Do NOT play here!!!!

Course is in great condition and I come play here most weekends. There is an extremely bad hornet problem on the course that has not been addressed. This is a huge safety hazard and I or anyone else should not play here until it’s fixed!!!!

Love my local course

Atchafalaya has its ups and downs as far as greens go but they have definitely been upgrading and greens have been getting better and better this year. Definitely worth a play if you haven't played here before. Nice layout and pretty course.

Great day

Great day of golf. Some tee boxes need work or need to be moved so the grass can grow back on them. Mostly sand on the tee box. But other than that, the course is in great condition.

Great Course for the all handicaps

It's been years since I played this course, as it is an hour and a half away, but remembered it was a nice and challenging course. Decided to play it again with some friends and glad we did. We played one up from the tips and made it very challenging, but fun. Course is laid out very well and greens ran true. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Restaurant has great service and food. Will definitely be putting this back on the list to play at least twice a year.

Only downfall was we never did see the beverage cart that day.
