Southern Oaks - Abbeville

have you seen/considered Oakbourne

Farm and wetlands would be in better shape than either Abbeville Or Vieux Chene

Thanks for the information. I guess I’m looking for something that I know I can go out around 2:30-3 today and grab a cart and play without sitting on every hole waiting. Again don’t mind being partnered up but don’t want a 5 hour round. Conditions aren’t a major factor but I don’t want to play off dirt greens and fairways either.

Jwal39232- how do I get in touch with you? We can go play today about 4!

I booked a 1:30 at Southern Oaks today. It’s probably not the greatest option on the world but was trying to get on somewhere not crowded and can get done quickly. Play two balls if I felt like it. Etc.

Appreciate all the info. Just trying to get settled down in the area and then join a club. Came from a club where the membership was active. Men’s events once a month, points events, social stuff with bands and such for the family. I made life long friendships there and go back every couple months just to play.

Obviously too late to help you with a round this afternoon, but if you live in Youngsville with family, joining Le Triomphe is a slam dunk. I was a member there for 30 years, and I’ve played there recently. (Not subtle brag: My name is on three of the five hole-in-one plaques). Course in great shape, practice facilities excellent, members are happy with new management group. They’re building a new pool. Probably wouldn’t take you long to find a group to play with.

Small greens you say!!

Haha. I played Southern Oaks today. It’s about 15 miles from my house. It’s not a “terrible” course. It’s just short, which I’m definitely not used to. It wasn’t the slowest round. I teed off at 1:30pm. I played two balls so that I would not run up on anyone in front of me, although I ended up playing through a two-some on hole 7. I shot 75/73 on the two balls. I thought I played decent considering I was playing the course and greens blind. It’s not my type of course, but would be fun with some buddies or occasional scramble type event. The guy that does the instagram videos and social media stuff does seem to be enthusiastic and I’m sure the local membership enjoy it a lot. If it wasn’t a 25 plus minute drive for me, I may even join because the price is great.

I’m going to try out LT and some of the other courses in the area in the coming weeks. Hopefully find a home close to the house soon.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I appreciate it.

I mean I figured that. At least he’s trying to make the place fun and inviting for members. He’s got a target audience and he’s reaching it. He was shooting a video while I was there today.
