Worth the Hot Deal

I was stuck in Baton Rouge for a day and just wanted to find a place quick to play around. I found this course on a HD so I jumped on it. Overall it was fine. The greens were slow and very inconsistent. The ground all over the course was rock-hard and made the short game a nightmare! The good news was I got a ton of roll-out off the tee. The rough was like concrete with fur. The grad was thick and dry and the surface was so hard the the club bounced on every shot. The fairways were not much better very hard and difficult to achieve good contact. Again, for a HD it was well worth it and I played with a couple guys who were regulars and they said it was not usually like this. So, all things considered I would come back again. Some very well placed hazards and some really pretty holes made it a challenging but enjoyable round. The final hole I got suckered in to trying to take it over the water… very tough and I ticking shot… I lost more than one ball on 18!

Nice course

We went right after a rain and not many people playing the course. Course drains well and enjoyed our round.

Only negative, need yardage to be marked better.

Wet but drained well overall.

First time playing the course and really enjoy our round. Although it was cart path only due to all the rain we have had, course was well drained. Looks like a lot of renovations going on throughout the coarse but didn't interfere with our round. Looking forward to playing this course again.

Hot Garbage

Gave this 1 star because 0 wasn’t an option. The two players I went with love this place but I just don’t see it. The layout is okay, but the greens were absolutely terrible. Very dry conditions, ball would not hold green or fairways. This is the second time I’ve ever played this course and twice I’ve felt like it was a waste of money and my time. This place is hot garbage, straight jankass. Will not play here again. If you wanna waste time and money, go spend less and do it at any of the other local BR courses that at minimum are proportionate to the amount of dumpster fire conditions that this place was.

The greens were the worst i've ever seen at Santa Maria. Honestly I think we deserve a rain check because we were notified of the conditions
