Reviews
The Old Oaks a/k/a Les Vieux Chenes
The course overall is an enjoyable course to play. The front 9 layout is one that is conducive to slow play. Holes 5-7 will always be clogged because it's a short par 4, followed by a drivable par 4, followed by a par 3. There's always groups waiting on the tee box at 6 for the next group to finish up. Marshall's try and increase the pace, but you only end up rushing a group for no reason. Once you get to hole 8, your round should definitely speed up. The greens are good when they are good, but they could be better kept to maintain the consistency. Everything else about this course is on par with every other course that I have played. It's definitely worth playing, but I wouldn't expect it to be a top tier course. It it a very good course for a municipal course, and I find the staff to be very friendly.
Fantastic Improvement. Unbeatable Value Within 75 Miles
I have played this course for almost two decades now and I have been raving to everyone about how much has been done to improve this gem. Indeed, a municipal course has a ceiling, but after applying my GolfNow credit, I only paid $46 for two green fees (incl. cart). Every green was remarkable. Not one green on the entire course had a "bad spot". Also, the facility has upgraded its entire fleet of carts. Every cart is brand new and are some of the best I have had between Lafayette to Baton Rouge and Baton Rouge to New Orleans. If you haven't played here recently, I highly recommend that you do.
First time
This was my first time here, and the coarse is amazing!! Was a little rushed by golfers behind me but i was trying to learn course so i was taking my time. My son and i had a really good time.

This course is slowly becoming a terrible course to play. Even with a scheduled tee time, there was no Marshal to have groups tee off at the right time. We had to wait for almost 30 minutes before teeing off. The fairways are
OK, but most are so wet, you have to slosh through them. The greens look like they haven’t seen water in years. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
Fairways nice as usual
Fairways were nice as usual and greens were slowwwww as usual. Pace of play was sloowwww as usual. Tee time was for 1. Tee box was so backed up that we didn’t tee of until around 1:30. But the staff and snack bar top notch as always.
Odd greens are burnt
Course is in actual in good shape. The even greens were slow like the usually are but rolled well. They looked good and had good grass. Fairways were in great shape and even had a bunker shot that the sand was good.
The odd greens were burnt though. They tried a new fertilizer on the odd greens to test it out, and destroyed them. Huge burnt spots of missing grass. Impossible to putt on.
Value course if played on "Hot Deal"
Layout of course provides a challenge if played from the blue tees and the overall upkeep is acceptable; however, paying full price is a letdown because this course is mediocre.
