Abita Springs Golf Club in St. Tammany Parish is one of the area's best kept secrets. It offers one of the best golf values as well as a challenging round. The course sprawls across open, rolling hills dotted with natural water features. The layout will require the use of all the clubs in your bag with its narrow fairways and a variety of elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. Accuracy will come in handy as well when dealing with the sometimes-hidden water hazards but it's not an overly punishing layout for the high handicapper. The risk-reward nature of the golf course appeals to players of all skill levels. Locals who frequent the course point to the greens as Abita Springs' best feature, touting that they are comparable to those on higher-end courses.

Good Greens

The course was fun and challenging on numerous holes. Tight fairways make for difficult tee shots. The fairways were pretty good considering its March and the greens were great. Had a lot of fun and will go back.

This course charges you an extra fee just to use your credit card! i will not go back until they change this policy!

I think it is rediculous that a customer should have to pay a fee in order to buy a business's goods or services! I will not pay such a fee again! I will not be back unless they change this policy! The course was fair in difficulty and they had a few fairways that hold water! For the price it is not a horrible course but I'm not making that drive to be hit with extra fees!

It was like playing in a swamp. Horrible drainage. The clubhouse is like a farmhouse on a cow pasture.

Best course on the northshore for the money!

It has some narrow holes that will add a few strokes to your score card. Very fun course and pricing is perfect unlike a lot of other over priced courses.

This course is a good test using all clubs in bag.

The greens are the course's best feature and are always in good shape. The tees could use some work and the fairways are average to above average. The rates are some of the best in the area. The course does not drain well so it is best not to play after moderate rainfall.

interesting adventure

The course is a very good value. But they need to manage the play. On Friday morning after Thanksgiving they had 5 and 6 yr old kids playing with their dads.....the kids were whiffing the ball the whole time and of course having to take extras shots......the group behind them was a group of of 5 --- yes five.......everyone had a tee time supposedly....but we learned after we went to the range and practiced putting, the groups were being told just get in line for the 1st tee,,,,needless to say, we just had to get in line...which meant the 4th group waiting.......this surely could have been managed better......

This course can be challenging.

I was thoroughly impressed with the greens. They were at times very difficult to not only read, but also make putts.

Nice greens

Not bad. Greens were as good as some of the more expensive courses in the area. Well thought out. Everything you could ask for. Clubhouse has a good vibe. I will definitely return.

Greens were in excellent condition

I played Abita Springs 4 years ago and it was a goat ranch! Yesterday I played there again for the first time and boy was I pleasently surprised. The greens have been redone and putted perfectly. The fairways have a lot more grass than they did in the past. I highly recommend this course for the price!
