The Bluffs on Thompson Creek

Very good grass cut right only one green was rough

Course is in great shape except approx 4 or 5 greens on back 9 needs some work. Will play again soon.

I played this course about 10 years ago. It was in great shape. When I played it a couple of months ago, it was a totally different course. Greens were not in good shape, grass in fairways was not good, tee boxes were in bad condition. Just not the course I remembered.

Driving the course you can really tell how incredible the course used to be.. One of the first problem I ran into being a first time player, the second hole has her shortened and therefore I did not have proper yardage on 18 birdies app. About half the greens were in terrible condition, many bunkers have been removed . Need to save this course before it gets too bad.

While the course layout is great and the off course extras are very nice the greens were in poor condition. Most of the greens had large dead area, no grass at all.

It pains me to write this review. I was living in St. Francisville when the course opened and have played it countless times. It was always a favorite and I have come back often from out of state to play it and have recommended it countless times. But the condition of the course was awful. There was no grass on most of the greens and what grass there was was spotty. The fairways were burned. There was a constant gnat swarm for 18 holes. I hope someone takes over and restores this course. I came 5 hours to be very disappointed in the conditions.

Very upset with the conditions, wish I would have been told the greens were under construction and being fixed. Did not want my first time at this course to be like that for as much money as we paid. Just had very high hopes because of all the talk around this course. And I was let down some of the bunkers didn’t even look like sand and just overgrown. And it hasn’t rained in over week no excuse for the way the course looked this morning. Will be a while before I go back and will wait for a report to see if everything is back to how Everyone says it’s supposed to be because all I have heard is how beautiful and awesome this course is supposed to be.

With the changing ownership of the Bluffs it just needs a little love.... The course was great and I feel the staff is doing what needs to be done to bring the Bluffs back to its glory days! My favorite course around the Baton Rouge area. The greens were fine and you can’t find the awesome hilly terrain many other places. Thumbs up !

The fairways were not in good shape but the greens were,

This golf course is starting to come around as the greens were much better than the last time I played it 3 months ago. However the Food and Beverage offerings that use to be wonderful are non existent. The pro shop staff is in need of training as well.

I was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the course despite the overnight rain. The course was cart path only and most sand traps had some standing water as well as on some fairway areas but the greens were in pretty good shape and true. Cart paths are a little rough but that is a result of tree roots and the trees are important to the layout of the course. The rolling hills, ravines and water hazards make for a challenging yet rewarding experience. Except for the lack of balls at the driving range everything was good.

bunkers need alot of attention, we just didnt evenplay out of them because of lack of sand and so many rocks. greens rolled good, fairways were nice, would play again but play out of bunkers. this is a $38- 45.00 course unless bunkers are addressed then maybe 45-55 dollars on weekend, jmo

The Arnold Palmer designed golf course isn’t just the typical flat Louisiana golf course were used to. Awesome elevation changes make you feel as if you’re in the Carolinas.
Greens are in decent shape, consistent roll. Staff was friendly, but pace of play could have been better. Overall I definitely will be back and bringing my friends along as well. Love this place.

Don’t know why this place is getting a bad rep, it’s an amazing course especially for the price is you wait till it drops. Yes some of the greens were horrid from damage, but not horrifically bad, the fairways were great, the sand was a little harder than desired but not too bad. The layout is the best in the Baton Rouge Area, hands down. I play in zachary and BR a lot at all the public courses and the layout (sand, hazards, and angles) are stellar here.

Greens are in bad shape. Fairways could be better. The price is way to much for the course condition right now.

Flyers from the fairway. Bunkers unplayable. Greens uncut and slow. This was a fundraiser tournament and it was horrible. Love the layout, but you have to maintain the course. Now a par 71 instead of par 72 because of flood waters from Thompson Creek. Course was in terrible condition. I won’t go back until I hear the conditions have improved. They’re charging too much for the conditions on the course. BREC maintains they’re courses better. For those who don’t know, those are public courses in Baton Rouge, La.

Overall, the Bluffs is one of my favorite courses, but I continue to express my frustration with the condition of the bunkers. Some have sand with rocks, others have no sand. I'm not sure if there is a shortage on sand or if they're getting sand from nearby Thompson's Creek, which would explain the rocks I guess. Hole #2 has been shorten to a par 4, but we were not informed of this at check in and the scorecard still shows par 5. It's not a round ender, but we would have played the hole differently.

Perfect day for me to play, pace was great,
course was in excellent shape and staff was
helpful and extremely pleasant. Partner and I
played a replay round.
