Enjoyed

Tee to green will challenge you for sure. As with all courses in the area, some rain is needed ()cracks in fairway. Green were fair as far as pin placement and contours with a fast roll. Nice round

Poor condition

I dont know if the course is always like this, but the only good part was that the greens were in decent shape. The tee boxes were so hard you couldn’t get a tee in half of them. The huge bare spots were impossible to hit off of, unless you like hitting off concrete. It was very disappointing.

Fun coirse

Front 9 was very wet in some spots from the tidal surge. The green room very fast and smooth but they are very hard. The ball does not check very well. Fairways are thin.

Bayou review

Front nine is in rough condition. Mud in fairways, greens in 6 out of 10 shape. It got better on back nine. A decent course, but with it’s close proximity to salt water, it tough to keep in good condition. Won’t be on my list of courses to play.

Lots of water

Water is not my friend. The course is in a beautiful location. The back 9 was closed because they are working on it. The front 9 had alot of water with some sand traps. The putting greens are nice.

Disappointed

I was looking forward to playing the 18 hole course but was informed when I arrived that only the front nine was open and I could only play that when I payed for 18 holes not nine holes.

Terrible fairways

Every fairway on the front 9 that is along the water is unplayable because they are 75% mud. I didn't get a chance to play the back 9 as it was closed for repairs. I do have to say all the greens were in good shape and were pretty quick.

Overall, worth the Hot Deal price I paid.
