Baton Rouge's Best

The course is in excellent shape and usually is year round. It is challenging for all levels of play, yet forgiving at the same time. The greens are great, will hold your ball and roll very well. The only thing I would change is the speed of the greens. If you are looking for a fun course with incredible scenery, you will not be disappointed with Santa Maria. I try to play about once a week and would play the course everyday if I could. Only negative is that beverage cart is not being used.

Great Afternoon Round at Santa Maria

The weather was awesome and the course was in great shape. Not many people out, so I was able to play at my own pace. They have recenlty added another set of tees between the white tees and the ladies tees for those that need them. The greens rolled true as ever and I can't wait to get back out there.

Excellent muni - love to play it.

The front nine is much harder than the back nine. There are several water features that promise to drown any price range of golf ball.

Well maintained, challenging course.

Great course for a great price. Fairways are always plush and the greens are always smooth and fast. The course design is challenging, but not impossible. I'm proud to call it my home course.

Fun, quality course for a great price

I played on a weekday for $25 with a cart, a great value for a great public course of this caliber. The course offers a good layout, with a variety of challenging, but fair holes. With a little more focus on course maintenance, Santa Maria would easily compete with the premier courses in the Baton Rouge area. Even with the current conditions, I rate the course in my top 5 for the courses near Baton Rouge, behind University Club (Baton Rouge), Baton Rouge Country Club, Country Club of Louisiana (Baton Rouge), and Copper Mill (Zachary). The top three courses in this list are private courses, so in my book, Santa Maria is the best public course in Baton Rouge. You will not be disappointed with booking a tee time at Santa Maria using GolfNow.com.
