Pros:
The more that I play Ford Park, the more it grows on me. I also remember that I enjoyed the first time playing it.
This course is set in a municipal park with gentle elevation changes and mature trees, mostly tall pines. The first 6-7 holes wind through the pines and then the course opens up a little, with a few exceptions, and then ends up back in the large pines for the last three holes.
The standout holes in my mind are 2, 4 and 10. Although many of the holes are laid out very well.
Other park activities don't seem to interfere with the course. There is a good mix of very short, middle distance, and long holes.
The average level of difficulty is not all that high due to the lack of any underbrush to speak of. The large trees will punish errant shots and add strokes on longer holes.
Navigation is fairly straightforward. I didn't have a map, but never got lost after locating the first tee box (which didn't take long). The tee boxes on most holes are large and are wider at the rear which is very nice.
This course uses a lot of real estate and there are no cross play issues. Some of the holes have some added features to make them more interesting (one basket on a tower so that it can be see from the tee (but the tower cannot), one behind a hedge line, one shot between two rows of trees, etc.
Cons:
Some of the baskets can be a bit difficult to locate from the tee and the signs are not the best. All of the signs are marked with a par of "3" which is clearly incorrect on a number of holes. Though there are multiple tees, only one set is concrete. The rest are dirt.
These are minor and certainly don't detract from this being a fun course.
Other Thoughts:
If you are in the Shreveport area, this course is close to I-20 on the western part of Shreveport and is a convenient stop.
