re: Golf Digest - LA top 10 courses

I will comment on the few that I have played...

4. (3) The Bluffs On Thompson Creek, St. Francisville
Played July 2015 and it sucked. Decent layout but $87 to play that goat ranch was highway robbery. It was more of a $35 course

5. (8) Koasati Pines G.C., Kinder
My favorite course in the LC area. Plenty of creative challenging holes and lots of tee choices for players of all levels. Always in good shape.

8. (7) Gray Plantation G.C., Lake Charles
Nice course usually in pretty good shape. Good layout. Nothing special here. Not sure it deserves a top 10 spot

9. (New) Contraband Bayou G.C., Lake Charles
Great course layout. Was very well maintained when it first opened but got into "meh" condition for a while. Has really came back to great condition in the last 2 years... A little overpriced and not sure it is deserves this list.

10. (New) The C.C. At The Golden Nugget, Lake Charles
This course is still very new. I like the layout and I think they are keeping it in excellent shape. Greens are very good. It's definitely a little different with all that crazy bush grass lining the fairways. Could easily be a mainstay on this top 10 list once it matures a little more. WAY overpriced at $160/rd.
