In great shape

The course was in great shape. The greens were nice and rolling true. On the front there were a few holes that had a little bit of poana, but they had a note in the clubhouse that they were fixing it. I was impressed with the course, especially at this time of the year.

Great day of golf.

Course was in great condition but some greens are getting some other type of grass growing on them. Management needs to ask more players to repair ball marks on greens and rake sand traps. Had to fix several holes.

Never played

Was over an hour away from course. Forecast showed storms at my tee time, called to get a rain check. Pro shop said my reservation was through golf now, called them for a refund or rain check. Supervisor said he would take care of it, never got a refund or rain check. Waste of money and time!

Atchafalaya Golf

I played Atchafalaya yesterday for the first time in 5 years. The value using the online booking was great
And the staff were excellent.
The course seems to be recovering from some severe state of decline. About 70% of the greens were in poor condition overall but the pin placements were set to take advantage of some acceptable spots. Many of the tee boxes were needing attention.
The club house and restrooms were clean and well kept. The food was excellent.

Huge improvement

I’m pleasantly surprised on the tremendous improvement of the course The sand traps are now playable and well manicured. My playing partner visited just about everyone of them and he still loved them.
Fairways a huge improvement rain helped but they were well groomed.
Save best for last the green had 100% improvement
also well groomed lots of watering and fertilizer

Great job

course review

first time playing there in a couple of years. sand traps have greatly improved. putting green and several greens on the front nine had clumps of poa annua growing severely effecting the pace and accuracy of your putts. greens were slow overall but at least they were consistent. played course as a single and two foursomes allowed me to play thru on #3 and #14 respectively so pace of play was good. fairways are not as hard due to increased growth of grass resulting with better lies. but could still use some improvement. tee boxes had high newly planted grass which needed to be mowed but was much better than being sparse.

Best it's looked in some time

course is in its best shape in some time, played here several times last year and either the teeboxes were bad when greens were right or greens were messed up. course looks great currently, bunkers even played well. Glad to see the improvements. Also happy they changed out the mostly destroyed tee markers.

Huge overall improvement

I was very impressed with the overall condition of the
Course.
Greens were very well groomed an well watered
Fairways were mowed leaving the right length of grass.
We have had a high level of rain but this allowed the course manager and his crew to properly groom the course.

Overall on a one to ten scale I would give the course condition to be a nine plus

I loved the course. I really liked the big cypress knees out in the fairway to give you something to aim at.
