Looking to play a round Wednesday afternoon. Thinking its between Vieux Chene, The Farm or The Wetlands. Where would you play? Any of these courses in unusually bad shape that I should avoid?

Better book your tee time at wetlands right now for $29 Wednesday.

Stay away from Vieux Chene.

Easily The Farm or Wetlands. I prefer The Farm just for the practice facilities. Top notch, but if you're just looking to play a round either will be enjoyable

Any reason to avoid Vieux Chene? Just not on the same level as the other two? I haven't played it. I've played the wetlands and was impressed.

Nowhere near the same level as the other 2. I'd rather pay 10 more bucks and actually be able to putt the greens. And there are always 100 walkers that you have to play through.... if they offer

I live 5 minutes from Vieux Chene and I will drive to Carencro to The Farm before I play that shite hole

The farm is $43 on weekdays, which is cheaper than the other two and it's the nicest out of the three

Played Wetlands the other day. It was in great shape and there were very little people out there. My brother in law and I didn't feel rushed or slowed down at all

Overall I prefer the Farm because I enjoy a course with trees on it. But wetlands is closer so I play it more regularly

I only play vieux chene when the people I play with absolutely insist on it

I personally don't like Vieux Chene so I avoid it most of the time. The Wetlands is the nicest course in the area. A hard course to that I like to play is Spanish Trail in Cade which is off 182 before New Iberia. The Farm is really nice I have played a few times. Believe it or not Muni on the Northside is not bad they just don't have a driving range.

That's a good way to go. The farm has a fun lay out. I haven't been out there in a few years. Have fun
