Santa Maria Golf Club

tee'd off just past noon and the pace of play was perfect unlike other times where pace of play is usually slow

Would've loved to have known that the greens were recently aerated. That being said, it didn't affect putting to much. Couple of soggy spots here and there. Biggest complaint was the youngster at the counter talking to me like I didn't have a tee time. Finally, someone else showed him where it was.. The marshal's were VERY professional. Typically a problem for these BREC courses. They get high and mighty and start talking down to patrons, and dont understand that the public funds these courses.

Other than that, I had a very pleasant experience.

I enjoy this course every time I playit

worst pace ever. had to wait 10 minutes on each hole

It was my 1st time playing the course. Tee time was 10 minutes apart therefore we had to wait 10 minutes at every hole. Needlesstosay, we ran out out of day light along with the other 4 tee time groups. I understand the course wants to make money but the players need to enjoy their rounds for what they paid for. I thought the course could have managed how they allow groups to tee it up better to prevent the delay and frustration I experienced. My son quit playing all together after hole #10.

I wasn't going to write a review but since its been a over a year since the last I figured why not. The course is in the best shape ive seen it in the past couple years. Greens need some work but its coming out of winter so they should be fine by now. They were punched a few days before we played so as good as they possibly could have been. like the driving range. I would consider it one of the nicest in the baton rouge area. None are better within 25 miles. Spring time golf should be fun. With all the rain we have gotten lately course should be in great shape in the coming weeks. I will be playing this course along with Pelican Point in Gonzales. In the baton rouge area those are the top 2 courses. Everybody should enjoy their round.

This is the course to which all local courses are compared. For a municipal course, the quality is unrivaled. The greens are well manicured and true. The landscape alone is worth the greens fee. The staff, for the most part, is always very friendly. From the guys in the pro shop, to the Marshall - Mr. Les (whose generous advice saved me a few strokes that day), their love for the game is evident. I must have caught the snack bar attendant on a bad day, so I'll give her a mulligan.(Smile, darlin', it goes a long way) Whenever I'm asked by one of my many out-of-town guests, I always recommend this course and will continue to call it my favorite.

First time I played out here in several years and the course seems to be slipping quite a bit. It used to be very well maintained and was one of the nicer courses BREC has to offer.

Now, the service is mediocre, at best, and the course itself is in need of some care (lots of dead areas, especially in the fairways, even though its not cold enough for that yet). The guy I played with was in from out of town and had to rent clubs - the set they gave him wasn't even complete. No putter and no iron under a 6, only a couple of poor excuses for a hybrid (he didn't think to check until we were underway and needed a 5 iron). Upon our return to the clubhouse, we communicated this to the guy behind the counter. His response was something along the lines of, "Oh well, it could've been worse. It's not really that big a deal. Maybe you should bring your own clubs next time." Wow.

On top of it all, our cart was dysfunctional throughout the round and barely got us back (though admittedly, that could've just been bad luck). We could have returned it, of course, but that would've meant interrupting the round and screwing up the flow of the golfers behind us. Overall we left very unimpressed and disappointed in what used to be a pretty nice course. It's much more comparable to Webb and City Park now than it is to Beaver Creek and Copper Mill. A shame.

My son and I havent played in awhile. We chose the right place to get together again. Great course in good shape, staff was friendly. Will be back for sure. We had a wonderful time.

Course was 90 degree because they had seeded fairways which will be great for later.....same for tee boxes.....didn't create any issues...property was well maintained, including club house and bathrooms......staff friendly ....will be back

Overall, was a nice course, the greens were fast that day, but ran true. Nice golf course.

very good range ! Nice practice green and approach range.

With the heavy rains the previous two days, the course drained well and the greens were true. Fairways in great shape and I liked the new flags for visibility.

My son and I played this course in September and it was in very good shape. Challenging course with lots of water and places to get in trouble, but fair to the average golfer. The greens were about medium speed and consistent. Overall we would recommend this course.

Got the course for just 20 bucks. However it was in the pouring rain. The first 8 holes I was fighting a storm. But after it was done the next 10 holes were wide open with no one on the course. The best part was I shot my greatest round.

Course is maintained, and in excellent shape. Greens are in great shape. Balls rolling real good on the green.

Great value for the money. Course is challenging, but very playable for all levels.

I come to Baton Rouge on business once a month, and always make it over to Santa Maria. Immaculate greens (but slick & fast), wide fairways, and just a beautiful track.

Love playing this course for the value and course is in great shape.

The course was in very good shape. Even though the greens were not super fast they were in excellent condition. Even from the blue tee boxes the course played very fair and challenging for us. We thouroughly enjoyed the day and will be back.
