Course layout is nice and have friendly staff. Seemed really busy but not crazy for a Saturday. Greens are in horrible shape right now. Super dry and sandy with huge patches missing (being repaired) currently. Price is extremely high for the shape of the greens. Hopefully it's helping with repair costs 🙃

Probably won't play here again until late fall to give time for the greens to settle.

Best course, pound for pound in Nola area. This is my home course. Catch great deals on here too. They are fixing the greens right now where grass didn’t grow, but it’s still very playable

Greens were in bad shape and majority of the greens had tire marks from people driving on them. Also cart girl is super nice but I would like to see some twisted teas being sold from her. I would come back more often if they had twisted teas and I know other golfers drink them too.

Doublecharge

I paid for a 5pm tee time for 3 players on Thursday. The entire fee was paid for ahead of time through an online CC transaction via GOLFNOW. I wasn’t able to make it, but my two other friends showed up to play the round and were deceived into paying for the same exact tee time estimate for 3 golfers again in person. Hopefully a proper refund will be administered.

Greens of sand

Greens are rough and need some attention. Pace of play was bad due to large group of young players. Other than that course wasn’t bad but not great.
