This is my local course, closest to my home (about 1/2 mile), so I am biased as to whether I woud drive far to play it...
The normal rate is $40 on weekdays, $50 on weekends; the $25 was a nine hole rate.
This course is tougher than the 127 slope it gets due to excessive amounts of OB. Lots of water, sand, and houses too. Not for the hacker who sprays a lot of shots, but overall not a bad course.
It is among the few courses in this price range in the New Orleans area (about 15-20 minutes from downtown) and the price is about the max you wouldd want to play for the course; however the layout is decent and the course is nice. Currently, frequent changes in our weather have made it hard to keep up with, so it is not in top shape - especially the greens which are hairy and have some disease on a few - but it is still worth the play.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
