We don’t build courses. We find them.
The land was here first. It already has a rhythm, a logic, a shape it wants to take, and the job of a designer is to notice all of that before putting a single basket in the ground. A course that gets this right feels inevitable. Every fairway sits where it obviously belonged all along.
So the work begins on foot, and it takes a while. We walk your property, then walk it again in different light. What that produces isn’t a template with your name dropped into it. It’s a course that could only exist on your land.
Designed courses
Whitetail
One of Louisiana’s premier disc golf experiences and recognized by UDisc as one of the Top 100 disc golf courses in the world. Designed by Mike Brown and installed in 2013, the course combines thoughtful design, standout tee signs, heavy woods, and significant elevation. Holes 1–12 wind downhill toward beautiful Lake Claiborne, all playing as par 3s, before the final stretch of 13–18 opens up into challenging par 4s and 5s. Beautiful scenery, elevation, and memorable shot variety make this a true destination course.
Dogwood
Whitetail’s sister course, tucked into the upper section of the park. Shorter at par 58, but the fairways are tighter and the elevation steeper — this one rewards accuracy and control over raw distance. Blue tees for experienced players, red tees for beginners. Ranked #8 in Louisiana and installed in 2014.
Hippie Point
Nine holes with two sets of tees on every one, so the same nine plays as two different rounds. Flat but genuinely technical at par 31 from the reds, mixing short strategic throws with long open lines. Tent camping sits right on the course, and the lake views are the best in the park. Installed in 2024.
Sam Houston Jones State Park
Built along the Calcasieu River through towering pines and shaded fairways, this course reopened the park to players after Hurricane Laura closed it for nearly five years. Two tee layouts — longer blues for experienced throwers, reds for everyone still finding their game. Par 61 from the reds, installed in 2025.
Towne Lake
Our work in the McKinney area of Texas, at the Towne Lake Recreation Area. Hole details and design notes for this course are still being written up.
Jimmie Davis State Park
A par 72 built on traditional golf’s terms — par 4s and 5s that ask for two good shots instead of one. The front nine opens up around Caney Lake where players can air out a drive; the back nine tightens into the woods and demands precision. Three sets of tees. Installed in 2023.
South Toledo Bend State Park
Eighteen holes with panoramic views of Toledo Bend Lake and two tee pads on every hole, so players pick their own level of challenge. Water carries on several holes add real risk, and the mix of long and short holes keeps the round moving. Hippie Point’s nine sits on the same property. Installed in 2024.
Lakeside
Eighteen holes playing alongside Toledo Bend Lake, routed with golf architect Tom Weiskopf’s principles in mind — shot placement matters more than raw power here. Blue and red tees cover every skill level, and lake views run most of the round. Par 71 from the reds. Installed in 2023.
Hillside
Lakeside’s sister course, and it never touches the water — instead it weaves through the park’s rolling hills for long, technical golf. Par 68 from the reds with a stack of par 4s and 5s, blue and red tees, and views that hold up the whole way around. Installed in 2023.
Buckeye Trail
Our work at the Red River Army Depot in Hooks, Texas, laid out with two tee pads on every hole so the course fits both new players and regulars. Full hole details are being written up.
What we believe about a good course.
Thirty years of graphic design and photography taught me to look at composition, balance, and the way light falls before anything else. Those instincts turn out to matter as much on a piece of property as they do on a page. A course is a composition too — it just happens to be one people walk through.
The land leads
Dropping a generic eighteen onto a site is the fastest way to build something forgettable. Heavy woods ask for tight, technical corridors. Open ground asks for distance and shot shape. Rolling terrain hands you elevation, which changes the flight of a disc in ways no amount of length ever will. We read what’s already there and let it set the terms.
Give players a choice, not an instruction
A fairway with exactly one sensible route is a test of execution and nothing more. The holes people remember offer options — a safe line and a greedy one, each asking for a different nerve and a different skill. The best hole on your course won’t tell a player what to do. It’ll make them decide, and then live with it.
A round needs a rhythm
Eighteen holes should breathe. Tension, then release. A corridor so tight it goes quiet, then open ground where somebody can finally let one go. Hills that punish a lazy putt, and a stretch late in the round that hands out a birdie to anyone brave enough to take it. That rise and fall is what gives a course character, and it’s something you plan deliberately rather than stumble into.
Room for everyone who shows up
Your course has to work for a first-timer with a borrowed disc and for the local who shoots it every week. Those aren’t competing goals. A hole can be generous off the tee and still ask a hard question near the basket. We design to challenge people without punishing them — to reward skill without demanding perfection.
Built for the long run
Discs fly farther than they used to and they’ll fly farther still. Courses built around a trend age badly; courses built around good questions don’t. We’d rather your layout still make players think in twenty years than have it feel current for two. That same thinking is why the signs we make are built to outlast a decade of weather.
Nothing is ever finished
Trees grow. Wind shifts. Players get better. A course is a living thing, and design is really a conversation with the land that somebody else will continue after we’re gone. We aim to leave you a strong framework, not a monument — something that can keep evolving without losing what made it good.
