Pace of play

There was a five-some (don't know if it's allowed or not) who were holding up at least 4 groups. They seemed to not know any course etiquette and did not anyone thru. Other than that the course was great.

Great Hot Deal

This course is an amazing value as a Hot Deal. Pros-include the scenery, price, GPS in-cart, nice restaurant and friendliness and dries quickly. Cons- out of the way if you're visiting New Orleans, conditions have been deteriorating over the years, heat and humidity, mosquitoes. In summary, this is a parish-owned golf course that is in better shape that private clubs I've played before but without the strange gaze of members that make you feel like invaders (you know what I'm talking about).

My Opinion

A very nice practice facility, difficult layout. Each hole was different. Greens rolled well. Course was adequately maintained. It was not crowded and it often felt like we had the place to ourselves. The south Louisiana Wildlife was varied and abundant.

Overall I flet the $74 price tag was a little steep for the course conditions. I will probably be back but only if I can catch a better price deal somehow.

Slow play .

Perhaps on busier days, a Marshall would help pace of play, when slower "players" have no idea what it means to let other players through.

Excellent as always.

Enjoyed a round of 18 holes at Atchafalaya at Idlewild. Course is in prestige shape. Staff was very professional as always. My favorite place to play.
