Good course

We were on vacation and the course was just 5 mins from where we were staying. The staff was great, guy met us at our vehicle with a cart and loaded our clubs. The pro shop staff were friendly and helpful. The course it self was fun to play with narrow Fairways and small greens. The only down fall was we made the turn and the club house had no food. Would definitely play this course again.

Awesome Track

Had a blast playing this on a random Tuesday afternoon.

Had to rent clubs for $40, which seemed fair compared to what some of the other local spots charge.

Got a hot deal so round was reasonably priced. Had the course to myself and had a blast.

Not very tough right now as it is still pretty soft from recent rain. Greens were tough for a first timer but nothing crazy.

Super fun experience will be back if I can get a discount off rack rates again.

Met expectations

Course was in OK conditions, greens were slightly fast but fairly contaminated. Fairways were in pretty good conditionn but not outstanding shape. fringes were 3.5 / 5 conditions. Paid more than i would of wanted to for what i though was equivalent to a nice municipal course. Not a super tight course, pin positions were challenging positions however not very undulating. Overall about what i expected given its peak tourist season down here around spring break time. Scenery and ambiance of the course was nice and all the staff were very nice

Indian Bayou

The course was in very good condition, especially the greens. The variety of tees makes the course playable and yet challenging for all levels of golfers.

Great course

First time playing this course, I love everything about it from the clubhouse to the turn to the pro shop and practice range. The course was beautiful and quiet, and greens were very firm and fast but in very good shape.

Golf Round

Met my Uncle visiting from out of town here for a round of golf. Service was very good from being greeted in the parking lot, to check-in, driving range, to beverage service, to the end of the round/club drop-off. Course was in great shape. You can tell the course staff is very organized. I recommend playing here. I used the Golf Now app "hot deals" to book the tee time. No problems checking in.
