Coming Around

The clubhouse has been moved across the street from the parking and carts, which mostly annoying only because the original club house was a lot nicer. Including the bathroom and showers.

The course was in pretty good shape for January. The cart path is beat up, and a few the holes are not what they were intended to be. But, on the hole it's worth the drive and money...currently.

Typical Winter Golf

Course was pretty brown but all greens still rolled well and true. Holes 2-4 still struggling with recovery and holding water but man my only overall complaint is that it's not closer lol. Definetly will go back.

It's gone to hades

3 years ago this was a beautiful course. Now, I wouldn't recommend this course to an enemy. Fairways haven't been cut in probably a month, greens are either shaggy or freshly cut, and bunkers are destroyed. The owners should be ashamed of what they've allowed to happen to this course and if there was any way to get my money back I would've done it.

The only thing that will save this course is new ownership. I've never played a course in this bad of shape in my life.

Great layout, needs some TLC

I played this course for the first time today and it’s obvious that it was once a gem. The bunkers are bare, the cart paths are really bad and the fairways need to be cut. Greens were just okay.

Bluffs review

One of my favorite 3 courses I’ve ever played, but it could use some added sand in the bunkers or even just some raking, and too many weeds around the ponds. Overall love the course besides those.

Course improving

The course has come a long way in the past 6 months. The greens are starting to take shape and are actually green again. Hope they can keep it up because I love the layout of this course.

Incredible

Such an amazing layout... great holes, fun to play... fairways ok, greens ok, but the course has stopped taking care of the sand traps and cart paths. Erosion has taken its toll. Would I play here again? Absolutely. Would I like to have played this course in its prime? Oh yes.

No bev carrt girls or restaurant encouragement

Great potential. Great layout. HARD fairways. No ability to spin ball. Greens hard. No ability to leave divots on greens. Tough because of narrow greens and fairways but really poor tee boxes in some spots and fairways and greens could use some water

Everything looks like it is being spruced up. New grill opened, pools look great, club house looks newly pained and cleaned up. Course was in improved shape. Played course a few months ago and course is in really good shape now.

Great course, great value

After reading that the course was returning to its former glory, we decided to give it a try - WE WERE NOT DISSAPPOINTED!! The course is in excellent shape and far exceeded my expectations. In my opinion, this may be the best golf value in South Louisiana right now!
