Good Value
Cool course. A little run down but the greens were an 8/10 and the layout is nice. Several tee boxes to choose from.. Another cool Audubon Golf Trail location.
Trash
Crab grass is growing in the middle of the greens. Yes Crab grass. Charged me 72 bucks to play on Crab grass and trash bunkers. I normally don't write reviews but the course is TRASH right now.
Nice Course
Greens and fairways in good shape. Sand traps in poor shape

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.

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 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
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 course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve.

Thank you for playing The Atchafalaya at Idlewild. We hope to see you again soon.
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.

Course under repair
Course has a lot of repairs being done right now. Most tee boxes and some areas on the course are dug up. Bunkers are not playable. Not worth the price that golf now increased it too. More like a practice course right now.
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.
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.

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.
