Just played there recently and the greens are scary fast. I consider myself a good putter and I putted off 3 greens. The tees, fairways, greens and even the bunkers are well kept but it is rough on the edges. It is imperative to keep the ball in the fairway, no matter what you hit off the tee. The uphill shots play much longer than you think. Be wary of the hazard on #2. The par 5's are all tough holes with lots of hazards. I did not score very well the first time I played there, but think I will do much better the next. Keep the ball in play, try to keep the ball below the hole and watch you speed on the putts and you will enjoy the course. The PGA golf professional there Jamie and the staff are all very helpful!!

Thank you! I know most have said it's a goat ranch, but it's not like we're swimming in pristine public courses in my area. Looking forward to the elevation changes as that reminds me of playing back in GA where I grew up.

Hopefully these last few days of sunshine have dried things out. Nothing worse than a league tournament that's CPO

Just got home from playing, and holy shite. If this is y'all's goat ranch, you should see the bullshite we play in here in the Baton Rouge area. The greens were in great shape and slick as shite. Overall it was a very fun track and loved the elevation changes. But man, those greens ate me up.

Apparently I wasn't alone. When a 5 HC in the group shoots a 90, I didn't feel as bad about my 102. I must've had 45-50 putts out there it feels like.

Oh, and you guys were right, food was definitely legit afterwards. It's a long hike from BR but that's a decent course for $45 on the weekend
