Great Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 15, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Turf Tee Pads
DiscGolfPark Baskets
Great Signage on each hole and the course map
Good mix of hole types and distances

Cons:

Prone To Flooding
Low areas do not dry well
Lots of OB
Lots of trash from the bayou that runs through the course
Not beginner friendly

Other Thoughts:

Lots of people seem to complain about the area being bad. I had my doubts at first too, but I haven't had any issues with the other people using the park. Most of them are just curious about disc golf since they have never seen it.

Simply awesome 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 21, 2016 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

I'm lucky to be located in the middle of 2 great courses and about an additional 10-15 minutes to reach another 2.

This courses in the newest, cleanest, most well marked course a around. The tees are turf, the signage at each tee is a well designed printed graphic that shows distance to basket, par,etc.

In the bottom of each basket is a cnc welded plate that has an arrow pointing the direction of the next tee.

The course layout varies from some short par 3 to 700+ feet par 5. There are some slight up and down hill tees, some slight tunnel tees as well as straight shots and dog legs.

The course was designed by Avery Jenkins and it shows in it's well throughout layout. It's a fun and challenging course to play that will reward both precision and distance play styles. As of 4/21/2016 the course is being polished for the official grand opening, but it's been playable for a few months. I believe this weekend there will be basket toppers, more signage with a complete course overview installed at the pavilion.

Cons:

The one real con that I've found with this course is the lack of a bridge in the middle. The course has a small bayou (stream or ditch) for the non southern folks that runs through it. You can take a few bridges around the courses outer area, however there is none in the center of the course which would lead directly to the covered pavilion/picnic area. All in all if that's the only con in 3rd in the U.S. purpose built disc golf park, then that's a major win in my book. Bonus: it's practically in my back yard.

Other Thoughts:

Despite Baton Rouge Louisiana being a relatively small town in comparison to other large metropolitan areas, I think with the right push, and some elbow grease it could become a mecca or at least travel destination for disk golfers.

The food it's great, people for the most part are nice. Highland rd park with rolling hills if better marked, would be an even better park than it it's. Drive 20 minutes and get to LHC disc golf park as described above, drive another 10 minutes to Greenwood parks well marked, well keep course and another 10minutes to Flancher rd disk golf park which is amazing well kept park with beautiful flow between tees and 21 holes!

I'm just not sure where else in the U.S. Could you find this many courses of this quality, so close to each other, with such diverse environments/hole design
