Deep pocket owner. The only way that place stays open.

Are they going to reopen the pool too?

Jim Moore. Very deep pockets. Think he told me he has about $18M invested so far. Not done yet. Announced he will be sodding all the new fairways as opposed to seeding them in.

Projected reopening date is September '26. We've had some member meetings regarding course design and progress. If its half as nice as projected, its going to be impressive.

Sometimes people do unexpected things when they know their time is near.

At least it a golf course and not some of the things other older gentleman have been know to do.

I'm assuming the course will be open to the public?

negative. Members only once the reno is complete. They told us what membership would cost at one of the meetings, but I can't remember what they said. I do recall the consensus being it was very reasonable and no one was complaining or clutching pearls.
They just replaced the cart fleet recently and will be adding GPS units to the carts for geofencing around the greens. The new pool is pretty cool. More of an activity pool as opposed to a lap pool. The pool house is fine AF.

Been fun watching it undergo its changes. They are taking out a shite ton of trees. I'll pour one out for that fricking pecan tree on hole 4. That thing was a magnet for my ball most rounds.

I don't know if this will work, You have to be a pretty high end course with a good location to survive on Members only in Louisiana. There have been many in the BR area that started with the same intention but had to shift to semi private.

Also interesting because that Golf Pass article has it on the "new public" golf courses opening in 2026.

I just cant imagine a place like that getting more than 150 members. The population is just too sparce up there. Might be more Depending on price and if they discount BR as "out of town". I remember the bluffs gave a discount to anyone south of 10 and still couldn't pull any members.

Last conversation about membership I had with the manager she told me she was close to 300 members. And that was before they broke ground. She also didn't define "close" lol. But that was the number she wanted.
