Has anyone played this lately or within the last few months? We live in Bossier and have played everything around here including Pine Dunes, Mystic Creek and Tempest and want to play somewhere different Friday. It's pretty cheap but pics look nice but they can be deceiving.

I hear Mystic is incredible. Better than Squire.

I've played Squire before too and both are awesome but I'd have to give the edge to Squire but Mystic is harder. Played Mystic last Friday for the 4th time and I finally broke 90, chipped in for birdie on 18 to shoot 89, I'm a 7.3hcp and that place kicks my butt. Over 7500 from the tips, I played from 6700. Tight tree-lined fairways, lots of water and almost impossible green complexes, I seriously don't know how people shoot under par there.

Played Squire many years ago. It was rough with the wind. Wanna get on Mystic this year at some point.

Mystic is a good track but it is nowhere near the luxury of Squire. Mystic is very difficult and so is Squire. But when you get to what a elite CC is supposed to be Sqiure is unbelievable.

When you find out / go play TGR report the conditions, I've always been curious about this one as well.

Played it last Friday. Wasn't in the best shape, fairways not bad, bunkers were awful and a few greens weren't up to snuff but for $35 cart included, not a bad place. Some of the holes were visually stunning right beside the lake and there seemed to be a lot of blind tee shots. Pretty hilly course and tight tree-lined fairways with thick underbrush, if you hit it off the fairway, you're on trouble. I bet when this place 1st opened ot was awesome since Hank Haney , Tiger Woods old coach, helped develope it. Id probably go back and play again sometime for something different. I wouldn't say it's a must play, its a play it if you're in the area and want a fun cheap couse to play.

It absolutely is. It's a shame, Olde Oaks used to be so good. I was a member when it first opened. Hal had an office in the pro-shop, and he and Freddie would hit the range and the Meadow course almost every day. Hal had is bag full of Srixon balls and would hit them out on the range and Freddie would be out there picking them up. It was amazing how well he struck the ball and all of them would be in a tight grouping, so they were easy to pick up. It's not like Mystic Creek to where you're done you say to yourself, I have to come back and play here but if you're in the area it's not a bad place at all. I wouldn't drive an hour and a half again just to play it.

I get that but we like to switch up the rotation, especially since there's only 3-4 decent public courses in SHV/Bossier and they're normally packed to the gills. So we don't mind the occasional drive to arcadia, Arkansas, Texas to play something different.

Go hit Tempest.

Took my golf cart over to the Oaks nine and drove the whole nine for memories sake. Actually hit some tee shots and irons into the "greens" 
When I pulled up to #4 tee I was like wtf this is actually being cut. On #5 I see three dudes out there cutting and working. Drove up and talked to him and he said they were working on in it and they were thinking about putting in artificial greens on that nine.
Man that nine was so fun.

How does Tempest compare to Mystic?
Posted on 1/7/26 at 3:40 pm to LSU5508
When we played tempest and it wasn't in that great of condition a year or so ago.
That being said, I would say IMO Mystic is better than tempest in almost every way golfing wise (if you don't mind hard courses).
If we're factoring in price and driving, from where I live then tempest better in those aspects.

If yall want to play one nicer than all of the ones mentioned let me know. Texarkana Country Club is top 3 in Arkansas. Guest rates are pricey though. But worth making a day out of it. It'd be the nicest course in Louisiana.
I personally don't care for Mystic. Condition is great, no denying that, but it's too gimmicky for me.
