When i get past hole 2, i think about how hard 5-12 are going to be especially when the wind is blowing. I think holes 5-12 at the island will make or break your round. :banghead:

I think hole 11 at the island is one of the hardest par 4s in the state.
I think hole 2 can be broken down and played well strategically and consistently, but hole 11 is legit one of the hardest holes you could ever play especially if the wind is blowing off the right from the cane fields and moving it towards the OB

played island sunday afternoon with a 5some, wind was blowing but we had a good time. greens were rolling very well. can confirm course is in very good shape
If i had to guess, the greens will probably be a little faster on the weekends with maybe a cut and roll but i know they are overseeding and not stressing them too much yet so they can ramp it up for the tournament when the time comes.
TPC overseeds their greens this time of year the tournament coming up.
course is in the best shape it's been in like 15 years. was out there this weekend and played 36, DEFINITELY WILL BE BACK!

I know you said BR, but you should give my guy Jake Meddlin a shout at Stripe Show in Dallas. funny enough his family is from plaquemine and asks us to bring him cracklins and boudin from benot's when we make a trip over there.
He does all you're talking about and does it well. He wants to open up a location in baton rouge in the future DUDE IS LEGIT

Greens were aerated on the 28th and 29th, probably will be good to go by next weekend, but they are discounting green fees until then.
One of my worst memories was a couple years back in TN when i played and they didnt tell us greens were aerified CHARGED US FULL PRICE and it was TERRRRRIIIBBBBLLEE!!!!
love the island so much, cant wait till it's back in great shape. :nana: :bow:

I agree with that bro, I know some people out at the island and I heard them talk about the issue with the irrigation in the summer, greens were cooked when that happened as I played that week.
Course isn’t in bad shape at all right now, I play at damn near every course in BR, and the island is the second closest to Carter and UClub. Sure you have those bare spots on like 4-5 of the 18 holes but it isn’t bad.
Also complaint about the price… $70 for a weekend round… bro pay $25 at Webb and sit behind morons who are drunk and banging balls every where while you putt on essentially rocks. $70 is a steal for a weekend round nowadays. Or just stop complaining about courses and join up
Somewhere worth the money.
The island always has my vote, great staff, great pace of play, and always have available tee times. Not to mention the track is fun

The island is open today
You didn’t say that was their net score, so I misunderstood.
Getting an insane amount of shots to remove from your score is pretty cheesy

Groups were paired in 6somes when we played.
2 groups of 3 on each hole
2 groups of 3 on each hole
The group that shot 63 was not a group of 12s lol
It was the infamous Clayton brown and his buddies. Dudes are all +3 or better.
They also did have a group of 2 plus handicaps shoot like 4 over
