FAIR CIURSE

Course is fair when in decent shape. At present the greens are in bad shape thus hampering play.

It’s a Municipal Course

Should have known. People working here that have no idea what they are doing. “Marshall” pulls up to you in the fairway and pulls off right in your backswing. Yeah, gas carts to boot. We started 35 min after our tee time. A single, a threesome, and another single. No attempt to pair them up. Conditions on the greens were not much more than painted sand. All in all, terrible.

Course used to be the best deal in town. The problem is that the greens are terrible now and getting worse. It’s ashamed because it’s a great place to play. But it’s hard to go to a place with such bad greens. I hope they can figure it out but I don’t see it happening yet.

Greens are made for sun tan lotion

These greens are the worse in the State if Louisiana and it's not even close. Don't waste your money here my friends. The greens have large dead spots and piles of sand everywhere. It's terrible!
