If it was in primo shape, it would be worth more than $100. For the record, I’m counting primo shape as BRCC or CCL.

A course in that condition could command far more than $100 per round, and that does not factor in that it would have no competition, because it would be far nicer than any of the other available options. You would also have to imagine it would significantly thin out the crowds, which would make a piece of play much better. People are already paying close to that and driving to Springfield or Plaquemine. I believe that’s about what the bluffs used to be, and that was more than a 45 minute drive from the center of town.

If you were looking at it from strictly a financial point of view, dumping money into Santa Maria and raising prices would probably be the best thing for that golf course, but Brec is not looking at it from that perspective. They are using tax dollars to provide a service to the community. They are not trying to have a high-end public golf course, they are trying to serve the masses and provide affordable golf.


Can we get a consolidated thread? All the city park and brec complaining in one single thread. Even add the LSU closing. It's like 4-5 threads on essentially the same topic.

I'm cool with the topic and I'm enjoying the discourse. Just one thread would make it easier to follow.
Took my 11 year old. It was intense for her in spots, but overall, she really liked it.

I've often wondered how that would play. Could you find turf that reacted like a green with a 7i in your hand

You have to imagine they writing have to regrass everything. Are they cutting the grass still?
I want to add exterior lights to my house. I like both the ones that shine down and the ones that shine up. Which ones are considered nicer?
I go back and forth. I think it is perfect the way it is, because it serves as a cheap course that's easy for beginner golfers. But I would also love to re-work the greens and make them like Metairie's greens. Go in with some template greens that could really make a somewhat short course play a lot more fun for the more experienced golfer.

I need new spotify playlists

I listen to music at work so I've been cycling through the same playlists for too long. What is everyone listening to?

Genre doesn't matter to me, I'm down for anything new. Just need to find something new and interesting.
So many good architects, I wouldn't limit yourself to people with LA connections.

I hadn't played Greystone for a year or so and was shocked by how different the course feels with all of that blown out for housing. Had the same feel when Carter cut everything back too.

I heard they were trying to raise the rates and push it towards full private. Any truth to the @ell
Kiva was great over the 4th. Peninsula and GSGC looked good from the road.
This guy is flipping a 1979 house in Louisiana and documenting it on social media. It came up randomly and I've been following along for a few weeks. I enjoy content like this and since it is localish, I figured I'd share with the board.
