Best value on the Bayou
I like playing golf in the winter - not hot - temps today in the 40's to 50. Atchafalaya Golf course in great shape for winter golf . Golf course in great shape for a winter outing . I like to play in the winter - cooler temps for Louisiana ! Best deal on the Bayou !
Fast greens
The greens were in great shape and fast but true.
It was a very windy day two club difference on some holes
Ed and his staff are always friendly and helpful
Greens are in outstanding shape, tee boxes were great as well
Diamond in the rough
layout is very good a mix of water hazards sand traps, the moguls make for challenging lies if you miss the fairway. can't wait for cooler temps
Outstanding golf course
Enjoyed a wonderful day. Staff was very polite and helpful. Course was in excellent shape and greens were perfect. Such a pleasure to play on a professional course like this. Top notch. Top notch.
Good course
Sand traps where too unpredictable. Wasn't sure how to hit out of them because that had little or no sand in most of them. But besides that the course was in incredible shape. Beautiful!!
Great Place to Play
I enjoy playing this course love the lay out and the scenery. I like it so much. My friends and I are thinking about getting a membership.
Fun Course
Very nice course. Some spots on several greens need some TLC. Overall though I enjoyed it very much. Clubhouse and Pro Shop staff are extremely nice. Food was excellent. Would return to play again.
Hidden gem!
I've been playing this course for over a year now. I live in Houma and have no problem driving 35 mins to this course. It is always in great shape, the layout is fun and challenging, the staff is always friendly and checking in is quick and easy. The practice facilities include tees, chipping area and putting green. The restaurant and bar top notch.
The first time you play it will challenge you, but if you are lucky enough to play there often you figure out how to manage it. Front nine is a little more challenging due to the middle three holes. The second nine is getable.
But this course is green and lush and all you could ask for off the beaten path.
Hope this helps, enjoy!
Great day
The course is in great shape. If you like playing a risk reward course this is the one for you. Even if you play safe you can shoot a good score. The par fives are fun to play. The hole sets up according to how you hit your tee shot.
To sum this course up it has character. You will be telling all your buddies about the different hole set ups.
The course was in good shape.
The only problem was how hot is was, but that is typical during this time in Louisiana.
Nice place
Great layout - you have to keep the ball in the fair way . Greens in good shape . Course has had a lot of rain but plays good ! GPS golf carts a big help on making the shots . Friendly staff will return soon - great day on the course ! Hole 9 and 18 you have a small greens to hit - water on both 9 and 18 greens very fast on 9 & 18 - be careful !
Nice course
We were disappointed that we had to play the back 9 twice because the front 9 was being worked on. The lady at the check in desk was not very friendly and she seemed more interested in a conversation with another woman than talking to us. The bunkers were unplayable and should have been designated ground under repair.
Great layout, okay condition
Greens were good but they are getting aerated May 2nd. Fairways were just okay. Grass wasn't too lush.
Love the layout and staff was extremely friendly. Great clubhouse as well.
Great course, great deal and great time
I enjoyed the course and the Atchafalaya experience. It's tough but beautiful. I enjoyed the abundant wildlife. I would highly recommend this course. Also the restaurant has great food. Thanks again.
One of a Kind!
Entire course in great shape! Greens were excellent, fairways were a little tight, but overall really good. Staff was very friendly. We had lunch, which was delicious! Recommend catfish poboy! However, any item on the menu is a winner!
Wonderful Course - "Beautiful"
This is an outstanding dunes type course. The front nine is absolutely beautiful. Very challenging, and perfectly laid out. The greens were trimmed and fast, the fairways were in great shape. One of the prettiest nine holes I have played. The back nine is challenging but does not have the beauty of the front. It is great shape, well kept, and great play. Just not as spectacular as the front. This will be a course that I play whenever I am in the Morgan City area.
Great layout
The course was in great shape. Everyone went out of their way to take care of us from the moment we pulled up until we left. Think it is one of the top five courses in the state. It was well worth the hour drive to play the course.
