Parc Des Familles DGC

Excellent course which plays in a marshy swamp. Playing the course was actually a better tour of the Louisiana wetlands than many of the nearby "swamp" tours.

Excellent course which plays in a marshy swamp. Playing the course was actually a better tour of the Louisiana wetlands than many of the nearby "swamp" tours. It was teeming with wildlife and our group witnessed several armadillos, 2 snakes, frogs, hawks, and lizards. The ground holds water well and it's wise to bring a pair of high, water proof boots to pick up your disc from the large, ankle deep puddles you may find it in. It can get muddy.

In terms of actual disc golf play the course is very challenging. It covers a large distance and there are numerous par 4s and par 5s. The terrain is flat and the difficulty comes from having to shape your shot around large cyprus trees and hanging moss. It's not necessarily a super densly wooded course, but good drives are certainly rewarded. You will feel the hurt from thorns, puddles and awkward angles if you miss the fairway.

The maintenance of this course was phenomenal, especially considering how deep in the wilderness it is. 3 tee pads and 1 basket per hole. Best tee signs I have seen on a course with par, distance, and lines clearly Indicated. Tee pads concrete and firm. Navigation was very easy.

Overall an outstanding course. Challenging, beautiful scenery, and easy to follow. If you can put up with the wildlife you might find in a marsh, this is the course for you.
