The Atchafalaya at Idlewild

Once was among the finest public courses in the South, it's hard to watch this place fall into ruins. Shame on whoever is responsible for this atrocity! #2 and #5 greens have been beyond repair for a few years, #13 green has joined the fray, and a few others are primed for the same reality. Seems as though the band-aids aren't working, may be try something different to save this once beautiful retreat in the middle of the swamp.

Felt like mixing it up from the courses in New Orleans, so decided to take a short adventure here and it was well worth the trip! The course is in decent condition, with a different and challenging course layout from what I’m used to. Enjoyed the amenities and the challenge of the course, as well as the frozen margarita at the club’s restaurant at the turn!

Good outing. A few greens still under repair in spots.

Course is in better shape than last time we played here. Greens are looking much better, pace of play iwas great. Cold beer and great food at restaurant.

Play it

The course was in great shape except for 1 green but they are getting it right the club personnel are really friendly and the restaurant is always good food but can be a little slow getting your drinks at the turn usually because they are very busy hopefully they will get the drink cart back out soon

Greens are still in need of attention and you shouldn't allow "6 ball" groups on the course. Really slows things down.

The course was in the worst condition i have ever seen it. I have been playing there for the past 5 years.

Enjoyed a day of golf. Course was in great condition besides a few spots on the about 4 greens that seem to be going back in. Staff were extremely helpful and restaurant staff and food were great.

Second time playing, both times have been awesome. Some greens need some love and are like putting on an alligator's back, but most are quite nice. Love the rolling layout of the course. Definitely will be going back.

Staff members were very polite and friendly. Employee issuing carts was very pleasant and professional. The course was in great shape except a few greens but they are growing back in. Had a little issue with group behind us hitting into us. Other than that a great day with friends.

In town for the Super Bowl & played English Turn, TPC Louisiana & Lakewood during my time. Felt like getting out of the city and so happy I did. Easy drive, not much out there though but the course was in good shape considering the snow and freezing temperatures they have had of late - a few patchy spots on the green and fairway but all in all a great day out. I played as a single and was done in 2-1/2 hours. Staff are incredibly and everyone I interacted with were more than helpful and friendly. I would gladly play this course again.

Second time I’ve played this course. Loved it both times and will play again when the opportunity presents. Greens are like putting across a gator’s back on some holes and marvelous on others. Clubhouse is really nice and staff was super friendly.

It was a cold day. Staff were polite and trying to protect the turf in conditions of frost in the early morning. Grounds guy always is super polite and helpful. Office staff were polite and positive

Some greens are in really bad shape. Really like this course but putting on those bad greens was challenging.

Wetaher was perfect, course overall was in good shape except for some of the greens, although they do seem to be trying to correct them.
