Great Course, and GolfNow's Discount Made it Perfect!

Santa Maria is a great course to play and offers intermediate players a quality round of golf with bearable difficulties to overcome while trying to improve their game. The greens are very well maintained on all 18 holes and hitting the fairways is a must because missing them ever so slightly makes finding the ball frustrating where it hides just below the fluffy grass bordering the fairways. Great experience!

Nicest course in BR

Baton Rouge’s finest golf course. On the more difficult side, but a lovely course. If you can shoot under 90 other places, you’ll enjoy it.

Lots of water and big, beautiful homes

The.media states that this is one of the best munis in the country and I agree - no hyperbole in that. Very nice track - relatively flat and wide fairways - bunkers and water provide the challenge - large greens run true so lone it up and go for the cup. The course was in good condition on this day. The surrounding houses are an attractive "distraction" - and there is a train track running alongside the course - kinda' cool to be hitting an approach shot and have a train going by behind it - then you drive through a tunnel under the tracks to get to the next tee. The staff are attentive and friendly. I'll be back.

Course is in great shape. Weather was good and since we’ve been going through a dry spell in the weather, course played nice. Pace of play was great (a little over 3 hours) due to not being crowded on a Thursday afternoon.

Pro shop folks and concession stand workers were friendly and helpful.

Also like the new range tees.

OMG what is up with slow play

Numerous 4 somes on hottest day of the year causing 4 hours for round of golf. Horrible pace of play, Also with all the rain the fairways were sloppy so cart path only is painful on this course. Greens had been aerated and were slow.

Santa Maria is in Excellent Shape!

Santa Maria golf course is in the best shape I have seen it in since moving to Baton Rouge twenty five years ago. From the tee boxes to the sand traps to the greens I would rate each in excellent condition. The layout is challenging yet fair. The staff is always friendly and accommodating.
