Ancient Relic 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 28, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

+Lots of nice oak trees and shade
+Relatively secluded area, little to no interference from other activities
+Tight and technical

Cons:

-ridiculous concrete circles serving as baskets
-very short, holes average around 200 feet

Other Thoughts:

This course is believed to be the first permanent course in the state of Louisiana, and boy is it a trip back into time. The "baskets" on this course are circular concrete forms that rise about 2 feet out of the ground and are about 3 feet in diameter, painted white with big red hole numbers on the sides. Most have water in the bottom and it's not the freshest. Who wants to toss their putter into trashy water and scuff it up on the concrete while doing it? I really don't think that will appeal to most serious disc golfers.

The course has concrete tee pads, although they're very small, about 4 x 4 feet square, and many aren't flush with the ground, although the holes are so short that a long run up isn't often needed.

The scenery is pretty decent, and it's a good place to work on your short game. If they upgraded the baskets I would raise my rating at least a disc and maybe two.

Fun little course, different from the norm. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 26, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Well kept, large oaks, easy to find discs
Fairly short, beginner friendly course
Easy to put up low scores, a good confidence booster
Stand alone disc course with no non-golfers holding up play
Concrete baskets are cool
Flat terrain easy on the legs (I played 2.5 rounds my first visit)

Cons:

SMALL tee boxes
Will feel short for bigger arms/advanced players
No up and down shots

Other Thoughts:

Overall, as a fairly new player I love this course. If you're looking for a super challenge or to practice for tournaments you may want to look elsewhere, but for a fun low pressure round this is the spot.

Pitching and putting in Monroe 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 30, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Great for beginners
-Trees force shaped shots on some holes
-'Baskets' made from concrete pipe are fun and different.
-Course is easy to follow
-Course grounds are well-maintained and clean, there are no shots into weeds or brush.
-Many trash cans available on course
-Easy to find discs
-

Cons:

-Short (4' x 4') tee boxes
-Non standard baskets
-Course does not drain well
-People treat the concrete pipe 'baskets' like trash cans.

Other Thoughts:

This was a very fun and enjoyable course. The course stands alone, so there will not be conflicts with picnics, playgrounds, soccer, etc. Some of the trees are beautiful specimens.
The concrete pipe 'baskets' do not drain. When i played successful putts were in 3" of water with cigarette butts and beer cans inside of the 'baskets'. This was the only nasty aspect of the course.
