Coming back strong

Course is improving. Bunkers are coming back and greens are still in great shape. Forget how nice a layout it is with plenty of risk reward as well as challenging holes. Great test of golf.

Could be a great course!

Restaurant - great

Service - great

Pro shop - great

The group of 7 that cut in on #11, listening to F______ this, F______that, their music, their sun flower seeds etc. NOT good!

My thoughts, I manage a golf course. Sometimes the truth hurts but helps.

Great layout poor upkeep

I’ve played here dozens of times, but for the past year or so it has been going downhill. The layout and amenities are great; however, the course is not being unkept tge way you would expect a course to be manicured for top dollar green fees. The same greens have been under repair for a while, the tee boxes are average at best(level but most are very sandy). Bunkers, ha, they have not been playable (they are a hazard) since 2019 hurricane season.

Fairways are very nice

Course used to be my favorite in the area, but from now on it will be my 3rd or 4th choice. I’m from Houma there are only 3-4 in the area

Saturday golf trip

Lots of bunkers under repair. Rough spots in some greens. Fairways are good for the most part.

Lots of wildlife on the course.

This is a great coarse, the hills and fairway bunkers make you think you’re playing a tour coarse. I will definitely be returning

Mass improvements

The course has improved the overall conditions of the greens an fairways to an excellent rating. The bunkers are a massive work in progress but they are making great improvements.

= ) / = (

Been hearing that Atchafalaya is going downhill etc

But I love this course and many people do.

Bunkers are being repaired and they are doing their best

Overall I think the course is doing great, could it be better, yes but it’s not bad at all and I play all over.

Fairways were great and so glad their not very firm like they use to be.

Greens in are great, practice facility is great, and the GUMBO is phenomenal

Be patient, have fun, and appreciate this snap shot of Louisiana.
