re: Anyone got any updates on the Bluffs

Just…..

Sell it to the Felicianas and let it be a parish(es) course. Lots of folks have moved to the 2 parishes. Tax money is the only option.

That initial investment would get the course repaired and back open for play. It’s the upkeep after that 2-3 year timeframe that would need substantial play just to break even.

People must not like money like I do. There’s be bullets flying at skulls if people did that shite to me.

Can get a great deal on well built houses up there. Just very remote.

I don’t think, even combining both parish’s, that there’s enough revenue to support a golf course.

It depends on what kind of course.

If people want a pristine layout with manicured bunkers and landscaping filled with azaleas, then no, tax support won’t help.

But you can have a clean track, no bunkers or azaleas and decent greens with nice views and topography with tax money.

You do what you can do.

False River CC is privately owned by someone with DEEP pockets and they have some members that are very well off. They also have a ton of farmers as members that have no problem cutting a check or donating equipment as a write off.

Was at the main clubhouse a few weeks ago, our daughter’s rehearsal dinner will be there in May. Looked great. The bar on the creekside of building was in ready-to-use condition. Entire building in good shape. They are hosting events there now.
As I understand it, the first payment was made in June, the second due in Jan 25, then a year for the third payment. Have heard nothing about grounds work and see no evidence of activity.
But the fond memories of post-round bet settling in the bar or a Friday night burger and beer, not to mention many dinners in dining room a few decades ago…I know it is a long, long shot (like me reaching 9 in two or birdieing 17!) but oh how I wish it could be returned to the Bluffs of past.

Anybody remember the club tournament about 10 years ago that featured former pro Brian Bateman - beat Tiger at 07 Buick - and a local guy that was a glorious, tense finish over final 4 holes?! Truly epic! 50 or more carts and hundred or so people around 17 and 18? Long, winding down hill off camber birdie for the win! Brian was stellar but local guy won.

Best layout in a state totally devoid of quality golf! Afghanistan has better golf

Unfortunately my assumption is that the home owners are mowing them because it’s winter and the grass will stay short until spring. I pray to God I’m wrong though and that it means some work on the course will follow.
