Course design is excellent staff was very helpful
One of two big issues was corrected. The greens are
In horrible condition. The greens have to be address.
Nice layout.
Fairways and bunkers are in good shape but the greens are in terrible condition. To be fair, this summer has been brutally hot with very little rain so it’s not too surprising. Awful weed problem on the greens as well. Still a nice course for the price and I do recommend it as the layout and surroundings are beautiful and show off what south Louisiana is all about.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for the condition of the greens, which was a result of the hot and dry summer. We appreciate your recommendation and are glad to hear that you enjoyed the layout and surroundings of our golf course.
Course refinishing sand traps very good results
Fairways need watering as do the greens.
Greens in poor condition grass is very dry an has weed
Growth
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize if you found the course conditions less than satisfactory and we appreciate your feedback. We will work on addressing the issues mentioned. Thank you again for your review.
Nice Day
Nice layout but course was kind of dry from drought and lack of rain.
I’ll be back again for rain check they gave me, I only played the front nine.
Great mixture of golf and nature
Wonderful course with great pace of play. Challenging holes and layout. The greens had some rough patches on the edge but usually did not affect play.
Great course!
The front few greens and tee boxes are under repair but that’s the price you pay for improvement. For the money, this is my favorite course.
Poor Greens
The greens were in poor shape. The ball did not roll smoothly due to improper maintenance. This course has a great, yet challenging layout with nice fairways. However, the greens need a lot of work.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the poor condition of the greens. We will take your comments into consideration and make the necessary improvements to provide a better golfing experience.
Great layout
Very nice course, but some t boxes were being redone and most of the greens are in pretty bad shape and all are very slow. Also some bunkers have weeds growing.
Still enjoyed playing it but could be in a lot better condition
New proper maintenance
The greens were very patchy with sand and growth. They had 2 holes where the flag was placed in the fairway due to the greens being in bad shape. The water coolers were low on water and they didn't have a cart person riding around to help with liquids in the 100+ heat. This course was once very nice but now is a complete joke for the money they want. I go to Berwicks course which is very maintained and always friendly.
We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your visit to our course. We appreciate your feedback and will take your comments into consideration to improve our greens, water cooler availability, and overall experience. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Greens and tee boxes
Greens and tee boxes are in horrible condition probably the worst I’ve every seen on any golf course and they charge full price
And don’t warn you
We apologize for the poor condition of the greens and tee boxes during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will work on improving the course maintenance. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

Poor Greens and T-Boxes
The course is amazing. I drove in from Lafayette to see and play. I was very disappointed in the condition of the greens and T-boxes. They are in really bad shape. For a course with so much potential, they need a great deal of TLC. Beautifull course though.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the condition of the greens and T-boxes. We apologize for any disappointment caused and will take your concerns into consideration to ensure that we provide a better experience for our valued guests. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Not ok
Staff was awesome. Restaurant was awesome. Pro shop was nice.
Course…not so much!!
Most tee boxes honestly looked like they had weed killer poured on them.
Greens were horrendous. Terrible!! Not one was even 80% “good”!!
Layout of course was very nice, almost like a wildlife tour!
I was perfectly fine paying $60 green fee until I got to first hole!! Definitely not worth that and won’t be until they put some money into those greens.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your kind words about our staff, restaurant, and pro shop. We apologize for the condition of the tee boxes and greens. We will make sure to address these issues and strive to improve the overall experience for our customers.
Really disappointed
Morning started great with very friendly helpful checkin but it was all downhill after that…
First tee box, and several more looked like they had been treated with grass killer, no joke.
Greens were absolutely horrendous. Not one out of 18 was in even “good” shape!
Course layout and scenic quality is awesome!! But course condition was horrible.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for the poor course conditions you experienced, and we appreciate your feedback. We will work on improving the tee boxes and greens to ensure a better experience for our guests in the future. Thank you again for your review.
