A fun play! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 21, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

It has plenty of wide open shot for you guys that can bomb the disc. There were only a few holes where water could eat your disc but not very at all. It's one creek that runs by and some of the holes play towards the creek.

Cons:

If you are old and feeble the elevation changes might get to your legs which is something pretty unheard of this far south. It seemed like a bunch of people like running out here as there was a bunch of runners in the park. No sweat though!

Other Thoughts:

All in all I love this course and will be down to play it as much as i can. Mainly only come to Baton Rouge to see the Bulldogs beat the tigers or to play disc golf. If it's not one of the two you won't see me there!

very fun and scenic course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 15, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

If you are a big armed player, you will love this course. Tons of huge blasts and elevation changes. Course is very pretty and the area of the park devoted to disc golf does not seem to overlap with any other park activities. I was there in January, so I can't say how crowded it gets in the summer. The multiple tee pads are very well implemented. Unlike many boring southeast courses, moving from the Am box to the Pro box actually changes the line of your shot and forces you to make a lot of risk/reward decisions.

Cons:

Natural teepads. Most of the tee areas were actually fine, but this is a wet marshy area. The locals were wearing football cleats.

Poor signage. No maps, no distances, many of the pro teepad markers were no longer in place.

Shot selection. There was a pretty good variety of shot selection, but I don't remember having to throw very many anhyzers. Also, the course seemed to really favor power throwers.

Other Thoughts:

This is a really fun course. I hate when courses have it all going on in terms of layout but they lose points for things like teepads, signage, etc. If teepads and signs were improved, I would rate it a 4 or 4.5.

Review 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 31, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great elevation changes for south Louisiana... Many interesting and challenging shots...

Cons:

Signage is limited to non-existent. Tee markers are basic. Natural tees are not good if not dry.

Other Thoughts:

The course is tough to navigate for someone unfamiliar with it. Be sure to have a map. All baskets are numbered correctly. All tees are very bare from use so look for that if you can't find any marker.

Weekly doubles on Wednesday night at 6pm(all year long... glowbee when not enough daylight)...

Tough shape 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 14, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Some interesting holes with decent variety of lengths and obstacles.

Cons:

In very poor shape. Many tee signs missing or torn down, basket on hole 5 is mangled. No course map that I could find to compensate for missing signs. Dirt tees.

Other Thoughts:

Disappointing that a potentially good course is in such poor shape. It wouldn't take much to bring it up to snuff.

Best Course in Baton Rouge 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 27, 2007 Played the course:never

Pros:

This course has much to offer. Distance, woods, elevation changes (a luxury in South Louisiana) and water hazards. A very popular course in the evenings and on the weekends with L.S.U. just down the street. Highland Road park is a beautiful park - it's a challenge to just play one round here.

Cons:

The water hazards have eaten a few discs in the past, especially hole 18 where an average drive seems to always land in the creek.

Other Thoughts:

The tennis center has a drink machine and discs for sale and is conveniently located by the tees for 1 and 10.
