Thirsty Course!! Too Expensive for conditions

Course needs H2O desperately!!! For $54 you’d expect better. $30ish is more appropriate green fee cost for a course in this shape. A handful of greens are in great condition, majority have problem spots with sand. The best comparison for the tee boxes is a concrete-like dirt. Will need a 5/64 drill bit with you to get a normal tee in. I tried to help out and pour some waters out on the tee boxes when I could. Fairways mostly very dry except in a few random spots on a couple holes…

One pro amongst the litany of cons is they have a bev cart woman that comes around. Very nice amenity but still very bad and extremely dry conditions. I know our area has been record heat and no rain, but you got to lower the green fees or turn on the sprinklers…. Also the pro shop guy was nice. I booked on golf now and he told me it paired me with 3 women (I was a single) and that I could play solo if I wished - which I did. I enjoyed the experience alone but often was waiting on them ahead of me. Near hole 7 or 8 is when it all backed up. 2 groups ahead of the ladies were large groups scrambling and playing at a very slow pace. By 12 or 13 it was a 3 group wait at the tee boxes, and on 15 there was a group on the green, group on the fairway, ladies on the tees, me behind them, and a group behind me. I was tired of waiting around so I decided to just leave at this point…. Unless I’m pretty desperate or my friends want to play there, I likely won’t be back. Would recommend paying 15-20$ more and going to stone bridge. Or just go hit some balls at the driving range.

Great Times on a Great Course!

Course is in overall very good condition. Greens are fantastic and in excellent shape especially considering all the heat. Layout is very challenging and you get to use almost every club in the bag during the round. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. One of the best bangs for your buck in the Shreveport / Bossier community. Highly recommend!

Not a bad course at all

I got a tee time on a hot deal and this course was well worth the price. The verying hole layout was exceptional! The layout really has a little bit of everything! The fairways aren't in the best shape but most of the tee boxes and greens look pretty good considering the weather. The staff is nice and you see the beverage cart several times per round.

Judging from past reviews, it seems as if this course was in bad shape previously. Being that this is my first time, I do not have a comparison- however, I'd play this course again.

Great Layout, Great Staff, Great Time!

Took a friend for a golf outing and we both were exceptionally pleased with the course conditions and the challenge of the course. We both played terrible but will be back soon to exact our revenge! All staff were exceptionally friendly and very accommodating. We have played this course off and on over for many years and I havent seen it in this good of shape in a long time. I highly recommend giving this course a run…it has a lot to offer right now. (STH - DC)

The best I’ve seen ever seen it

The course superintendent John Schurman has done a great job getting his course back on track. They’ve had to resod some greens on the front that are still coming in but overall the greens are great especially the back nine

Some of the tea boxes need to be reworked and resodded. if they would use the fairway sprinklers more, the fairways would sure be better than they are but overall course looks great.!

Not Bad

Front 9 and back 9 are a lot different. Front 9 was not as nice as the back. If the entire course was as good as the back 9 then it would be worth the money. Pace of play was good, staff was friendly. I would go back, but not if I was paying $50 per round. Course shape was more like $25-$35. Luckily I used a hot deal on this app.

Tough Shape

I've been to this course dozens of times and used to live a mile down the road. I played here with my friend on a weekend and decided I would not come back to this course without it being on a hot deal. My friend lives near the course and has his own golf cart but gets charged full price instead of greens fee. I can understand that but this course is not in a shape where they can be charging more. It is my understanding that the greenskeeper was in a disagreement with someone and they came and destroyed the greens.

There are portions where large chunks half an inch deep are missing out of the green. It's really a disservice to those who are coming out to play. There are not really other options in this city so I will play this on hot deals only.

I hope the greens can be repaired soon.

Improving

I have played this course many times over the years, including several times in the last year. Every time I am aware of improvements to the course. The most notable is the improvements to the landing area on hole number 11. No longer is it a marsh pit. In addition, the greens, which had been vandalized, are getting much better. I will be playing here again soon.

Northwood hills

My first time playing this course and enjoyed it immensely. The staff was great and enjoyed the Sunday buffet before my round and cocktails in the bar afterwards. Grass is still coming in on the greens but where still in better condition than courses that I’ve played on this year. I’m from North East Texas and my son is in Ruston so this is a perfect spot for us to meet up and get a round in. Hopefully I’ll do better next time since I’ve played it now and will be more familiar with the layout.

Northwood GC

Scenic layout with penal ob areas. You can use every club in your bag and driver can be used tons! Shreveport doesn’t have many public courses to choose from and this would rank medium to high among those available. On Golf Now hot deals $27.99 green fee with cart is as good a deal you’re gonna find around here….
