fwiw, I'd be all for paying more at places like Webb and City Park if it meant that they'd make course improvements, better maintenance, and probably green renovations as well.



That was my point.

You said Baton Rouge golf is underrated for the prices, but you are paying $30 to basically hit shots to a green. There is no putting, almost every green is wrecked. I would rather pay the $80 and actually play golf.

Not sure why you're pretending Webb is the only course around town. Sure, I wish their greens were in better shape, but they are what they are until they do major renovations. Until then, Webb and City Park are great for getting out for $11 after work and getting some swings in.

Meanwhile, you can pay $50 and play great golf at The Island, Beaver Creek, Santa Maria, and hopefully Copper Mill when they reopen. There's also Greystone, Pelican Point, the new Clark course, and Carter Plantation is a great track within driving distance. Plenty of "actual" public golf in good/great condition around Baton Rouge that's reasonably priced as well that you can play all year long unlike literally half the country. That is my point.

Honestly, the worst part about Baton Rouge golf is the golfers themselves.
