Disappointed to say the least.

Due to a family issue our 4th had to drop out and left us with just a 3some. We were still charged for the 4th even though he didn't show up. The staff explained there was nothing they could so when obviously they run their business and they can due as they please whether it's related to golfnow.com or not. They gave a rain check for the extra greens fees they charged but at $70 this course is average at best and is an hrs driving distance from Baton Rouge and an hour an a half from New Orleans. Obviously the saying "the customer is always right" does not adhere to carter plantation. Will not recommend this course to anyone.

Unsure as to what part of Baton Rouge you reside in, but I live in south BR and it takes me 30 minutes to get there. Also, if you booked with Golf Now, Carter has NOTHING to do with the payment, which if you read with Golf Now, is non-refundable. Staff is very friendly as I have played there last year a dozen times.

Always great.

Very nice layout with fast, smooth greens. A little waiting while playing but as to be expected on a nice day. I did notice a good bit of ball marks on the greens where people didn’t fix them. Besides that, the course is great as always.

Everything Was Perfect

Got a last second deal for $29 + tax. Not many golfers being a Wednesday early afternoon. Had the whole course to myself. Everything is so well kept from range to the pro shop to the course itself. Course is challenging from pro and gold tees.

Very Slow Pace of Play

Very slow pace of play. I was a single and wasn’t able to play through due to every group with groups ahead of them. Makes for a long round but still my favorite course within 60 miles of my home. Great Course!!
