Greens

Course is challenging but fair. However today the greens were horrible. Big burnt sand spots, slow and bumpy.

stay in the fairway

This place is beautiful. The club house is huge. The fairways are absolutely flawless. The comments below don't lie, a few of these greens like #4 and 3 more on the back have 3 or 4 spots where the grass is gone and they had to sand over it. I'm not sure what happened to them, they may have just caught some disease that killed those spots. Besides those 4, the rest of the greens are just fine. If you stay in the fairway, you'll be fine. If you don't, the trees will not give you a shot at the green. Until those greens are fixed, I probably won't drive 50 min. to play here.

Great layout but poor greens and bunkers.

Greens were once again in poor shape - played earlier in the summer. Very "spongy" and slow. The did sand the greens but again, very slow. Hole #3 green is just about a total loss - dirt and sand. Gorgous layout but the greens and bunkers (hard, filled with water and not raked) are not in good shape.

Very Nice Course but Greens were horrible

First time playing this course. Read some reviews beforehand about the greens being bad, Played it anyways. Greens were horrible. Apparently there was a cold spell that hurt the greens.

Overall the course is very nice, great layout.

Also I wish courses would tell you about the greens when you get to the pro shop so you know what to expect.

I would not play this course again until the greens are better or they give you a discount on play.

I played Wolf Creek couple months ago and when we arrived they gave us a $25 merchandise gift card because one of the greens was in bad shape. More courses should do this when they are having problems with the course. Does not have to be $25 but just let us know.

A well kept secret that's not too secret

This golf course is difficult to find north of Baton Rouge. However, it is worth the hunt. This is a great course especially for the more experienced player. It offers a great challenge of holes and for a price that's not too bad. It is cheaper than going to play TPC. Definitely worth a play.

Great layout

The course is cut along the hillside and has some great views. It is a challenging course that will test your game but is not so difficult that you can't enjoy it.

Beautiful surroundings. Fairways and greens in great shape.

The course was in very good condition. I played two days after a lot of rain so most of the fairways were a little soggy. But other than that, the greens were great and sped up throughout the day. I booked this for 26% off which is $40/player(weekday). If the course was more dry and the weather wasn't cold it would have been worth the regular weekend rate of $72/player. The course surroundings are beautiful and I took quite a few pictures. The first whole is the tougest on the course going up hill(par4). The signature hole is the par 3 8th. A 50 ft. drop about 200 yds. Plus it's a beautifull sight. The areas around the greens were well kept and made it more convenient for chipping. The squirrels around the course were huge and we also saw a few deer. I had a great time and I can't wait to go back.

excellent very fast greens

Staff was very friendly. Course was in very good shape. Had played several times before, but not recently. Speed of greens made it a little too difficult.

Always a treat to play

The Bluffs is a beautifully laid out course with many challenges for every level golfer. The landscape and scenery are fabulous attributes. The course is very well maintained and the experience is always very satisfying, no matter what I score.
