you get a little bit of everything Photo submitted by John9316679 on 06/19/2013
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
this is the one. you got to go there !!!
this is the one. you got to go there !!!
best
fantastic.
will go back again
Bad bunkers & Greens
Bunkers/traps are unplayable & greens have recently been aerated.
Hi, Grover. Thank you for taking the time to review the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course conditions are extremely important to us. We are currently working to get everything up to par as 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.
Single Guys First Time
Well done, very professional.
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
The best of south Louisiana scenery
Lots of south Louisiana wildlife, landscape and beauty. Awesome clubhouse with a great back porch overlooking the golf course. Unique golf carts with gps. Great selection of tee boxes for any level of players
Good course bad bunkers
Great for the price bunkers need more work . Greens are good and fast , could have been cleaner.
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.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back!
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
Golf
When we played it was damp but the only course in a 70 mile radius u could play good course good lay out fair price
Great day of golf.
Course was in great condition. Sand traps still under repair.
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!
