Flame wars aside, it's nice to see some chatter spurred on by a Louisiana course. They don't get a lot of outside attention.
Lake Claiborne looks awesome. I've been itching to get up there since Whitetail first made its way onto DGCR. It's a long haul for me, about 5 hours each way, so it'll probably have to be an overnight trip, which is what has kept me from making the drive thus far. It'll happen, though, eventually. Need to find someone to make the drive with. Trying to talk my brother into flying down to do it with me.

Qikly,
Claiborne is the most overrated course I've ever played. I think Doof's claim that it's easily better than Creekside is laughable. I'll never understand how a course with so little variety and at least two terrible holes can get over 4. But then again, lots of people complain about open holes. I tend to like the more open ones. So, there's that.

Why don't you review the course and share your thoughts there? The sight is Disc Golf Course Review, not Disc Golf Message Board Course Review.
I like this idea. :thmbup:

It's not something I enjoy doing. I play lots of courses once, and do not feel like I could give it a fair rating on one play. I took the time to prepare a review of a course, only to see it disappear because it was determined that the course was extinct even though it still exists and it still the best 18 holes in that complex. Oh, and this is very much a message board :lol:
Thanks for your thoughts, PM. I'm super curious about this course. If it was two hours closer, I'd have already played it, but 5 hours each way is a hike, especially since I'd be making the drive alone.
Doof and I don't exactly see eye to eye on course design, based on what I've read of his reviews, but I do tend to like tighter quarters than what we often get in LA. Only one way to find out. I'm already thinking that I should try and hit Claiborne in Feb or Mar during Mardi Gras or spring break.

Not alone. You meet me and Doof and we drive up to the area. Play Claiborne then the real class of the area, Bistineau.
I played Claiborne and Bistinueau on consecutive days, and found the finished Claiborne course (Whitetail) to be a significantly better course than Bistinueau. But that is just one opinion. From your comment you seem to prefer Bistinueau over Claiborne?
That is why I think the strength of this site is a lot of different people with different viewpoints reviewing courses. It seems to take 20+ reviews before things even out from the initial excitement, local pride, course revisions, etc.

Yes. But Claiborne over Darbonne.
I also like the idea of an "annual" Top 10 list that only includes reviews from the past year.
Can you post the current results here on this thread so we can get an idea how different it is? Is it too much trouble to do both lists? Or maybe just release the annual list each January 1st? Whatever you decide to do, many thanks for all you do.
Doesn't this site already do that, somewhere? I know it used to, but can't find it now....unless it's just available early in the year.
This sounds like a great idea.

That is based on ALL reviews for the course, not just the reviews from one specific year.

are you sure?

See the tab "2014 only"

Over the summer, I had the poor fortune to play the nine-hole course at Bogue Chitto State Park. After wandering around not being able to find some of the natural tees, finding a dead end after one basket (there was literally no path through the brush/bramble/briar patch to the next tee), a confusing confluence of three or four holes and nothing special with respect to any of the hole designs, I noticed that you, at four stars, had rated it higher than at least one of the better 18-hole courses in the state. Not "eye to eye" might be a bit of an understatement.
Blue Ribbon Pines takes two shots to the nuts! Ouch.
