Wow! The new Ft. Buhlow course has a bit of everything - hills, tight wooded holes, open grasslands. Holes you will probably never get a 2 on. A really nice experience. Start with 1-4 in the woods with tight fairways that are both anny and hyzers. Lots of disc-nicking trees to navigate. Then you move on to 5 and 6 which are reasonably open but protected. 6 is on a hill and I saw a putt roll 50 feet from the basket yesterday. 7 is a bugger that starts out wide open and long into a tunnel of trees. Better get the line right approaching the woods. 8 is an uphill hyzer wooded, and 9 is an anny with open left and trees right. 10 has two choices -risk a shot through the tunnel over water and a canopy, or go around with no chance at a deuce. 11 and 12 move into a combo grassland and pecan orchard situation, and you better be able to thread your shot. 13 is the signature.Throw it long to a landing area and then right angle across a tree-strewn creek with little clearance to the basket another 100' plus. 14 and 15 give some open relief, as does 16 up a small hill. 17 and 18 finish back in the tight woods with annys. What a fun, challenging experience. Water and restrooms at the parking lot. Picnic tables and a practice basket also. Friendly park rangers. Balance of shade and sun holes.

Poison ivy - hey its woods in Louisiana. Road construction which makes it kinda hard to find the turn into Ft. Buhlow. The sign heading north is gone. If you get to the VA hospital, turn around and head back, The sign heading south is there, and you right turn immediately on a hairpin angle.

Cross the US 71 old bridge northbound off I-49. When you see Buhlow Fun Park on your left and soon after a boat launch area with a big parking lot, get ready for the left turn off 71 at an angle. I met friends from Shreveport and West Monroe and it is so central to the state for that. Hope there is a tournament soon to show Ft. Buhlow off. Don't trash the course. Saw some beer bottles and cans, plus empty plastic that is just sad. Carry out what you take in and have a blast!

Concrete pins. Moderate to difficult pin placement and high degree of shot selection. Camping, boat ramp access, softball field, municipal airport. Play park for kids. Tabernacle for picnics or family reunions.

Park closed at 1930 (only a problem in the summer hours). Bring drinks and snacks because the closest store is 10 minutes away (small con).

Overall, this is a great course. Who ever designed it did a great job and put a lot of thought into the pin placement. The grounds are well kept and for the most part, the wooded holes have a defined approach (only #7 doesn't).
