Just Wow
This course years ago was a gem. Loved coming here, used to be amazing atmosphere and with the Palmer name on it, it lived up to that. Now Going here the layout doesn’t make sense. It’s a lot of back and fourth from the new club house to starting tee box etc.. In addition, the course was charging $55+ and is not worth $10. It’s embarrassing for how bad it has gotten. The Palmer name should be removed until the conditions get back to how they were 4-5+ years ago. Will not return for quite some time, and use your money elsewhere.

Typical Winter Golf
Course was pretty brown but all greens still rolled well and true. Holes 2-4 still struggling with recovery and holding water but man my only overall complaint is that it's not closer lol. Definetly will go back.

Coming Around
The clubhouse has been moved across the street from the parking and carts, which mostly annoying only because the original club house was a lot nicer. Including the bathroom and showers.
The course was in pretty good shape for January. The cart path is beat up, and a few the holes are not what they were intended to be. But, on the hole it's worth the drive and money...currently.
Thank you for your review, WilliamFell. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at The Bluffs on Thompson Creek. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Incredible
Such an amazing layout... great holes, fun to play... fairways ok, greens ok, but the course has stopped taking care of the sand traps and cart paths. Erosion has taken its toll. Would I play here again? Absolutely. Would I like to have played this course in its prime? Oh yes.

Good Day After Thanksgiving
On a wet Black Friday after Thanksgiving I had the course to myself. Challenging - some tight fairways and a good course overall.

No bev carrt girls or restaurant encouragement
Great potential. Great layout. HARD fairways. No ability to spin ball. Greens hard. No ability to leave divots on greens. Tough because of narrow greens and fairways but really poor tee boxes in some spots and fairways and greens could use some water

Looking Up
Everything looks like it is being spruced up. New grill opened, pools look great, club house looks newly pained and cleaned up. Course was in improved shape. Played course a few months ago and course is in really good shape now.

Great course, great value
After reading that the course was returning to its former glory, we decided to give it a try - WE WERE NOT DISSAPPOINTED!! The course is in excellent shape and far exceeded my expectations. In my opinion, this may be the best golf value in South Louisiana right now!
