It’s Covid-19 time

The course was not in great shape like it normally is but I’m assuming that has a lot to do with a reduced staff

The greens has just been aerated and sanded and we’re extremely fast.

Bunkers are ALL considered ground in repair so they are pretty much a non factor.

Still a fun course to play and I look forward to seeing it back in shape when this is over

Condition of course

I enjoyed my experience as always. The course is very challenging. My only complaint is the bunkers! They are in very bad condition. Get them taken care of and this course will be a five star layout again

Great course.

Only reason for 4 stars on course conditions is because of the bunkers. Greens are great, seemed to be rolling at 10-12 on the stemp. Well worth the price Golfnow.

Slow Decline over the years

I have played this course over the years and to be fair the last time was probably over 6 months ago. I'm a member of a course 35 miles away that closes on Mondays and when I'm off on a Monday I look for a hot deal and try to make it. Over the last 10 years I have seen this course going from a pristine place like the one in the picture to a decaying old course where the traps and bunkers are holes filled with raked dirt. In fact, this last time they were all considered area under repair. I suppose there is a chance that the fairways will improve with the weather but I doubt it. Nevertheless, despite the fact that my club is in better shape I feel that the price of a Hot Deal is enticing enough and like the mouse of Who Moved My Cheese, I can't stop coming back hoping to find it as it was in the past.

Favorite Course!

Kind of adopted Atchafalaya as my home course, even though about 45 min drive. Always in great shape and greens roll fast and true! On the windy side today, but hey if I can wear shorts in early March it’s hard to complain. Use Golf Now app every time to justify making the trip. It’s a must play for golfers in Acadiana and I’ll be going back soon

Late Autumn Here is Perfect for Golf!

There are a lot of beautiful things about The Atchafalaya at Idlewild for anyone who enjoys a real challenging round of golf, but it is especially nice to be there this time of year. Today was a mild to cool afternoon with lots of sunshine and great playing conditions. The greens are smooth and quick and the fairways still have a fair amount of grass to give you a nice lie for your next shot. Good course management is a must when playing this course but the multiple tee boxes available on each hole allows golfers of every skill level to enjoy the championship layout. There are lots of friendly faces to assist you at the cart pickup area and the pro shop. The practice area feature a driving range, as well as chipping and putting greens that really help you prepare for the round ahead. There are a lot of things to enjoy about playing The Atchafalaya... even when the putts may not be falling!
