LSU Golf Course

Don’t think of Nicholson on 16 or that’s where you’ll end up.

All of the greens had little weeds growing on them, with very little grass, and they were bumpy.
The fairways were overgrown and the rough was so long you couldn't find your ball..
Need to wait a month before playing there again.

LSU should be ashamed to have their name on such a course.
People should be warned that it is a cow pasture, literally, it was in awful condition.
Never will play this course again.

I love LSU but yesterday it was in bad shape. Greens were bad and lots of mowing needed. It has been wet a lot, and I’m hoping it gets better because I like playing there.

Our biggest complaint was depth of rough and boggy areas in the rough. It was hard to find balls if not in the fairway. We thought it was a lack of maintenance but on reflection after the round, decided it was due to the proximity to the Mississippi River and the high water table. My review of the course was based on those conditions which should improve after the flood abates.

LSU is not the best course around, however they tend to always have great greens, and today was no different. It can be tough with ditches, water, and trees if you have issues with inaccuracies, but for the most part, it is a decent course that I play very often. The staff is always great and helpful as needed.

This course is for ragular non-competitive golfers. For practice and hackers. Some holes are too easy. Signage is terrible. Cannot believe that the school does not have the students design and construct the hole signage. So much could easily be done to improve it a little.

As a Chicagoan on vacation, I was looking for a place to play golf near Baton Rouge. We decided on LSU course because of proximity to the hotel. Course was okay. Some cool holes w/ nice views of Alex Box Stadium & Tiger Stadium. Layout is very interesting, needs better signage on how to get to holes. Most of the greens were nice. Some fairways & tee boxes were straight dirt, which was disappointing. Lots of weeds everywhere. Overall, I’d look elsewhere unless you are trying to stay near LSU campus.

The course is VERY dried out so drives are rolling a mile! I’m normally a 240-250 yard drive person but I almost drove greens on three holes due to the course conditions. Greens are in really nice shape and rolling faster than they appear. The front nine is essentially played against the wind so club up. The back nine, I was hitting an 8 iron close to 180 yards so adjust accordingly. Fun course...pretty wide open but there are some sneaky canals and water hazards so a layup is not a bad play. $25 for 18 with cart....not bad.
