The course layout impresses with great views, well-maintained fairways, and strong drainage that keeps the course playable after rain. Exceptionally friendly staff and solid value for money make this a course worth returning to.

They couldn't care less

The pro shop staff looked like they were teenagers and certainly acted like it.

Golf course was wet in front of nearly every green. Truck tire marks especially around the greens

Greens might have been aerated recently but likely just top dressed with sand. Regardless, greens were bumpy and SLOW

Overall rating: Very disappointing

Condition

The course has great features and is a good layout but the condition of the greens was poor. A number of the greens were covered with what we call crow's foot. A foreign grass common to the south.

We were treated very well and appreciated the frozen towels and the cart girl.

Nice course

Very nice course big fairways greens are good size the only problem with them was they had just been punched and sanded. The day we played it had been raining most of the week and the morning we played so the course was really wet and would stop the ball as soon as it hit the ground no run out so it made a long course really long. other then that the course is laid out and marked well. The rate of play was good never had anyone waiting on us and we never caught up with anyone in front of us.

One more time

After playing at this course, I can not wait to play it again. This is one of my favorites in the area. Staff members are friendly and very helpful. The course was in great condition. It fairways are wide and greens are large, very easy to get up and down, very nice place to build your game.

Lake Charles best deal

We played a day after pretty heavy rain. Carts on path on first hole only, and it really was only wet in a couple of spots. The course is very pretty, with plenty of water as is typical in southwest LA. The carts have sophisticated GPS that shuts you down in no travel areas, gives yardages and hazards, even flyover views. The course seems to play long from the white tees. We typically drive 240-260 and a lot of approaches on par 4s were 190-210. The only negatives were the sand traps which were very wet and hard packed with gravel to some degree in most. The ball washers were in bad shape and several need to be replaced. Other than that, it was five stars all around. Great greens and nice fairways.
