The course is set up great

Sand traps are in bad condition mud in some traps and very hard packed sand,

Also most par 5 holes and most par 4 holes have extremely short grass on fairways it's like hitting the ball on concrete need to cut grass on fairways way less often still a beautiful course

The Beauty Never Stops

This course is truly amazing; a gem in Cajun country. It is beautiful, but challenging. I am originally from this area, but live in Texas. Every time I go home for a visit, this is on my list of things to do.

Best Hot Deal in south Louisiana

I have played this course several times but it’s a 1-hour trip for me and don’t want to add insult to injury by paying full price. This is one of the best courses I have played in terms of drainage 24 hours after a rainy day. Most of the time even after a moderate rainy day they have a 90 degree rule. In terms of the conditions the course is acceptable but not pristine conditions. The Pro-shop people are very nice as the restaurant waiters are. They have a spring special for $39.95 for which you could play better courses in, let say, Florida.

Course conditions

Didn’t like the bunkers the sand was crusty and hard to play from. They didn’t look like they had been taken care of. The fairways were pretty good. The greens were a little bumpy. But I liked the course and will play it again next time I’m in the area. Enjoyed the course and the guys I played with.

Best in South Louisiana

I always describe Atchafalaya as a snap shot of Louisiana.

Greens are true but not super fast, ever hole is unique, and the practice grounds are top notch.

The chicken and sausage gumbo is so good too.

Highly recommend this coarse.

Great Course

Rain on Wednesday 1 1/2” Friday was 90 degrees. Greens in great shape for this time of year, about a 9 1/2 on stimp meter. Have to say I was impressed with overall shape of course.
