Correct.

Bayou South is going up to $3k on 4/1. No walking fee there which is a plus.

What I pay at chateau is absolute steal considering some prices being thrown around here. I did some negotiating when ET when to shite.

What are thoughts on Lakewood, Timberlane, and Stonebridge?

Sure if you say so, but i just don’t think you understand what the word “Masterpiece” means. That’s a strong strong word for a part of the country not known for its golf courses.

My brother just joined lakewood. The old course imo was much better snd the practice facility is mehhh. But, he pays like 220 a month and there’s no cart fee. So it’s a pretty good bang for your bucks for a fairly decent public course.

Whoaaa. Not on the renovation. Not at all. I don’t know much about what their plans are minus leveling out some of the greens from what i was told. I said they blew up the old course and it had deteriorated. It wasn’t very good considering what those members pay out there. I said i hope they turn it back into something really nice. But i also don’t use the word masterpiece to describe any of our courses down here. We just aren’t that type of golf market or landscape.

My comment regarding Metairie is as due to someone mentioning the OP joining MCC. Why on earth would anyone join it right now? It’s a pile of dirt as we speak. That’s where my comments are coming from.

It was a dump. It had gone down hill over a long period of time. They even lost their greens numerous times over the last few years. I believe that’s the obvious reason for the renovation. I said if you would read “i don’t know much about the renovation other than they’re leveling out the greens”. My childhood friend was the temp assistant pro out there recently and he told me what was happening but that parts all i remember. I’m a realist about our golf seen down here. Some people like you get defensive about it. We have no masterpieces. If we’re comparing ourselves to the rest of the country we are probably near the bottom in desired golf destinations. Especially in the GNO. Which imo TPC and South Course are the only ones that maintain their course at a truly high level and the only ones I’d join south of the lake. Once you get to the northsore there’s BCC and Tchef which imo are both nice. I never once crapped on the new design of Metairie because i don’t even know what it really is going to be so you should learn to read better. Or show me where i said the new Reno is going to be a dump.

You have some really bad takes, but this is amongst the worst. You are talking out of your arse, the MCC is pretty much a complete restoration by a very well respected Raynor architect whose done courses such as Country Club of Charleston which is amazing. MCC should be pure as hell when it’s done.

Lol. Both of you can’t read for crap. I never once said the Reno was going to be bad lol. I said the old course became bad. That’s why they’re renovating. The last time i played Metairie which was about 2 years ago i was dumbfounded what it had become. I don’t think the south course is any great layout or anything but condition wise it’s always pretty good. That isn’t the case and hasn’t been the case with Metairie. Again, it’s hard to have a conversation with someone who thinks the GNO has “Masterpiece” golf courses down here. Like i said the first time about the Reno which you can’t comprehend, i hope they make that place nice again. Mingo, still waiting on that price for those clubs brother. Speaking of bad takes and talking out your aZz
