Atchafalaya front nine was very wet. Back nine not so much. Course is in rough shape. Love the layout but condition isn't what I would expect for a $75 green fee.

The farm was pretty dry. Carts on path though.

Ellendale was back to 90* and they were able to cut everything except 7 fairway and a few low spots. Verticutting the greens on Monday. They’ll be incredible in a couple weeks if we get a decent weather pattern.

Carter is 90 except for 10,11, and 18? Greens are great. Teed off at 12:14 and miraculously finished in 4 hours even though we waited a bit on each hole

Pelican Point - Golf Get Ready nine hole course was nice and dry today. Greens were in good shape too. 2 of us played in 3 hours.

Greystone still 90....some satuarated areas. Fairways need attention - - you can tell they have not been able to mow properly in a while.

I wanted to play there a couple weeks back but they had a tournament going on. We played Links instead. Despite all the rain they got the previous day, it was in good shape.

La Tour greens good

Heard Carter greens good

All things considering this crazy weather that’s been around lately

There’s not a bad spot on any of Carter’s greens right now. It would be interesting to see how fast they could make them right now since it seems they’re healthy enough to mow them down tight and/or roll them. I know nothing of the art

Carter greens always in tip top shape. I mean always. Their crew is unreal

One of our group took a picture of one of my lies because it did not seem possible that a ball could be sitting that high on grass. That's how thick/tight the Bermuda is. It was like there was an invisible tee at the surface of the grass.

Played Oakwing last Friday. The greens are shite and they are not maintaining the traps. No explanation given. Fairways are superb.

Fairways and tee boxes have never been better at Oakwing. That being said, greens have never been worse.
Links on the Bayou one of the best courses in the State that people don't know about. Always in excellent condition. City of Alexandria should be promoting and advertising it statewide to get it the recognition it deserves.

Haha.

With this administration, I will be more surprised if the course survives than if it continues to exist. I've already heard/read the rumblings.

Reporting in from the westbank:

TPC is good. A few very muddy areas.

Stonebridge greens have done a 180 since the spring. Except for a few spots they are really good. Rough is nasty because it rains every day. Again, lots of mud.

Lakewood greens are not great. More mud.
