Neat short course

Pros: Short course where accurate throws can net you a great score.
Cons: mosquitos, mosquitos and more mosquitos!
Other Thoughts: Course starts wooded, with lots of tree obstacles but which can be avoided. Breaks into more open area with longer holes. Short enough to complete relatively quickly. Definitely some spots where you can lose a disc. Bring bug dope, for sure.

Pros: Easiest and most beginner-friendly course in the area. Plenty of tight shots will test your accuracy, but you won't be too harshly punished if you miss the line. You'll give up shots at birdie and might have a tough time making par, but you won't be entirely out of it. No holes are unreasonably long, and many holes are good birdie options if you're accurate enough off the tee. Course seemed well maintained with concrete pavers for tees, and grass not overgrown, and baskets in good shape. Few water hazards, but one in particular (9 and 16) deserves some respect and is easily in play. It's easy to navigate the course.
Cons: Not a whole lot of shot variation (I almost exclusively used a RH forehand for straight and slight fade to the right), practically no elevation change, and not a lot of variance (the only obstacle is typically trees). Some holes are heavily treed without a clear line so that unless you're very accurate, you'll be throwing and hoping for the best. A stretch on the back 9 from 11-15 is very uninteresting and repetitive, with moderate distance holes with occasional trees to dodge.
Other Thoughts: Definitely a fun, easy course to play. Great for beginners, as it's fairly tough to lose a disc (outside of the water hazard on 9/16). There's a pro shop with restrooms, water fountain, drinks, equipment, and scorecards in the middle of the tennis courts.

Newly Remodeled
Pros: BREC has just redone (10/11) this old classic and it has a new look. A combination of wooded holes and reasonably open holes with many RHBH annies and some RHBH hyzers will test your technical game. Baskets on 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 18 are heavily guarded by strategic trees to the point of praying and throwing. 4, 9, and 15 are good RHFH holes. 8 has a hairpin hyzer to deal with. Most of the other holes are straight or slight turns, but those trees here and there will grab that disc. The grass is cut for rollers. Lots of shade. The nearby clubhouse has a nice restroom. Another rest room(when open) is on the back half of the course. Tees are well-marked with stepping stone pads and a hole map. Parking is fine beside the tennis courts. The course will test your mids and putter approaches. Many of the baskets are on narrow land that slopes away quickly for putts that are not precise. Good course for new players and those who welcome shorter, technical courses. Water available at the clubhouse. Other activities are the nearby zoo and kayaking/canoeing.
Cons: A rain brings standing water on or near 1,2,5 and 6. Only one air-it-out hole, #11. If you want the big arm course, this is not for you. Try Flanacher Road instead. If hyzer courses are your specialty, you will be forced to use other skills - which is really a pro, as well as a con for some. Benches are pretty scarce, so a stool is a good idea.
Other Thoughts: Scorecard/maps are available in the clubhouse, but if it is closed navigation will be tricky going from 7 to 8 (around the corner) to 9. 18 is a decent walk from 17, but you will see it as you move from 6 to 7, so remember it if you have no map. It finishes back at the tennis courts.Overall this is a fun, great addition to the Baton Rouge DG scene. I really enjoy the course and it is a lot of fun. Lots of birdie opportunities if you can hit your lines. This is now my favorite BR course.

A Good Memory
Pros: Medium wooded, new tees and baskets. The baskets have a ring of rocks around it to signify a parked disc. New bridges and very easy to get around. VERY well marked also.
Cons: There is a steep dropoff next to many holes, so beware of a wayward disc.
NOTE: debris from the renovation is still scattered around. I went with a friend who had a 8 year old with him, and said 8 year old found a saw blade.

Other Thoughts: A good course for a Predominately Sidearm thrower like me; many of the holes curve to the right.
They finished the renovation.

Go somewhere else for now 
Pros: Bathrooms, next to the zoo, some holes are very good and memorable (5, 9, 17)
Cons: Flat, ground holds water like a sponge, Old equipment, dirt tees, holes 11 and 12 are pulled for now due to construction, no signs at all, not all holes are marked for distance/par/number, holes are repetitive, not maintained, course very difficult to navigate
Other Thoughts: Went this saturday, course was soaked due to rain the day before, but I drove an hour and played it. Some holes really were great! The course as a whole was not fun. Met a member of the local club who said the course was going to be renovated soon, it needs it in the baddest way. I give it a one out of five and will probably not play this course again until it has been renovated and it has been dry for at least 3 days.

Greenwood Park 
Pros: The course has a nice variety of shots, mostly short, but with many obstacles to fly around. Some opportunities for aces. Most of the course is in a wooded area, which is nice during the Louisiana summer for the shade. Some memorable holes are the 11th, which hugs a lake, and 13th, where the tee is located in a "fox hole".
Cons: Watch out for poison oak and ivy. The animal noises coming from the Baton Rouge Zoo nearby might distract some players!
