This is sad having only played Greystone a couple times a few years back. Greens were really great back then. Damn near perfect and true roll. I’m guessing they never recovered from 2016 flood and/or freeze? Layout was enjoyable as well from what I remember, especially the back 9.

Was damp Wednesday afternoon and it rained tonight so probadly wet. The punched the greens Wednesday so maybe the rain washed the sand off.

I played Links on the Bayou in Alexandria today. It’s in great shape.

Bayou Oaks was as drenched as everything else around here but the greens were fantastic

Played Carter this morning with some buddies (one frequent poster on this board), and the course was actually in great shape. Carts were 90 degrees, which was a pleasant surprise. Greens were good. Fairways were fine but needed to be mowed; obviously that is to be expected. Hopefully we get some dry weather soon!

I’m playing Carter tomorrow morning and of course it rained again today. Will be wet but it looks fantastic right now. Let the downvotes commence I guess?

Squishy as expected but the greens are perfect. Shove your downvotes. Thanks!

I played Tamahka Trails in Marksville back in May and it was in excellent shape.

I’m playing a tournament this weekend and this is still the case. Tip top shape.

Played in a tournament at Beauregard CC yesterday and the course was so wet we had to play the back twice. Greens were in great shape and a lot less trees than there was the last time I played there. Hurricanes took there toll except the trees that are in play.

Since everything is CPO I figured I’d play Audubon yesterday. Got poured on the entire day and had to call it on 14.

Course was holding up fairly well considering limited staff and the amount of rain we’ve had. Everywhere is soaked it seems like.

Played Copper Mill yesterday morning and it was CPO, but nowhere near as bad as The Oaks in MS we played last weekend.

Course is in decent shape. Greens aren't too bad (other than goose shite), but they are super slow. All in all, not a bad $45 and we beat the afternoon rain

All of Greystones fairways are lower in the center, so if you hit a perfectly straight drive, be prepared to hit your 2nd shot out of the swamp. It was terrible. Bring extra pair of shoes.

Played yesterday. Even after all of the rain the last week it was still in really good shape.

Played Le Triomphe yesterday. Range was open and carts were 90 degrees which was a welcome surprise. Greens were punched on Monday so they sucked, very bumpy and sandy. But course was in pretty good shape and not too wet considering.
