CATS employees get arrested and BREC immediately lays off 10% of its workforce. There are no coincidences.
these cuts have been planned for a while. Don't think the two are related.

I just cant imagine a place like that getting more than 150 members. The population is just too sparce up there
Last conversation about membership I had with the manager she told me she was close to 300 members. And that was before they broke ground. She also didn't define "close" lol. But that was the number she wanted.

I don't know if this will work, You have to be a pretty high end course with a good location to survive on Members only in Louisiana. There have been many in the BR area that started with the same intention but had to shift to semi private.
I'm only passing on what I recall being told. Don't think its out of the realm of possibility that things could change. Especially if the ownership changes. But I'm fairly certain they want to make it a members only course. And the manager has conveyed a lot of confidence that they can do it. Time will tell.

and inasmuch as North US61 runs through the NBR hood, expect absolute opposition from the minority residents of the area to any such improvements to infrastructure.
See I49 in Lafayette between Willow and Pinhook for reference.

nope, you're the first person who ever thought of this. And the first person to mention it here. Look into it and get back to us.

I'm assuming the course will be open to the public?
negative. Members only once the reno is complete. They told us what membership would cost at one of the meetings, but I can't remember what they said. I do recall the consensus being it was very reasonable and no one was complaining or clutching pearls.
They just replaced the cart fleet recently and will be adding GPS units to the carts for geofencing around the greens. The new pool is pretty cool. More of an activity pool as opposed to a lap pool. The pool house is fine AF.
Been fun watching it undergo its changes. They are taking out a shite ton of trees. I'll pour one out for that fricking pecan tree on hole 4. That thing was a magnet for my ball most rounds.

Jim Moore. Very deep pockets. Think he told me he has about $18M invested so far. Not done yet. Announced he will be sodding all the new fairways as opposed to seeding them in.
Projected reopening date is September '26. We've had some member meetings regarding course design and progress. If its half as nice as projected, its going to be impressive.

My wife is seriously contemplating this move. I do not know much about this town. I need help.
where is the house located? If its south on LA 69, down towards Bruly-
St. Martin, it may not be as bad. But if its closer to town or in town, thats going to require some serious discussion.
Go drive there and see for yourself. There is absolutely nothing there and its not convenient to anything.

Southland is TV at it's finest and most cinematic. Brilliant acting and writing!
fair assessment and I don't get that complimentary about TV shows very often.
Will never understand why TNT cancelled it. OR how it didn't make the cut on NBC. Guess it wasn't woke enough for the raging agenda driven shows like Law and Order.
