Parc Des Familles Disc Golf Course

"The park is clean and beautifully well maintained. The more experienced people in our group said the fairways on this course are not as tightly forested as other courses in the region. Of the 18 holes, about 4 are without trees. On a Saturday afternoon, there were plenty of people on the course, but the speed of play was fine."

"This is the nicest course around and it is beautiful! 3 tee pads on every hole! The best signage I have seen in a course! Great variety of holes from straights, lefts, rights and a variety of lengths."

"This disc golf course is wonderful!! I've only been to several in my time of golfing but this one is probably the nicest one I've been to. It's very well maintained and there are signs and starting areas clearly posted for all holes. Lots of shady spots and the holes are fun/challenging! Highly recommend this park! Bring your family and your friends :)"

"Never have seen such a nicely manicured disc course outside of a city. Fairways were incredible. Those grounds keepers should teach the City Park crew how to maintain a disc course. Had the course to ourselves on a Tuesday afternoon, except for lots of armadillo wandering around! A couple par 4 and 5 holes. They provide scorecards on the 1st hole but bring your own pen."

"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. *Edit*: Played this course again recently (in the summer) and the swampiness must not be understated. Going off the fairway IS BAD. Reports of cotton-mouth snakes by many of the locals. Large spiders. Often ankle-deep water because of the frequent rains. It is a shame because the actual Disc Golf play is phenomenal, but these factors make it less about the golf and more about the environment. Be careful out there!"
