Great course!
The front few greens and tee boxes are under repair but that’s the price you pay for improvement. For the money, this is my favorite course.
Poor Greens
The greens were in poor shape. The ball did not roll smoothly due to improper maintenance. This course has a great, yet challenging layout with nice fairways. However, the greens need a lot of work.
Great layout
Very nice course, but some t boxes were being redone and most of the greens are in pretty bad shape and all are very slow. Also some bunkers have weeds growing.
Still enjoyed playing it but could be in a lot better condition
New proper maintenance
The greens were very patchy with sand and growth. They had 2 holes where the flag was placed in the fairway due to the greens being in bad shape. The water coolers were low on water and they didn't have a cart person riding around to help with liquids in the 100+ heat. This course was once very nice but now is a complete joke for the money they want. I go to Berwicks course which is very maintained and always friendly.
We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your visit to our course. We appreciate your feedback and will take your comments into consideration to improve our greens, water cooler availability, and overall experience. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Great layout, poor condition.
It has been hot and dry, but the greens were extremely slow and bumpy. Two greens were under major repair and the holes were placed in front of them on the fairway. The fairways were hard (expected with the dry conditions and extreme heat), but they had good grass on them. Love the layout of this course, so it would be great if the condition was at least average or better.
We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with the golf course conditions. We appreciate your feedback and will continue our efforts to improve the quality of the greens and ensure a better overall experience for our customers.
Not ok
Staff was awesome. Restaurant was awesome. Pro shop was nice.
Course…not so much!!
Most tee boxes honestly looked like they had weed killer poured on them.
Greens were horrendous. Terrible!! Not one was even 80% “good”!!
Layout of course was very nice, almost like a wildlife tour!
I was perfectly fine paying $60 green fee until I got to first hole!! Definitely not worth that and won’t be until they put some money into those greens.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your kind words about our staff, restaurant, and pro shop. We apologize for the condition of the tee boxes and greens. We will make sure to address these issues and strive to improve the overall experience for our customers.
Greens and tee boxes
Greens and tee boxes are in horrible condition probably the worst I’ve every seen on any golf course and they charge full price

Poor Greens and T-Boxes
The course is amazing. I drove in from Lafayette to see and play. I was very disappointed in the condition of the greens and T-boxes. They are in really bad shape. For a course with so much potential, they need a great deal of TLC. Beautifull course though.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the condition of the greens and T-boxes. We apologize for any disappointment caused and will take your concerns into consideration to ensure that we provide a better experience for our valued guests. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Really disappointed
Morning started great with very friendly helpful checkin but it was all downhill after that…
First tee box, and several more looked like they had been treated with grass killer, no joke.
Greens were absolutely horrendous. Not one out of 18 was in even “good” shape!
Course layout and scenic quality is awesome!! But course condition was horrible.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for the poor course conditions you experienced, and we appreciate your feedback. We will work on improving the tee boxes and greens to ensure a better experience for our guests in the future. Thank you again for your review.
Fun time
Achafalaya is a great place to play and always fun, you can see they are putting in work to update the course and they recently updated the golf carts. Very nice an we will be back
Everything great except the greens
Beautiful layout. Good fairways. Real rough. Fantastic clubhouse and restaurant.
Negatives: Greens were bad. Super spongy. Super slow and most greens have lost at least 30% of surface area due to disease or fungus. If they get that cleared up, the value was fantastic.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your kind words about our beautiful layout, good fairways, and fantastic clubhouse and restaurant. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the condition of our greens and will take your comments into consideration to improve the overall experience for our guests. Thank you again for your review.
Good Day to Play
I had a great day playing, I hit them straight and long that day.
Greens need some help
Fairways and most tee boxes were in great shape! Wildlife was out and about. The greens were in pretty bad shape. Lots of dead grass and sprouts of other grasses making them very bumpy and slow. The greens on 16-18 were the best on the course.
