Belle Terre Country Club in La Place was carefully carved from the beautiful swamps of southeast Louisiana. The name, translated from French, means "beautiful land," a title that the terrain certainly lives up to. Pete Dye designed the golf course, utilizing the existing water features and mature trees to craft a layout that is both challenging and scenic. The back tees stretch to 6,849 yards, which will challenge the seasoned player while the forward tees make the course accessible for beginners. Water comes into play on 10 holes and there are also several strategically placed bunkers. Belle Terre Country Club boasts a nice mix of holes that will test a variety of different skills, from long holes where you can grip it and rip it to short, tight holes that demand accuracy.

Wet

More of a heads up than a poor review. I've played this course many times, and while it's had it's ups and downs through the years, I still return to the swampy layout. Got to the course only to find out they'd sanded the greens. Through the sand you could see the greens were maybe a bit roasted. In the clubhouse, they were very apologetic, saying they were running a discounted rate because of the sand, which they in the clubhouse didn't know before they got to the course in the morning.
But the bigger issue was the wet. The course really does sit in a swamp and between an excess of rain and winds pushing water into the area of the course, it's been mostly underwater for days. They weren't even open for the majority of the week. They had tractors out trying to cut some areas, but the course was completely soaked and really should have remained closed between the sand and the wetness.
They were kind enough to give us a rain check - we only played 3 holes and gave up because it was rough - not so much the sand, but the fairways weren't cut and there was still standing water on the course. And it didn't rain all week.
Nice folks, still a good course. Just not right now.

Course was extremely wet from recent heavy rain and flooding. Because course has been wet, they haven’t been able to cut tee boxes or fairways. The course can’t control Mother Nature. Honestly, the course should have been closed.

On another note, recently I have booked tee times through a couple different sites. When a course sands or punches the greens, this should be noted on the site prior to booking reservation or arriving at course.

Unplayable

Course not playable. Rough 12-18 inches. Fairways 4-8 inches in most areas. Greens sprayed and dead, I believe they are about to replant. You will loose a dozen balls in the fairway. I understand the rain and maintenance but the course should be closed until resolved. I didn’t expect these conditions.

The course was very wet. It is normally difficult, but when it is wet it is really hard. Water hazards comes into play on many holes. The cart was clean and in good operating condition.
