Acadiana Park have some decent courses in Lafayette.
Acadiana Park sucks.. if you're traveling to town play, skip it.
PA Davis, St Julien in Broussard.. Magnolia Park in St Martinville is pretty good too

Nope, not once ever...
As mentioned Parc Des Familles is the best DG course in the area but if should be it is a Houck course. While it has multiple tee options each one is designed to actually be a test and is interesting.
In BR I like Flanacher better than any of the others but a lot of people don't prefer it.* I like that it is secluded, long, has some great shot potential and especially during the week my dog can go off leash.
Highland after the redo is decent BUT it is always crowded with DGers and lots of other people.
Have they opened Greenwood back up beside the Zoo? It was a fun course to play. They were completely redoing it and I haven't been back since they tore it out.
LHC in Scotlandville was nice until the flood kinda ruined a lot of it. It has never been my favorite and I haven't been since maybe mid-2020.
In Laffy I like Magnolia Park and Ace Run and Duzey if they are in decent shape.
I use the Udisc app for keeping my scores and it usually has fairly updated condition reports. Just looked and Greenwood appears to be still closed, it is a shame that was a great course for noobs and lots of fun with several ace runs, I have more than a dozen aces there.
*ETA re Flanacher I always skip hole 2, it often holds water at the basket and the tee shot without a spotter is begging to be hunting a disc in the briars. I know some people that tee off from #1 and go to the #4 basket cutting out #2 and #3 making it 19 holes instead of 21. I actually love #3 as it is a very exacting RH forehand stall shot.

I use disc golf to keep my legs for ski season. Courses I play are in the mountains so lots of 500ft holes. Half of the holes are up hill. Probably play 3 times a week and end up running the course towards the end of the fall before rain/sleet.

Never played, but it looks fun. They have a course at Fritchie Park in Slidell and I always see people playing while my kids have football practice

We just got a course in Houma not long ago. Another in Donner just finished up. A few guys in our group plan to try to get a few more courses up and going.

Sorry, imma leave

When those mtn courses hit winter, The course down in Elizabeth is my favorite. You can skip around, practice hitting gaps, throw different shots without worrying about groups behind you. Holes 1-7, very rare to find those trees on non-mountain terrain out here.

St Julien is a fun course. OCE is a fun short course. Heyman is hard to play with body armor on. Never played Acadiana Park. I’m old and I suck at disc golf. Only play for fun.

They trimmed around hole 2 last month and it was playable for a few weeks. I usually skip 2 & 3 though.
Flancher is my local favorite for all the reasons you mentioned and i never play highland for the reasons you mentioned as well.

I have a bunch of discs, but I now only play with two. A driver that works great for mid and long range, and a good putter. A good % of my discs (x12) are exact duplicates of my favorite putter that I can practice with in my yard or nearby park with my portable disc golf basket.

I too, enjoy smoking weed.
Yep. That's disc golf for you. Also canned craft beer talls and energy drinks on the course.

I too picked it up this summer. Got hooked and have about 16 or so discs. Thankfully we have a ton of courses here in Wichita and I live about 5 minutes from 3. Actually just got a basket for my house with some gift cards I got for my birthday.

Love getting out and playing 2-3x a week. Made my first ace ever last year on a 220 foot hole around the trees. Sweetest sound is hearing those chains bang. I like using UDisc too. Besides getting course conditions and busyness updates, I find the GPS feature to be beneficial for any new course you play that’s not well marked. It will literally point and navigate you to the next tee box.
