Confusing!
Pros: Beautiful park, course is mapped out through the woods, which creates lots of much needed shade.
Cons: Most of the baskets are missing the yellow band around the top. Majority of the posts/signs are gone. Very confusing to follow. We somehow completely missed a tee/basket combo. As there were no signs and many of the tees and baskets are semi close together - with no numbers on either baskets or posts you aren't sure where to throw!
There are few trashcans.

Other Thoughts: We were completely turned around and just after a while we gave up trying to figure it out and sort of made our own course out of it. With some work this could be an awesome course. The other half of the park has another course that is much better. There was a crew there working on it, hopefully they moved on to this half when they were done!

Report this Review Not quite a Duzee - But still a lot of fun.
Pros: This course is for players who love tight and technical. It plays immediately into the wooded area throughout the front nine, and only coming back out to breathe in the open areas a bit on parts of the back nine. It still felt quiet and secluded, which is impressive since the day we played there were probably 100+ college kids yelling and screaming by the basketball courts, and you didn't even hear or notice them when you're in the trees.
The course is laid out well, and easy to follow, although a few holes transition back on each other. Also, watch the #13 to #14 transition - it's very easy to turn right to #17 instead of into the woods to #14. It would be a shame to miss, because I really enjoyed this trio before opening up to #17 and #18. Note that #9 pro pin (There are two pins in place on this hole) feels a bit gimmicky, but I personally thought it's ballsy to build it up the way they did. I haven't played to a pin like that since playing in the Colorado Mountains.
The park itself has basic amenities to keep people happy and looks to receive a fair amount of traffic. This isn't a big deal, because the course plays away from these areas, and even when the course does open up to the grassy holes, only #18 plays relatively close to the park action. There are concrete tees and quality signage, albeit a bit short for my taste. However, it's a short course so run-ups aren't a big deal. Another thing about Duzee were the open holes in the park area where the grass was so well-manicured it was like playing on a ball golf course fairway and definitely worth a mention.
BEST HOLE/S: #1; #9; #15; #16

Cons: Although this course is longer, I felt that the drive lines were more open and effectively easier than Ace Run. Not considerably, but I you have a substantial amount possible birdies and some real looks at getting an Ace. However, even though the course is longer, as with Ace Run - it would still be considered too short by most advanced players. However, this is the perfect course to hook a novice on to improve their skills and build their addiction to the sport. Note the transition from #8 to #9 - it was well marked, but you have to backtrack a bit.
Also, on a personal note - I think someone switched the names of the two courses. This was the easier course with much more chances at an ace. Having played Duzee first, I finished thinking, if Duzee was that open to an ace every few holes then Ace Run should be a breeze - not so much. My suggestion is play Ace Run first, and then go hit Duzee for that ace.
WORST HOLE/S: #17

Other Thoughts: It took me longer than usual to write my Acadiana reviews, because of all of the courses I played on my mini-road trip this was the park I would have loved to have hit again. I personally liked Duzee just slightly better for the higher combination of open shots mixed with varied lines and interesting layouts. Having said that however - both courses great fun for a causal round. There's enough elevation to keep things interesting, and it's just hard enough to make you gun for bird be but happy with par. I would definitely make the stop here when traveling through Bayou country. Two quality courses in one location and surrounded by a million Cajun places to eat at afterwards - sounds like a winner to me.

Nice mostly wooded course
Pros: As with the adjacent Ace Run Course, most of this course is a beautiful walk through the woods with shade. The course provides a very good white/blue level challenge with a good variety of required shot shapes.
The course provides a good mix of finesse shots and opportunities to take advantage of power.
There is a second set of "gold" tees (albeit natural) that provide additional challenge, a couple of which are very nice holes.
Hole 9's massively elevated basket is lots of fun.

Cons: The navigation is a little disjointed in a couple places and the course could use additional "next tee" signs.
Holes 5 and 8 are a little poke 'n' pray.
All par 3's.
The rough is pretty thick and it's possible to lose discs.
Hole 18 runs between the soccer fields and parking lot where people are likely to be crossing.

Other Thoughts: Don't be a dirty discer; leave the course cleaner than the way you found it.

Pros: For those looking for a tough challenge, the Gold tees provide it. The gold tees aren't marked very well unfortunately, but they add a considerable amount of distance and challenge to the Duzee. Par from the gold tees is a very good score.
The concrete tee course provides a lot of shade which is great for hot Louisiana summers. A bit of elevation and thick, punishing rough. The Duzee is a balanced mix of tight and open holes, a few more wooded than open, but with a good variety of shots required to excel.
Hole 9 has a really, really elevated green which was completed around 2011.
Some holes are very secluded, and there is very little interference from other park activities.

Cons: The concrete tees have maybe a couple too many hyzer shots for a righty, which might get a little stale for some. The gold tees are not well-marked.
Other Thoughts: Definitely the best course in Lafayette.

Dueces at Duzee
Pros: I had fun playing this course. It is easy to navigate. It was clean and maintained. It has pleasant scenery throughout.
Cons: It is short. It gets repetitive. It is pretty much birdie or bust. It does not have really any holes that make you think.
Other Thoughts: Fun course to play. It can be a real confidence builder. I liked this course better than the other course on sight.

Good Overall
Pros: Plenty of seating, large open field for practice. Nice mix of wooded, clear, and semi-clear holes. Several shorter holes offer bird and ace potential. Fair variety of holes offers a nice array of shots.
Cons: Not alot of options or choices to be made on this course. Alot of "thread the needle" type holes. Not a good beginner course. Several fallen trees and random tree placements indicate a course that wasn't well planned.
Other Thoughts: Beware of snakes, nearly stepped on one at this course. Bringer your shorter and more accurate discs for success on this course, longer shots are few and far between.
