This golf course offers a pleasant round just outside New Orleans with a nice mix of holes. The layout features mature trees, several water hazards, and some strategically placed bunkers that require thoughtful shot selection. The fairways and greens were in solid condition during our visit, and the greens rolled smoothly. The course has a classic parkland feel and stays interesting throughout the round. Overall a very enjoyable place to play golf in the area and definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a solid round of golf near New Orleans.

In town visiting and stop by to play this course with my wife. Chose it due to the proximity to New Orleans and the price. I was amazed by how well the course was maintained. Everything was green and filled in. The course was beautiful with a few unique and challenging holes. I will definitely come back on our next visit.
DO NOT PAY FOR 18 holes after 4:00! They make you bring the carts back at 7:00, don’t matter what hole you’re on. But you can finish walking the course if you’d like. They also wouldn’t give us a rain check for 9 holes either being we couldn’t finish ( we were on hole 12). Only course I’ve been to that made us bring carts back before your round was finished. Greens also are not in good shape, dead spots and craters of sand on some greens. Definitely not worth the price they charge out there.
