friendly people

Everybody needs rain around there. Nice restrooms around the course. Water was available on course. Courtesy cart was present for snacks and cold drinks. Lots of water on the course, so checking the scorecard for their locations is a good idea.

What is the story on the new restrooms?
look like they have been finished for months yet not yet in service. The port o potties have been removed long ago yet new restrooms have not been placed in service. Also I believe water coolers should have been part of the plan for the new restrooms. I happen to be playing when the water jugs were removed to be refilled so no water for a number of holes, would it make sense to have a extra set of coolers to replace ones in service while others are being refilled, especially when the temperature is in triple digits.

Great Find!

Looking for a course to play on a hot day in New Orleans, and we couldn't have been any more pleased! The course needed water, but the layout was great, and we were able to complete our round in three hours. The very best part of the course was the Munch Factory restaurant on-site. Beautiful layout, delicious food, and the staff was terrific! I would highly recommend this course for an inexpensive round.

I had a great time playing golf

It was a great outing. The pace was good. One piece of advice watch out for the crows. They will come to you unattended cart and fly away with your snacks.

Spring Golf

The course is in good shape. Medium speed greens. Fairways are nice. Not a lot of recent rain. The staff did help to circumvent the crowded first hole. They had a large group of 20+ golfers playing. Overall a beautiful day for golf.
