The Atchafalaya at Idlewild

It’s one of the best “public” courses in the area by far. Although, half of the greens seemed to be under repair. The carts do not have the monitors telling you information about the holes anymore, and neither do they have the pin placement notification posted anywhere. The carts were also in need of serious repair. I’ll give the course another go again in about a month, though.

Fun, interesting and challenging layout but definitely need to turn on the sprinkler system. Fairways brown and dry but still had grass. Greens spongy and difficult to hold line and gauge speed. Like putting on a trampoline, need to be aerated. Best thing about the place now is the restaurant and people there.

I love this course but I only have a few problems. It was in great condition but the tee boxes on some holes were like hitting out of a bunker. non the less I love this course and I would recommend anyone to play it.

Fairways and greens are in great shape. Greens are a little slow but roll true and hold shots into the greens. Restaurant is always top notch with service and with accommodations at the turn, I recommend the beef sirloin salad. One of my favorite courses to play in south Louisiana!

Everything good including the course layout except the condition. Fairways dry and brown but still had grass. Greens average but the layout was fun. They just need to turn on their sprinkler system.

The sand traps are much improved. Fairways are nice. Greens are a little burnt on the front in places and very slow. I am sure it’s tough to cut them with the little rain of late though. Frustratingly slow foursome we caught on the 3rd, they didn’t let us through until the 7th. Other than that, good day.

This course could and should be so much more than what it is. It has so much potential it’s almost disgusting to even think that from a year ago the fairways had huge aerification holes with no sand in them. Now the fairways look like they were in great shape but they were brown from not being watered since last time it rained. most of the greens were burnt on the top of the ridges. Some of the tee boxes had so much sand I couldn’t even keep a tee in it. The GPS was the best thing they had going for them and were taken off the carts. Just wish someone could actually take this place to what it should be.

Until then I can’t see myself playing here ever again.

Course is in great condition…played 18 holes with a friend..we got a great deal and had fun

This course is well maintained. Scenic and beautiful. The course was not crowded even on a holiday weekend. We didn't try to restaurant, but it was busy at lunchtime and smelled delicious. Greens are nice and big enough to shoot for. The course is set up to score, but only with proper shot placement. I plan on playing this course many more times.

My only minor things I would have liked to see. 1) On course beverage cart. on a holiday weekend,,,,, not sure why not 2). A Marshall or starter.

Overall, loved the course and will be back!!

Always like to play and eat there!! Great place to visit!!
