Nice course, challenging conditions
This is a nice layout, well bunkered, water hazards attractive routing. It appears to be a high-quality course that has not been kept up recently. I did of course play it while the grass was dormant so I have no complaints about that but the fairways were completely free of live grass. Most of the greens were nice although some of them were died out and very spotty. The courses not as well-kept as the layout would promise. I hope they are able to put more money and maintenance in the course because the layout certainly deserves it.
Atchafalaya
I love this course but the fairways have never been aerated so most fairways are like hard pan. Sometimes you have a better lie in the rough. They are working on the bunkers finally which is good. I'll be back as I live close but they need to put some money into the course to get it nice again.

Coming back strong
The course is starting to look like the Atchafalaya of old. The hard work is duly noted. The front nine bunkers have been relieved of the weeds and real sand is being installed. There were a few holes on the back nine where the landscaping crew was actively working. It's great to see the work that is being put in to get the course back to a 5-star course. The layout is great and provides golfers of all levels a challenge. The green fees come with complimentary range balls. The pace of play is excellent. I played 18 holes in 3 hours. I would recommend this course. Expect it to be back to 5-star by the spring.

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 course
Even with all the rain we have been having the course was still great. The layout is tough, yet very fun. Its just an overall great course and i would recommend it.
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
Hi, Ben! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is very important to us. Please know the current conditions are by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We will continue to work towards a 5-star experience and we hope to see you back!
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.
