Thumbs up
Course was great. The only reason I rated the conditions three stars instead of 5 stars was because there was work going on in many areas where by digging was taking place and the ground was chopped up.
Perfect course no need to play anywhere else
Finally letting grass grow on fairways how wonderful and more enjoyable round now

Beautiful Wooded Scenery Course
Course is Beautiful, Minor construction which is expected. Greens were nice and fast. Only draw back is the driving range litters the 9th hole with balls. Other than that it was awesome and the restaurant was fantastic
Need to finish work on bunkers
Course lost their bunkers last year due to a hurricane that produced a lot of rain. Apparently took time getting funding. They started rebuilding them months ago but it looks like they’ve stopped midway. They’re in horrible shape right now. Also, some of the tee boxes lacked grass. Greens were slow and thick. Course is usually in much better shape. I was disappointed at the lack of progress.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the sand traps is important to us. We are working to get everything at the course up to par. The current condition is not the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing The Atchafalaya at Idlewild. We hope to see you again soon.
Need work
Before covid the course was fairly decent and now it's looking a hot mess. The price they charge now is not worth the money. Sand trap (what is that ) mud all over the place. Carts not in good condition. Long story short it needs some work BAD

Poor conditions
Have not played the course in 8 months. Was excited to see changes that were suppose to be made to improve it. Course should be open not for public play. Course is under construction on many tee boxes and different sections of the course. Sand traps are not even playable. Not sure why the price went up on Golfnow when course is under repair. Customers should be notified on course conditions before asking for a higher price. Not satisfied at all. Will not play course again until construction is complete.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We understand your frustration with the construction projects underway. Please bear with us as we work diligently to make improvements. We hope you'll give us another try in the future. Thanks for choosing The Atchafalaya at Idlewild.
Fairway has very little grass and ground is very hard
Thank you for taking the time to review us, and for the 3 stars. We're sorry to hear the course may not have been in the best shape on the day of your round, and we appreciate your feedback regarding the fairways so we may work on any necessary improvements. Thank you for choosing to golf with us, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Rick's Review
Unfortunately, the front nine was closed for some maintenance
While disappointing, it has be done, right?
The fairways had recently been aerated ... again disappointing, but it has to done
Love the hole layout & the greens are rounding into shape (not quite there, yet)
Good course for levels of golfers
Course work
Front9 were closed due to sanding of the greens I was not aware until I arrived at the course. If I have as aware of this I wouldn’t have played today
Cart path only witch changes pace of play
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at The Atchafalaya at Idlewild!
This layout is great. The traps obviously need more sand
We loved it all We will return Nice design
Challenging but not crazy hard Pick up the driver
and keep the ball in play. FIX the traps soon
Was Fun but could use some work
I brought a couple of golfers, one who had never played this course and another who played it when it 1st opened… I think both had a good time and pace of play was fine.. no waiting.. only complaint I’d say was the conditions of the bunkers.. none were raked, none had rakes and were pretty much unplayable .. I know they have worked on fixing them but I’m not seeing much maintenance to keep them up … fairways could have a little more grass in them but seen where they were recently aerated which is understandable.. hopefully they will let the grass grow especially on pitch shots to the greens using high degree wedges.. the greens were fine, good speed, good shape… all in all it was a good round of golf…

Midweek play
Everything was nice except the sand traps which was under renovations. The fairways were recently airated.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We strive for a 5-star experience, so we welcome your feedback. We work hard to maintain the course for everyone's benefit, which means aerifying the greens as part of our regular maintenance schedule. The greens will be healed soon and in pristine condition. Please come back soon for the 5-star experience you expect at The Atchafalaya at Idlewild.
Love playing at Atchafalaya beautiful scenery peaceful atmosphere
Sand traps need to be finished, fairways need to be cut less, need more grass under golf ball for 3wood shots on fairways, other than that a wonderful course don’t care to play anywhere else.
