The Atchafalaya at Idlewild

The golf course is nice except the greens are deplorable and it expensive to play for what you get

Greens are not good at all. Course should lower green fees until issues with greens get fixed.

I liked the layout of the course. Alot of the bunkers have been turned into grass. The bunkers that were still sand were not well maintained at all. The greens were very bad with alot of bare spots. They were also some weird type of weeds all over every green.

I played here for the first time in 7 years. I paid $45 and could not regret it more. That was the Hot deal even. Every single green is absolute garbage. The rest of the course not so bad. Fairways, tee boxes in decent condition., but the greens are the most atrocious thing I've ever seen on a golf course that wants 50 bucks on a weekday for the regular rate.

THE GREENS ARE CRAB GRASS (50%) You would be better off paying $20 at another public course. This course will probably closed in two years. The ball bounces up and down when you putt.

This course is going to crap. We played two holes and went home. The greens are in the worst shape you ever seen. There are $20 courses that have better greens in them this place. Either shut it down or fix the greens. It was embarrassment. After the day, I decided to join the form, tired of wasting money on courses like this

Paid $50 on golfnow each. Was told there were no one in front of us. Not only there were groups in front, plus several others pass us up to jump in front. Greens Amare the worst I have ever played, completely unplayable . The only good thing I can say that I think the restaurant is nice. Left after 2 holes. Was told could not get refund because it was on golf now. Will reconsider when using golfnow.

This is the 3rd time I've played Atchafalaya and I'll keep visiting it every 6 months or so. A great track with an awesome layout. Only complaint I have is that the greens are a bit challenging with the poor grass condition, bare spots, and what appears to be weed infestation. A couple putts were going great until kicked off track by some weed nubs or dirt lumps. I was still able to break 100, so I'm not gonna complain too loudly, just sharing experience.

Could be a great course with a good layout, but conditions are quite terrible. It may be related to recent weather but I don’t think I will be returning anytime soon

The course is coming around after the hurricane season last year , starting to look great again.

This course has always had one of my favorite layouts to play—challenging yet fair, with a really enjoyable variety of holes. Unfortunately, the conditions have noticeably declined over the past year or two, and it's becoming harder to overlook.

The biggest issue right now is the greens. They're in rough shape—patchy, slow, and inconsistent—which really takes away from the overall experience. It’s disappointing, because this used to be a course known for being well-maintained across the board.

If the greens were brought back to form, this might honestly be the only course I'd want to play. The design is that good. But until then, it's tough to justify coming out as often. Hoping to see it bounce, because it deserves better.

Course is in very good shape evev though some greens still need work. Pace of play was great until we ran into a sixsome on #14. Restaurant food was top notch! All in all, a very enjoyable round.

Good round played but some areas need work. Sand traps are not good and certain greens are still patchy. Must have been grass cutting day. We had tractors all around us.

If you’re looking for a golf course that literally buzzes with excitement, then welcome to nature’s finest ambush: Atchafalaya, where the fairways are lush, the greens are pristine, and the bees are… everywhere.

Let me start by saying: the course is stunning. Lush trees, perfectly trimmed grass, scenic water features — it looks like Augusta had a baby with a National Geographic spread. But then… the bees showed up. Not just a couple. No, this was Bee-topia. A full-on Buzzfeed Live experience. Hole 3? Bee swarm. Hole 7? Bee rave. By hole 12 I was no longer golfing — I was just running from cloud to cloud like a terrified Disney princess without animal control.

At one point I tried to chip onto the green, only to realize it was covered in bees. My buddy asked if I was going for par — I told him I was going for pardon me while I flee for my life.

On the plus side, I now have tremendous cardio and a newfound respect for bees’ interest in Callaway balls.
