Fun time
Achafalaya is a great place to play and always fun, you can see they are putting in work to update the course and they recently updated the golf carts. Very nice an we will be back
Everything great except the greens
Beautiful layout. Good fairways. Real rough. Fantastic clubhouse and restaurant.
Negatives: Greens were bad. Super spongy. Super slow and most greens have lost at least 30% of surface area due to disease or fungus. If they get that cleared up, the value was fantastic.
Greens need some help
Fairways and most tee boxes were in great shape! Wildlife was out and about. The greens were in pretty bad shape. Lots of dead grass and sprouts of other grasses making them very bumpy and slow. The greens on 16-18 were the best on the course.
Good Day to Play
I had a great day playing, I hit them straight and long that day.
Great layout, Poor Greens
Play here very often. Love the course layout. Very challenging. Conditions of fairways are awesome. Greens have been plugged and sanded which makes them worst than normal, and there normal green conditions are not good at all most of the time. Tee boxes are not the greatest either. I would actually become a member if they would re-surface the greens and tee boxes.
This is by far my favorite course in South Louisiana! I hope they are successful in improving the greens in the near future. Seversl of them seem are in distress.
Green's
The course is in good shape always enjoyed playing here but there are some greens that has some bad spots. But I'm sure the club is addressing this problem and will soon have them back in great shape.

Bad Greens and Tee Boxes
The Greens and Tee Boxes need to be worked on badly.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to review us. We're sorry to hear the course may not have been in the best shape on the day of your round. We appreciate your feedback as we work to make any necessary improvements. Thank you for choosing to golf with us, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Great round
Totally enjoyed the round of golf today. Pro shop staff was fantastic and very professional. Always a pleasure to check in. Course was in great condition. Only drawback was trying to get service in the Restaurant. Several times had issues with getting a server to take our order. When we did order it took 40 minutes to receive our food. But Food was great. All in all besides the restaurant service it was a pleasant experience.
Overall good, greens could be better!
The course is generally in good condition. Some of the tee boxes are in poor condition and some of the greens have dead spots while others are immaculate.
Fairways and bunkers are in good condition. Staff is friendly as always, carts are always clean.
Great Course
First time playing this course, one of the best in the area. The eagle tee boxes were a little sandy on a few holes, greens & fairways were all in great shape.
Margaritas in the turn were good.
If you look in the woods to the right of each tee box, you'll find my golf balls.
I plan to return :)
Loved it
No complaints here. Course was in great condition, greens were as well but a bit slow for spring. Course layout was okay, a few holes where you’ve got some thinking to do. I love when it’s golf in its purest form, no houses around, just golf and nature.
Great experience
Very professional staff at check in. Course was in great shape. A little issue with staff in restaurant getting drinks and snacks at the Turn but other than that great experience.
Improve of the Greens
The greens were mowed to a point that gave them a very nice faster putting speed from a week ago.
My view the two things that make a great golf course is design an quality greens.
Both of those things are being achieved.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your kind words about our beautiful layout, good fairways, and fantastic clubhouse and restaurant. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the condition of our greens and will take your comments into consideration to improve the overall experience for our guests. Thank you again for your review.
