The Atchafalaya at Idlewild

played here some time at the end of summer and greens were horrible and in some cases non existent. However this round was a much better experience, there were some greens that have a few issues but not even close to as bad as a couple months ago, they are doing a great job with the winter greens.

Had a great time at the course today. Tee boxs are in good shape and seems like the grounds keepers are working diligent at setting up new tee boxs, so there are temp boxes in place. Very wide fairways with lots of blind doglegs. Even have a big cypress knee in the middle of the fairway for 150 marker on most par4s and all par5s. Bunkers are powdery sand, and supprisingly not that hard to get out of. The greens however are in very bad shape with lots of crabgrass and just missing grass in large patches. Buuut the greens are rather soft and a bit slow so if u can hit them the ball will stop on a dime. I think we just need some rain which we have NOT been getting this summer. Also see alot of wildlife. Theres also some great restrooms throughout the course and the clubhouse / resturant is top notch. Staff is awsome to deal with every time! Looking forward to my next visit.

This amazing course is slowly coming back to what it was meant to be. Fairways and traps were great. Some tee boxes are under renovation and a couple greens need to be done. Greens were fast and are mostly bouncing back from disease last year. Hopefully the progress keeps moving in the right direction.

The greens were in horrendous conditions, which is a shame because the course itself has the potential to be gorgeous. There was maybe two greens that were in decent conditions…

It has been hot and dry, but the greens were extremely slow and bumpy. Two greens were under major repair and the holes were placed in front of them on the fairway. The fairways were hard (expected with the dry conditions and extreme heat), but they had good grass on them. Love the layout of this course, so it would be great if the condition was at least average or better.

This course has my favorite layout of any course in the Acadiana area. The greens were slow and hairy but I believe it is for the upcoming warmer months and more players. Fairways are great! Had issue with cart, but someone came with a replacement before we left the green.
I for sure plan to go back in a month or two to see the turnout of their planned progress.

Course conditions were In fantastic shape. Much improved from last golf outing there. Thank you for attending the issues. Green were in great condition. A bit slow but understandable.

You can’t beat the character of this golf course. The setting and layout are special with a good bit of the course having private surroundings. However the course itself needs some TLC. Tee boxes given a D- with many of the markers missing. Bunkers given a C- to D grade for lack of fill and grooming. Fairways given a B grade for just being a little bare and hard in places but satisfactory otherwise. Greens given a B- to C grade for being soft and slow with some having patches of bare spots. Can’t help but be disappointed when one knows where this course was at one time when it was in its prime. Currently, if you can play it in the $30 range, it is worth it.

Course is great only problem is golf carts hardly any have range finders on them

Carts did not have GPS as advertised. Greens haven't been mowed in days to weeks and were impossible to putt. There were two temporary greens that were impossible to play. This should have been stated online. Greens fees should have been extremely discounted due to the poor conditions. On the positive side, the club house and restaurant were very nice!
