Read the course description. It would make a great review. I considered a copy and paste job to see if anyone would notice. So I'll just borrow this snippet of info from the description. It's the first DiscGolfPark in the state of Louisiana and the 3rd DiscGolfPark installed in the United States! I was curious to find out what these DiscGolfParks were all about and this one delivers.

The tee pads are large and roomy Astro turf. I wonder how these will hold up to the rain and heat. The # 17 pad already looks like grass is growing in it. I'd prefer concrete. The baskets are Discatchers with DiscGolfPark printed on the side. I wish they had the numbers on them. The signs are these very pretty, green ones with the map on them. Also, the baskets have these cool, next tee arrows, welded to the catcher part. But, I have reservations about them. Can they be changed? If not, you can't easily move the basket. And I haven't seen many courses where a basket hasn't had to be relocated for one reason or another.

The park has some delicious terrain for an advanced level course. Besides the gently, rolling terrain and lovely scattered trees, there is the Monte Sanyo Bayou which runs through the park with it's murky water and steeply eroded banks. Sometimes, you get the added bonus of seeing old tires and other kinds of garbage. Mostly, I think you don't want to go there but since it's presence is felt on about 75% of the holes, well, good luck!

The course is advanced level difficult. Avery Jenkins wasn't designing no recreation course here. This course is built for real men with two par 5's and four par 4's. The hole I would most like to watch Avery throw (not me) would be # 8. It's just 270' but crosses the bayou twice and the basket is then surrounded by bayou waters. I wisely chose not to sacrifice any of my plastic on this hole. Avery, I'm not sponsored.

17 and 18 are both monsters weighing in at 750' and 660'. The bayou is there as well as two mandos on 18.

On # 16, it's mandatory that you throw UNDER the freeway overpass. Yeah, right. You need to read the fine print on the tee signs to gather information like this.

# 4 is another cool, but scary hole. It's only a 240' Ace Run but the basket is slightly built up on a pyramid structure and the bayou is only about 12 feet behind. Going for the Ace, Avery?

There are two course map signs. They are indeed, large and quite lovely to look at but that one near the # 3 hole had me confused thinking this was the start and where in the hell is # 1. Strange to put a course map in two different location, don't you think?

I wasn't a big fan of the 18th hole. It has a mando forcing you right, around the picnic area. Advanced players will see this and should be able to navigate it. I'm concerned that more mortal players may not recognize it or might just miss and end up throwing into the glutinous picnickers. With the bayou on the right, everyone's going to stay left as much as possible.

There were a couple holes where I wasn't sure which basket I was going to take three drives to reach. That's where the numbers on the baskets would help.

This is really a great course for those players wanting a challenge such as this. Shorter tees would allow more players the opportunity to lose their discs in the bayou.

I've played 50 courses on this current road trip through Texas and now, Louisiana. This is easily the best course I've played. Is it my favorite course down here? No, that would be Zilker Park and Wells Branch Park, both in Austin, Texas. Their challenge was perfect for my weiny arm and recreational skill level. Some of the holes here at the Louisiana Health Care DGC are way over my playing level.

Louisiana Healthcare Disc Golf Park is an excellently designed course in an unassuming city park that throws a lot at you. Its signature holes are long par 4s and 5s that require careful navigation around challenging OB, which are intuitively demarcated by walking paths and creeks. Placement is often hugely important, and creative solutions are often necessary to successfully manage a hole. There's a real emphasis on long game accuracy: even if you throw 450' you'll find some lines that require every inch of that D to properly traverse. Long holes are never really bombs away, but rather offer added wrinkles that spice things up. There are a few opportunities to simply uncork it, though. This focus on distance is balanced out by interesting par 3s of a variety of lengths and styles. There's a great mix here.

Technicality is supplemented by effective use of the trees and elevation that are present. Tree cover throughout the park is relatively undifferentiated, but the design manages to highlight distinct lines that instill a varying feel. There are usually lots of options off the tee, but these are readily apparent. You see the intentions of the hole pretty readily, an achievement for terrain like this, and are afforded lots of decision-making opportunities that enable you to play to the strengths of your game. There's a lot of mental game emphasis at LHC, which is a real plus IMO.

The elevation present isn't substantial by northern standards but very noticeable here in Louisiana and is used to great impact. This feature alone makes LHC DGP stand out amidst regional courses.

The emphasis on high level play makes the course less friendly to more casual players. The combination of a single set of tees, the technical OB, the repeated stress on accurate distance, all require a higher than average baseline to properly engage. This isn't a true detraction - I think it's great to see a course like this in the region, and Baton Rouge has plenty of more beginner-friendly courses such as Greenwood Park - but it does limit LHC's appeal and utility a bit.

There are a few awkward or borderline throwaway holes, especially towards the course's end, that are a product of limited space relative to the course's ambitions. These are about as interesting as they could be, but only so much could be done.

Navigation is difficult because multiple baskets are almost always visible from a given tee. Hole 5 for example has its basket tucked away out of sight, and you could easily play to one of the pins that are visible off the tee. The tee signs and arrows to the next tee help of course but aren't always enough.

If you're big on atmosphere, then this course won't meet your needs. The park is a bit rough around the edges with profuse trash in a tiny creek, etc. Any sense of escape from civilization is nonexistent: a highway runs next to the park, always within earshot, and at one point you are literally playing under its overpass. Cosmetic features like this can't be helped and don't take away from the play one iota, but if communing with nature is a big part of your disc golfing motivations, look elsewhere (like Flanacher).

LHC DGP delivers its promise of a tournament-quality and technical course. It's a great addition to the area, and my favorite course in the state to this point (I have yet to play Lake Claiborne, which looks very promising). I'll be back.

Several other reviewers mentioned this being a shady area. Personally I found it to be absolutely fine.
