University Club

Very simple upgrades would make this course and facilities one of the best in the state of Louisiana. The locker room on the men’s sides need a really bad face lift , lockers are too small, not stained properly, and sitting is no where to be found . Could easily add TVs in locker room , bench seating needs to be purple n gold , carpet LSU purple , lockers need to be of normal size look at ( BRCC, CCL) , tall lockers, not enough LSU graphics, a few tables would help , cleaning could be better.
Pro shop has nice merchandise, could use more woman’s clothes , sets of clubs , Andre does a great job, young men behind the counter are excellent. Tee times are difficult at times during early mornings on weekends. Three or four more tournaments should be added to include a guest to half of them . No husband wife tournaments or couple tournaments , which is pitiful they don’t recognize this , needs to be scrambles 9 holes one or two tournaments, and a couple 18 hole couple tournaments.
Restaurant should be open for Dinner at night at least 3 days a week with nice entree meals. Larger Restaurant is a must , sitting is impossible after a tournament.
Expansion is a must , separate the restaurant from the pro shop , locker rooms . A covered breezeway on second floor , that goes from the top of Restaurant to top of pro shop, locker rooms , bath rooms without having to walk outside similar to New Orleans airport from parking garage to main airport.
Course ,practice areas , putting areas , carts etc.. no safe place to store clubs during the week , no one to clean them or clean shoes . There is only 3 private clubs in the area , go check the other two out.
I love it out here , just need some additional equipment and upgrades . No big deal.

Had the opportunity to play the University Club, the private club that is the home of the LSU Tigers golf teams. Don't let private fool you - this isn't an uppity stuffy club. It's like the people around it - down to earth.

The course is quite long from the tips, but offers lots of options for tee boxes. The third hole is a 673 yard par 5 with an insane forced carry across the water. The bailout is a narrow fairway cut with high grass right. Not for the faint of heart.

Probably the neatest feature of the course is it's quartet of par 3 holes. All are tremendously challenging and picturesque.

We played on a Thursday. It was busy but not packed. The course itself is very nice, the shot values are good. The layout is nice. The grasses were a little thin, particularly in the chipping areas. Greens are slick but pretty true.

Overall I found the course to be a good test of a golfer's game. Novice golfers would be highly challenged here with the forced carries and OB on a few holes, but for intermediate to skilled golfers, it's a nice test.
