Bogue Chitto's disc golf course is contained in an excellent state park that features nice campgrounds, great hiking and horse trails, and a wonderful beach along the Bogue Chitto River.

The course itself is hilly and has nice views of rolling hills covered with pine trees. For those who like longer holes with pars higher than three, this course delivers, with three legitimate par 5s from the long tees and multiple par 4s on both the red and white tees.

I always have a blast playing this course and really appreciate its difficulty and challenge. The course forces players to use shots they usually don't have to use on most of south Louisiana's open and flat courses. I enjoy the isolation and quiet of the course which is only disturbed by the occasional riders on horseback on the trail that winds through the course's footprint, and an occasional car driving along the road that borders holes 1-3.

Soft dirt tee boxes, while in relatively sandy soil that drain decently, are still dirt. The baskets are DGA Mach 1s that were manufactured in 1983 and originally were installed in Lafreniere Park in Metairie. The rough is quite thorny in many places, and will scratch unprotected skin, although it's a lot more likely to encounter the thorns when playing the long white tees. Only 9 baskets. No bathrooms within walking distance of the course---closest ones that are always open are in the campground between the park entrance and the course.

As the designer of this course I can give a brief history of its development and future. The park staff did a great job over the summer of 2014 clearing out the land for the course. While the course still has some thorn bushes now, when the park began clearing it was wall-to-wall thorn bushes in between the tall pine trees. In fact as I flagged the fairways for the course I was so cut up by the end of the day that I had to throw away the clothes I was wearing they were that shredded. As the course gets more play, the thorns will be trampled down. The park loans me their lawnmower and the grass is cut at least once a month. The park would also like to see players camp overnight in the park. So if you make it out, tell the rangers at the entrance you are there to play disc golf!
