Have to admit, as much as I dislike the course, it's in really good shape right now. Scramble there yesterday and was impressed with the conditions. Won a Blackstone griddle for closest to hole on 13.

It may be the worst golf course I've ever played that doesn't know and operate as a goat ranch.

Not a conditions take

I read this 10 times and I still don't know what the hell you are trying to say.

Courses that charge $9 to play know they are a goat ranch and don't claim to not be.

Those are the only golf courses I've ever played that are worse than the Farm, but it wants you to pay like $70 to play there.

What exactly are you trying to say? Not a huge fan of the layout but its fine and its usually in great shape. Same price as wetlands and its been in better shape then wetlands this year.

I played it for the first time a few weeks ago. There’s nothing wrong with the course that a chain saw, stump grinder and a few burn piles couldn’t fix. Nice facility. The members I met all seemed like good ole baws.

I really enjoy The Farm. Don't understand why some are saying it's a goat ranch. It's a decent course. 15th hole is dumb and they need to cut the tree down on #1 fairway but that's the only complaints I have. Range is not the best but most public course ranges aren't. If you think that is a goat ranch you haven't played Vieux Chenes.

Only one person is saying that. He should be ignored at all costs.

I didn't say it was a goat ranch. I said the course sucks. Blows hard. Horrible. Awful.

13,14,15 are horrible. 16,17,18 are good holes. I just dont like it, probably because I cant read greens there.

13 is a good hole. 14 is ok nothing special.

15 sucks and should turned into a par 3 with an elevated green.

The Farm is better than what I would've assumed for a public golf course in Carencro. Conditions are pretty good right now. It's nothing special, but I'm surprised it's getting the hate.

15 green always sucks, it deserves the hate. The layout as a whole is much better than Beaver Creek, Webb, or similar courses

Glad to hear it is in good shape. Saw that Mr. Bo Ramsay passed away. What an amazing man. Whatever everyone's opinion is of the course layout or condition we all are very fortunate that he and his family have given us a modern golf course to play in this area.

That’s a great thing for golf in the Lafayette area.
