Great round! Nice course

The course was in pretty decent shape despite all the rain that we had for the past three days. 90 degree rule and greens were in real good shape!

Mew

A course that is open to the public but only allows “members” to use the driving range doesn’t deserve my money. There are a lot of places to spend my money that treat a paying customer much better.

Bunkers still need an overhaul

Overall, course is playable. However, the last few times played, the driving range was closed to members only. Warming up is essential. They will lose money like that. Not sure what is up with that. Bunkers are in bad bad shape. The water hazards are all green and stinky. The cart paths are a wreck. If you suffer with back issues, the rough cart paths will surely add aggravation to an already tough course. The whole course needs attention. Parts of the fairways have this bare hard ground you can break a club or wrist on.

Maintenance has gone down

It’s still a beautiful course layout and a challenging track; however, the fairways and especially the greens and bunkers have not been maintained well.

Hidden Gem

Great course to play. Little golf community kept in the back of some winding roads. Beautiful area.

Wonderful experience

Great staff. Great course.

Barry (pro shop) was courteous, knowledgeable and accommodating. Few amenities available due to Covid19 but they did have ice, drinks, water, beer and a few snacks. Course was in great shape! Compliments to the greens keeper. Played with my son and we look forward to playing again.

Great Layout but...

It has been years since my last outing to The Bluffs.

The greens were as I had remembered (Great) but the fairways are a bit thin at this time.

most of the bunkers could use more sand. ( Haven't been maintained)

But the thing that bothered me the most was the terrible cart paths.

Had a good day

We enjoyed the course and the day.

However I had one of my party that had to drop out due to his daughters job (nurse) had change her schedule.

Tried to cancel one of the four tee times and I got a message back from GolfNow that the course had not allowed it and when I got to the course I was told it was GolfNow that controlled that.

I had read that I could modify or cancel tee times until an hour before the actual tee time.

The Bluffs tried to issue me a rain check but their system would not allow it because their was no bad weather in our area.

I'll be a bit more cautious in the future scheduling tee times.

Thanks and have a good day!

Worth the drive

Wow what a nice course in the middle of nowhere. There are a couple for holes on the front nine that are being. Worked on and is more rustic than the other holes. The score cards reflect the new yardage but the golf apps haven’t.

Not impressed with the group of eight in front of us playing slowly. There was even a course marshal following them and not letting us play through.

No gps on the carts but the sprawling course is well thought out and challenging.

Even with the slow play we really enjoyed this course.

Worth the drive from Lafayette.

Trapped by sand

The course was in good shape, greens recently sanded fairways had some recent work done as well. The only area needing attention was the sand traps. There was a fair amount of small rocks on many traps and the sand was packed had not been racked in some time.
