Dumas was/is a horrible golf course that should have either been completely rebuilt or closed years ago. The fairways are common bermuda, not 419 or Celebration like every other course in town. There is no irrigation on tees on tees or fairways. The irrigation around the greens is like what I have in my yard.

The grass on the greens has been there since the 1960s. It's not like Tifeagle at Beaver Creek or MiniVerde at Santa Maria. All of the other local courses also have modern grasses. How could Dumas possibly compare favorably to any other course in the area?

All of these glaring deficiencies are dwarfed by the fact that it's flat as a pancake and one of the most poorly drained courses in Louisiana -- perhaps the world. I, for one, will be glad to see it go. Anything they build in it's place will be a definite upgrade.

So what grass do the greens at Copper Mill and Webb have? Because Dumas greens are better than both of those.

I won’t argue about their fairways. But the layout wasn’t horrible, although it may be nostalgia talking.

Learned to play golf at dumas in the early 90’s. A lot of good times had there on the old layout. Didn’t care for the rebuild they did but didn’t play much there as an adult anyway.
