Carter Plantation

Have played all over southeast Louisiana, both private and public. I would rate this as my top course. It was perfectly maintained, fairways and greens were perfect, rough was the proper length and mowed evenly. For $60 you cannot beat it

With very little rain lately, this course was excellent. Staff was great and course was easy to navigate. Greens were true and rolled well. May make this my home course.

The course was in great shape. Fairways were in good condition, bunkers were raked - playable (this is rarely the case with most area courses). The greens ran a bit faster than most I've played around south LA. Lots of hard slopes away from greens and fairways into O.B. or dense hazards, which made it pretty challenging.

The only disappointing thing was that there were no pin sheets / location or any type of hole numbers / markers. Seems for a nicer course that there would be more way-finding measures.

I was fortunate to join a couple of regular players my first time on the course. The greens had been aerated the week before, so were not a fast as normal. Even so, they ran true. The course layout is challenging, but fair. A beautiful course I hope to play again.

Elevated greens are well protected by bunkers and water hazards. Fairway bunkers come in to play for the average length player off the tee. Greens and fairways are in great shape.

Always in great shape and a great value! We never mind making the 40 mile drive when we have time to play this amazing course!

Greens were of average care.
Bunkers are horrible. Standing water in most that I either played or saw. The ones where the water drained, were as hard and packed as concrete.
The cart service was poor and ended as we made the turn.
Played on 4th of July weekend and the beverage and food center at the turn was closed. Unacceptable considering the weekend that we were there.

Course was very scenic. The only problem I had was the greens, but they were being worked on. I'm sure in two weeks, the greens will be rolling fine. David Toms designed this course well.

Great value for the price. Free range balls to warm up with huge pitching and putting practice areas. Lots of variety - short and long par 3's, reachable par 5's, and tricky plays over water and sand.

Great clubhouse and amenities! Course is georgeous.

Good course layout and some challenging holes. Course conditions were average on the day we played.

The staff was friendly and the pro shop/facilities are very nice. The course conditions were disappointing for how much it costs to play, however. The greens were not rolling well and I saw several 'grassless' sections around the edges. We began our round playing the ball 'down' but the fairways made that nearly impossible. There are many pretty views on the course, but it needs work. I was hoping for more from David Toms' signature course.

This was my second trip to Carter. I again enjoyed my round.

Played Carter Plantation on March 1, 2013.
Course was still soggy from all the recent rain, and we were kept to cart paths only. Contributed to some slow play. The course played longer than the one other timed I had played it, obviuosly. Was also very windy, which did not help. Staff in the pro shop was very friendly, Beverage cart girl was great, and timely. Starter was super friendly. Greens were in really nice shape, for the most part. Considering the time of year, the fairways were fairly green, and in good shape, although every shot plugged, and we got no roll at all- all day. A few more days of sunshine, and it will be a whole different story. Should be perfect by then!

Really enjoyed playing this course. Good layout and great conditions even though the course had received a lot of water and was soaked.

We love playing the course, however the course was almost unplayable this time due to wet conditions. Had we known the course was this wet we would have cancelled.

I see they're working on the irrigation system but it should be made known at the golf shop. Giving the time of year the course is in fair shape. The practice facilities are great. If you're not in the fairway you're probably in a tree root and dirt area. Just not the best bang for your buck if you plan on driving out of your way to play.

Despite 22 inches of rain the week before, the course, while wet in spots was in great shape and the greens were true and fast. Great range, and short game warm up area. Great design with solid holes, including a good mix of solid par 5's and short par 4's.

The golf course was in great condition for this time of the year. Nice views and beautiful holes. The pace of play was slow however.

cource was in great shape, greens where lighting, staff did anything you wanted are needed, I'll will play there again using Golfnow.com.
