LSU Golf Course conditions?

Your best post on here in years. Sad I can only like it once.

I would like to know as well. I have a rain check burning a hole in my pocket. It wasn’t for rain but for atrocious greens and making me pay more than $5 for the round.

"Why doesn't the landscaping students maintain it?"

Was told that they cannot touch it only offer advice. It's a shame because looks like they finally caught up with the grass cutting. I sometimes go out there on Sunday mornings because it's the only course you can get a green fee at that time. Went 2 weeks ago, they charged me $35. At least a couple of months ago they were cheaper because it was in bad shape, it still is.

Played there last week with some buddies. One of the greens was respectable, the rest don’t bother getting mad at your putting.

As far as losing a ball in the fairway, had that happen multiple times in our group even when multiple people watched where it went, some of the fairways seem like legit roughs on other courses.

For the price and if you don’t mind losing a few balls, it’s worth going out there with some buddies

Played there yesterday, greens are the best they have been in years. I was told they brought in a guy that really knows how to bring the greens back and it appears to be working. I will play there again next week.

They were beaches of Normandy about 3 weeks ago. Maybe it worked

It is peak growing season for grass in BR. I am sure it is primo.

I was once told by a golf course manager that all greens should look good during the winter, it's not hard to grow rye grass this time of the year.

Decided to go check out LSU this morning. Haven't played there in over 2 years and the last time the greens were nothing more than dirt with some clumps of grass mixed in.

I would say the greens right now are comparable to City Park (which I last played in early November). They appeared to be overseeded rye that's cut relatively short, but the grass to dirt ratio is the highest its been in years. They are slow, but puttable. The worst 2 greens were #2 and #17.

The rest of the course is pretty much how it's been for years. Super thick rough off the fairway that will swallow your ball if you don't pay attention to exactly where it went. The "fairways" are pretty much light rough anywhere else. Tee boxes aren't great either.

I'm in no hurry to go back, but I'll probably check it out again in late spring to see if they've made any progress. There are some fun holes out there and nostalgia keeps me from writing it off completely.
