The course is VERY dried out so drives are rolling a mile! I’m normally a 240-250 yard drive person but I almost drove greens on three holes due to the course conditions. Greens are in really nice shape and rolling faster than they appear. The front nine is essentially played against the wind so club up. The back nine, I was hitting an 8 iron close to 180 yards so adjust accordingly. Fun course...pretty wide open but there are some sneaky canals and water hazards so a layup is not a bad play. $25 for 18 with cart....not bad.

The Bluffs is by far one of my favorite courses near Baton Rouge. The course is always well maintained (aside from some rough spots on the 2nd fairway recently) and is challenging enough to make it interesting. The greens were cut really short which made putting an experience especially on those holes where water is in play. Be careful as too strong of a putt may have your ball end up in the drink. It has a very challenging #9 where you have to choose to go left or right on a split fairway...really fun shot selection where you can go for the green in two from a good drive down the left side of the fairway...otherwise it is a three shot hole. #17 and #18 are some of my favorite finishing holes and I ended up going birdie-birdie to finish the round which made it that much sweeter. We had a golf now hot time for $25/player with cart....you simply cant beat that!
