4:45 on a gorgeous weekend day on a public course that’s COPO and you think that was bad?

Is this a joke? It might be the worst draining course I’ve seen.


CCLA

Well they did a lot of french drain work in the early 2000s so it may be better

I was able to get out there today. It’s unbelievable how dry it was. There were a few wet spots that caught me off guard (chunk!), but overall it was very dry. Thanks for the recommendations, guys.


Back when I belonged there 15 years ago or more, it could rain 3” in the morning and by the afternoon you would never know it rained. Drained incredibly well.

Most of the golf course designers that built courses in Louisiana knew that the average rain fall was around 60 inches, so most courses in the area are designed to drain as fast as possible. Most of the newer courses focused on making the greens drain faster.

Nevertheless, this is Louisiana, drainage depends on a multitude of things. Outside temperatures, previous rain days, nearby creeks, bayous, rivers, they all tend to figure in. Also, rainfall in some parts of town differ, this place is one of the weirdest places I have ever experienced, but it does seem it rains more in Zachary and Prairieville and Brusley.

The best way to go about this is not to rate which course drains the best, but the one that drains the worst. Go from there and as you start getting two or three courses up the list, pick one of those and you will likely break even in your selection.
