Presently they manage Copper Mill and English Turn. Formerly bayou oaks North and driving range, the national GC of Louisiana, and recently the island
Talked to someone last week that said Billy Casper golf was raking over the Island.

Played yesterday
I’m not a good golfer but I’ll reiterate some complaints
The greens have ALWAYS been small. But they seem even smaller now. If you aren’t dialed in your ball is off the elevated postage stamp green and in a bunker. That’s how it’s always been but even more so now. They seem smaller and smaller.
Putts were hard to read. Some were fast. Some were slow.
Some greens had patches of sand on them. Idk what the reasoning is.
Some bunkers were wet. With just seashells and rocks.
The rough was insane. I played the old course last year and the caddies said it was grown to Open type conditions and they had Sunday Open pin positions. I felt like I was back playing in that condition. Lost balls in the rough. They’d just disappear. I’m talking mid calf length grass.
It’s just always been a ridiculously hard course and to have it not in immaculate condition makes it almost circus golf conditions.
I never played it frequently but it definitely seemed extremely harder than normal given the conditions.
The greens are comically small. Comical.
