Pros:

Louisiana College DGC is a perfect example of a course that is effectively designed out of self-awareness. Situated in a small plot of land dotted with trees on a college campus, any course placed here wasn't going to be anything other than casual. The design embraces this fact with a beginner-friendly layout that uses the subtle elevation changes and sporadic trees to good effect: beginners can enjoy a low-key round that still requires some shot shaping and negotiation of obstacles, while more experienced players will enjoy chasing birdies. Although a casual course, there are enough trees and elevation changes to keep things interesting and make a quick visit worth it.

I especially appreciate that the course only has six holes: it makes for a much better layout than if nine were to be crammed in here. As it stands the course plays quickly and is a great option to introduce newbies or get a quick round of practice in.

Parking is nearby and plentiful. The course is easy to find and readily accessible.

Cons:

The casual nature and compact design caps the ceiling on what this course can offer. The challenge factor and variety are both limited, which is hardly a true critique given the setting. You should go to nearby Ft. Buhlow if you're looking for a more varied and challenging outing.

Given that this course is a pretty, shaded plot of land on a college campus I wonder how much picnicking/lounging it sees. On my visit on a Saturday in April no one else was around, but perhaps this course would be tougher to play on weekdays.

The layout can be slightly hard to follow given there are multiple baskets in sight at any given point on the course, but it isn't a real impediment.

Other Thoughts:

I would consider Louisiana College DGC to be a worth a visit while supplementing a day trip to the area. The Buhlow courses, this, and Kees Park are all easily playable in a day and together make for a very nice outing of disc golf.
