The staff was very friendly and the course was in excellent condition, especially for it being so early in the season. The course is on the shorter side, but it isn't a push over. Lots of good angles and shots that require you be creative. If you have trouble moving the ball definitely bring plenty! I hit the ball decently far, but that's not required on any of the holes. Hitting it far actually got me into trouble a few times. A thinkers course for sure. Such a fun course and an excellent value!

That's not a bad price at all! The golf shop is small, but you shouldn't expect anything bigger for a town with 1,300 people. I'll give this place five stars for the well maintained course, friendly staff, and easy access to the course itself.

We were extremely disappointed in the La Plata golf course. Expensive $80 fee for two of us to play…read more18 holes w/cart on Good Friday. 4.5 star Spirit Hollow in Burlington, IA with superb bent grass fairways and greens is cheaper as we only paid $70 for 2 of us to play! Fairways at La Plata were sparse w/grass and the greens were small, hard, and poorly maintained. Several greens had bare spots and deep lines scored in them from improper mowing. When you weren't putting over the rough spots, they did roll true. Tee boxes were full of weeds and in below avg shape, markers weren't put on both sides of tee box, and no water in any ball washers. Sand traps were not mowed, trimmed, raked or properly maintained. The sand was hard. Yardage markers in the fairway weren't trimmed or freshly painted - so they were not easy to see. The topography, sight lines, and layout of La Plata is average. Sun Valley in Elsberry and Eagle's Bluff near Clarksville both have better layouts & topography and both offer spectacular sight lines compared to La Plata. The shots over water into #10, the second par 5, and the par 3 on the back nine are scenic and challenging. Battery powered Club Car died in the middle of the back nine. The lady and young girl at clubhouse were very nice. Overall, very disappointing for the drive and price so we won't be returning.

There were a lot of dry spots and dark green fungus spots on the greens. The golf carts would lock up in the middle of the fairway and wouldn't let us drive, when we were 150 yards out.

Dead spots everywhere on the property, including some prominent ones on the greens.

Honestly, it's been really hard to see its decline over the last several years, with such great potential if it were well maintained
