The course was fine. It was a mud puddle, but that's nobody's fault. The staff is the reason why we will not play this course again on our next Lake Charles trip. The pro was in his office being a jerk to his employees right in front of us. Which they say happens frequently. It took 30 minutes to get a hot dog at the turn (it was really good by the way). We made it to the 13th hole before we got so sick of the course members driving through the hole we were playing that we just left. Don't pay full price, get the Golf Now Hot Deal.

We have had the same problem the last three times that we've played Avery Ranch. The marshals don't seem to make their rounds very often and players get stacked up behind a slow group. We had 4 groups on the same Par 3 last time I played. We had to call to the pro-shop for the marshal but never saw him/her. The course condition is awesome. It's always a great, but challenging, course to play. The staff is really friendly though. I just wish that there was more effort in on-course management.

All of the greens were in terrible condition. We probably will not go back. And for sure will not pay $30 for a round.

The cart path was the worst thing about this course. Its mostly dirt, but very rough and rocky. They should have given us 4wheelers. Greens were shotty on some holes. Staff was great though, nice fairways and 2nd cut.
