Not worth it

Goat Ranch. Terrible greens. Poana, stickers, crabgrass on the greens. Whole course is infested in stickers, clover, poana, and clover. Not well maintained. Grass growing over cart paths. The school should put some TLC in it and they could have a nice course.

Unplayable

Played LSU many times over the years.

Sad to see the neglect and lack of funding to keep the course up.

In its current state, it is unplayable because the greens are beyond bad shape - clumps of grass, sand, dirt piles, sods of grass thrown out in random pattern…... Really “unputtable”.

And for any avid golfer, best to go anywhere else because these are the worst greens you’ll ever see.

If you are considering this place...DONT!!!

This is without a doubt the worst course I have ever played. You could not even putt on the greens they were so bad. I paid $36 per player for 2 players prior to seeing the course. I wouldn't play here ever again even if it was free. Its that bad! I gave it a 1 star rating only because ZERO stars was not an option.

Course Condition

The course really isn’t taken care of and the greens are in horrible shape. However, if you have you kids, it is a great course to let your kids get some experience without all the pressure of trying to keep pace with other golfers. My kids really enjoyed it, but not good for the avid golfer at all.

Getting better

I have been at LSU for the last 2 years and the amount this course has improved is promising. When campus was closed due to COVID, so was the course. It sat for nearly six months with no upkeep and was quite over grown when it opened back up. With primarily student workers and no help from the University, the course conditions are steadily improving. The tee boxes have been great every time I’ve played them recently, the fairways are continuing to improve with consistent mowing, and greens are shaping up to be decent once the winter grass dies out. I used to lose about 3 balls a round off drives in the rough and recently have had much better luck with the lower cut. I am excited to see how this course turns out once the grass starts growing again.

Good layout, terrible greens

This was my first time playing the course. Course itself is in decent condition, it’s dormant and fairways are pretty firm. Bunkers had decent sand and were in good condition. The greens are probably the worst I e ever played on. So bumpy and patches of sand like mini-bunkers all over. Could be a really nice course if the greens are fixed.

This should be in better condition

I thought with this course being at a major university it should have been maintained more than it was.

Awful Course

Absolute worse greens you will find in Baton Rouge. They have sand holes and divots all over the greens. Almost impossible to putt. As far as the rest of the course goes, it’s very mid. Roughs are bad and fairways are fine. I would go to Webb or City Park over this course any day. LSU is ridiculous for charging as much as they do with the condition of their course the way it is especially with neighboring golf courses charging the same price and taking wayy better care of their course.

Pretty good course. Couple short par 4’s on the cusp of drivable greens. Improved their greens from last time I played no more patches of grass (it was like playing plinko last time) now its smooth, but pretty slow.

LSU Golf Course

For something on LSUs campus, I would expect more. I lost so many balls just because the grass was cut weird and I couldn’t find my ball, and it’s a bright purple ball. Lots of water features and trees. Overall an easier course. But I don’t think I’ll play here again.

COURSE Sucks

Terrible course from Tee to green. Obvious lack of proper maintenance, poor signage, and unfriendly staff. On a hot 90°+ day, they offer no ice. The range is just a cow pasture. Only play this course if you're a gluten for punishment.
