. The thorns out there were awful. Wear shoes and long pants if you're playing here. I've seen some of the biggest thorns I've ever seen in my life out here.

I wanted to love this course, I did. It was in a great setting, well maintained and in just amazing. A lot of effort is put into the course and it shows. And maybe its just me but the uber long technical holes that were all sitting with the same over 90 degree dog leg just got old, boring, and not worth the effort.
Okay so after only one trip out there I'm hesitant to even bring this up and I did not actually talk to them but there was a large group of course rats out there and they pulled their truck up by the basket of 19 and were just sitting around drinking so after I played 18 we just left. I didn't want to deal with it, and this wasn't like they just pulled off the parking lot to get their truck there, this was going out of your way to break a few laws and wreck the park.
THIS IS A TECHNICAL COURSE, don't let the distance numbers fool you. I was warned it was hard before I traveled there but looked at the map and thought I would be just fine, well 5 holes in I knew my mistake.
Bring bright discs, I spent 20 minutes on the second hole looking for an errant drive. I wish I had bagged more bright plastic.
