Golf.com Review: The main features of this course are the water hazards that come into play on fourteen of the eighteen holes. Most of the fairways are lined with trees that haven't matured enough to pose any real threat, but they are also bordered by a standard cut of rough, so shot accuracy from off the tees is still vital. Players must also battle the winds off nearby Lake Pontchartrain. The fast greens are large and some of them are quite undulating. "Golf Digest" rated this course as the 3rd "Best Public Course" in the state for 1996.
