Great Course!

I've played the Bluffs for the past 20 years and the course is in above average condition. They're gearing up for an LGA event so they are letting the greens grow out a bit, but still worth playing. Fairways and tee boxes are in very good shape.

golf now

Im a believer. This is now the only way I will book my tee times. Thanks Golf now for allowing me to experience this course which is normally a little to pricey for my taste to play a round of golf

Challenging but enjoyable

Great experience playing this course. Plenty of challenges with tight fairways that rely on accurate tee shots to set up for any sort of chance at reaching the greens in regulation. Greens were in great condition, and offered tough, but manageable putts. Will definitely play again.

Best Coarse for the Money

I found this coarse on a hot deal for $26. WHAT A STEAL!!! I would compare this coarse to TPC Louisiana. Absolutly stunning and very challenging. Worth every penny. I have payed $100+ for coarses not as nice as this. I'll play again in a heartbeat.

Great value

Late morning tee time. Course was wide open. Had one twosome catch us on the 18th. hole. Great value for the condition and quality of the course. Played 2 other highly ranked courses in LA & MS. This was by far the best course we played. Would play it every day if I could.

Great Layout!

Everything about the course and facilities is hard to beat. My only complaint was the absence of sand in the bunkers. Overall, I'd give the resort better than 4 out of 5 stars. If the sand traps had sand in them, it would be a 5 star golf resort.

Great Value on Golf Now

A friend and I booked a round through Golf Now for $19 each, an offer made because the greens had just been punched. There was some sand on the greens which slowed the putts down, but the putts rolled true and did not hop or bounce around. The course was in great shape, especially considering there had been a massive storm two days earlier. The staff was spectacular in both the pro shop and the restaurant. Playing here is usually pricey, so very happy about the deal on Golf Now.

Patience is Golden

Beautiful layout with challenging yet fair golf holes. If stay in proper mental zone, very rewarding results. If try to play beyond skill and hit spectacular shots, will pay for it. Only drawback is neither the tee box nor scorecard give you a layout of each hole to preview hazards.. Pro shop does have course book for purchase. Regardless of your score, scenery is beautiful.

Course is awesome (BUT)

The course is awesome, BUT the bunkers are in terrible shape, just dirt & thousands of rocks, which changed mode of play because rocks will damage club face.

Winter is coming.

Lots of brown grass and leaves due to fall weather. But most courses nearby in Baton Rouge are still green and well maintained.

Picturesque and course is in very good condition

10/23/2013 - Took advantage of a beautiful fall Wednesday to play one of the more scenic golf courses around. The course was in very good condition and the weather made it that much more enjoyable. Very little traffic in the way of other golfers since it was a mid-week round. If you haven't played The Bluffs, I highly recommend this course. Check out the restaurant too as they have an excellent burger.
