People think we have this amazing grass growing climate but we don't.

Is this a micro climate in Denham Springs? How is every other golf course getting grass on the greens? Louisiana isn't any different than anywhere else on the Gulf South and there are some amazing greens from Texas to Florida.

Simply put, the ground hasn’t been healthy since the flood when it had water on them for almost 72 hours straight and all sorts of chemicals got in the topsoil

BINGO...in addtiona to chemical intrusion there was an ambundance of funky organic materials that settled into the ground and permeated the greens.....threw off the entire balance of the growing environment and was ripe for certain fungus and algeas to bloom and multiple. That flood wasn't just some rain and runoff...it emptied the basin of the Amite into this area for days upon days. The funk that came up through the river and into the area created a marriage of bad circumstances, none of which were conducive to growing great grass.

That being said, ell_13 is spot on when he talks about the good job they have been doing the past several months. I played the course regularly for the past year or so and the conditions were one of the main reasons I held off on joining. AFter seeing the progress that has been made and the proactive management taking place, I felt good about shoving my money across the desk in exchange for my magic 4 digit number.

Come play the course in the spring and I am confident you will be impressed.

Didn't they also plant bent?

Just curious - if someone were looking to join a racist golf group, what exactly should to look for ?

I'm not sure, but they are probably playing the White Tees

The place itself and the majority of the groups are not.
