The Atchafalaya at Idlewild

Course is in very good shape evev though some greens still need work. Pace of play was great until we ran into a sixsome on #14. Restaurant food was top notch! All in all, a very enjoyable round.

Good round played but some areas need work. Sand traps are not good and certain greens are still patchy. Must have been grass cutting day. We had tractors all around us.

If you’re looking for a golf course that literally buzzes with excitement, then welcome to nature’s finest ambush: Atchafalaya, where the fairways are lush, the greens are pristine, and the bees are… everywhere.

Let me start by saying: the course is stunning. Lush trees, perfectly trimmed grass, scenic water features — it looks like Augusta had a baby with a National Geographic spread. But then… the bees showed up. Not just a couple. No, this was Bee-topia. A full-on Buzzfeed Live experience. Hole 3? Bee swarm. Hole 7? Bee rave. By hole 12 I was no longer golfing — I was just running from cloud to cloud like a terrified Disney princess without animal control.

At one point I tried to chip onto the green, only to realize it was covered in bees. My buddy asked if I was going for par — I told him I was going for pardon me while I flee for my life.

On the plus side, I now have tremendous cardio and a newfound respect for bees’ interest in Callaway balls.

Love this course always have. Course on the most part is in good shape but a few of the greens are in needs of repair. A few greens had some dead/sandy areas

Off course amenities was non existent due to some sort of renovation going on. No pro shop as well due to the renovations. With that said, course was in fair shape but greens still need a lot of attention. There is some improvement from the last time I played here though.

Course layout great but greens were patchy and a few had grass eaten away to the dirt and should have been unplayable - staff was friendly! Course was a great layout and enjoyed scenery for my 1st round - would go back if greens are better - bad greens for an hour drive - greens were super slow

Hope by summer greens are better and they still have good deals -

This has to be one of the best layouts in Louisiana!! Could be an absolutely stunning course,packed with players daily but unfortunately there are too many obstacles preventing this course from being a 10☆ course!! Course is owned by the parish but land owned by another company,which has caused the course to fall apart due to conflicts of the needs of the course over a power driven land boss....truly sad! greens need some loving but the layout is 2nd to none... Parish needs to allocate some funds from the campgrounds towards the course and it could be the course it once was.

The course and Staff and restaurant is always awesome

Once was among the finest public courses in the South, it's hard to watch this place fall into ruins. Shame on whoever is responsible for this atrocity! #2 and #5 greens have been beyond repair for a few years, #13 green has joined the fray, and a few others are primed for the same reality. Seems as though the band-aids aren't working, may be try something different to save this once beautiful retreat in the middle of the swamp.

Felt like mixing it up from the courses in New Orleans, so decided to take a short adventure here and it was well worth the trip! The course is in decent condition, with a different and challenging course layout from what I’m used to. Enjoyed the amenities and the challenge of the course, as well as the frozen margarita at the club’s restaurant at the turn!

Good outing. A few greens still under repair in spots.

Course is in better shape than last time we played here. Greens are looking much better, pace of play iwas great. Cold beer and great food at restaurant.

Play it

The course was in great shape except for 1 green but they are getting it right the club personnel are really friendly and the restaurant is always good food but can be a little slow getting your drinks at the turn usually because they are very busy hopefully they will get the drink cart back out soon

Greens are still in need of attention and you shouldn't allow "6 ball" groups on the course. Really slows things down.

The course was in the worst condition i have ever seen it. I have been playing there for the past 5 years.

Enjoyed a day of golf. Course was in great condition besides a few spots on the about 4 greens that seem to be going back in. Staff were extremely helpful and restaurant staff and food were great.

Second time playing, both times have been awesome. Some greens need some love and are like putting on an alligator's back, but most are quite nice. Love the rolling layout of the course. Definitely will be going back.
