The courses are good, but the greens were cored the end of July. Check with the golf shop on the conditions of the greens right now.

re: The Bluffs made Me Sad Today

It is very sad about The Bluffs...they have had a history of problems, turmoil, tragedies and changes with weather, ownership, membership and staff. The enduring thing has always been the fabulous golf course. The setting is spectacular and like no other course in Louisiana. I remember Arnold Palmer being there when it opened and said "The Bluffs may not be the best course in America, but you will think it is every time you play it". That was so true. I sure hope the owners, HOA or someone can turn it around as it could be best again in the state.
Carter Plantation has an excellent short game area also

Know you will really enjoy it - the get some pointers from the PGA Head Professional Alan Martell before you go out that day. Please let everyone know the experience you have there because it is way better than the comments. Take your time on the long drive in to slow down because the staff, clubhouse, practice area, food, service, new carts, GPS and golf course are going to delight you. Be careful what you hit off the tee and keep the ball in the proper quadrant on the green and you will be fine.
Be wary of the fairway bunkers and keep the ball below the hole as much as you can. You will feel like you are playing at Kiawa this weekend too! Closest course I know that compares to this PGA championship venue. My guys group won't go back there because they said it was too hard!!
Yes, Rock Creek is a fun course and the staff is excellent

Glad you liked it - it is hard to relay to folks how hard it is to putt fast greens that have a little slope. I enjoyed Shadow Ridge also and agree with your assessment!! I think we both will play better the next time. Jamie and the entire staff do a great job, it sure makes it more fun playing somewhere you feel welcome and the food is good and the beer is cold!

Tell the golf pro and tournament committee - always tell more than one person, in case it is a buddy!!
Contact Matt Tevsh at the Green Bay Country Club and he can answer all your questions and help you get lined up on a course. He helped me a few years ago on the trip I took for the game up there. matttevsh@hotmail.com

Just played there recently and the greens are scary fast. I consider myself a good putter and I putted off 3 greens. The tees, fairways, greens and even the bunkers are well kept but it is rough on the edges. It is imperative to keep the ball in the fairway, no matter what you hit off the tee. The uphill shots play much longer than you think. Be wary of the hazard on #2. The par 5's are all tough holes with lots of hazards. I did not score very well the first time I played there, but think I will do much better the next. Keep the ball in play, try to keep the ball below the hole and watch you speed on the putts and you will enjoy the course. The PGA golf professional there Jamie and the staff are all very helpful!!

Take a lot of time judging what to hit off the tees and the lines you take off the tees and into the greens. There is a lot of slopes that can kick you towards the hole or off the green. Was in great shape when I played it about a month ago and I'm sure it has gotten better with the warm temps, though they have had a lot of rain this week. Greens are much larger than they look from the fairway.
