The Atchafalaya at Idlewild

I played Atchafalaya for the first time in several years. When i checked in the the staff failed to mention the course was nearly unplayable. A couple of greens were non-existent and burned out and several other greens were nearly unplayable. Tee boxes were also nonexistent - on every hole. Further, the amount of cut grass left on the edges of the fairways and in the rough made it impossible to find balls that were even slightly off the fairway. Front desk staff should inform patrons of the condition of the course. Not worth the price...and will not be back.

This was the worst golf course I have ever tried to play on!
We left after 5&1/2 holes.
This was once a good course, but it needs major maintenance improvements in all areas.
Really disappointing!!
I will not go back anytime soon!

I always enjoy this course but the second hole par 3 seems to be extremely neglected.

Most of the greens aren’t in good shape.
Two holes are completely closed so we had to play a couple of other holes twice
Love the course but would have been nice to know the condition of the course before.

I dont know if the problem is management, money, local politics or just incompetence but this course deserves better. If you're a greens keeper that can't grow grass in South Louisiana, you need to go do something else. The layout alone makes this course worth playing but it's heartbreaking to see how it's being maintained. The layout is tour level. It honestly could host a tour stop if it was maintained as well as Latour which is only an hour from here. I hope something is done to attract investors to this diamond in the rough because it has tremendous potential.

Also, the restaurant has great food, just needs to stay open longer on Sunday. 2pm is way too early to close.

Very scenic and pretty course. Raccoons steel your snacks so hide them in a backpack they can’t run off with. The tee boxes and greens need work on some holes. Overall fun round on a scenic course.

Staff were professional and friendly as always. Some tee boxes were all sand and they are losing some green surfaces on a few holes. Was a little crowded with a lot of twosomes. We were to players in our group so we joined up with the twosome in front of us on the 10th hole to make play faster.

Only was allowed to play the second nine and the greens were horrible.

Course is in great condition and I come play here most weekends. There is an extremely bad hornet problem on the course that has not been addressed. This is a huge safety hazard and I or anyone else should not play here until it’s fixed!!!!

Staff as always were very friendly and course was in great condition. Enjoyed a great day.

Course is wonderfull great fairways and greens
Love the new golf carts with touch screens and range finder

Course is very pretty. The greens are a lot better than last year and are looking like they are getting better everything I play. Love the restaurant! Great food and fair prices. Love the fact that they have gps on carts.

Atchafalaya has its ups and downs as far as greens go but they have definitely been upgrading and greens have been getting better and better this year. Definitely worth a play if you haven't played here before. Nice layout and pretty course.

Very reasonable green fees, nice range and practice greens. Course is in good shape except for a fee tee boxes. Staff is very friendly, bar and restaurant are great, but no food service on Mondays.
