If you're looking for a PGA golf course, this is probably not for you. If you're looking for a fun little golf course where you can take your kids and family and teach them the game of golf, then this is an excellent place. The staff is always courteous and friendly. They do tournaments occasionally, but for the most part, you can walk right in and get a tee time. A little bit older and has some pretty aged characteristics to it. Are going to be upgraded soon and I'm excited to see the new product with my family and a fun relaxing round of golf with no pressure and lots of memories being made. They have good hours and it's very convenient to play.

The people make you feel like one of them even if they don't know you. If you want to play a championship course, pay more at high end clubs. If you want to have fun with nice people, this is the place!

Live After 5 has been a BR event for decades now, highlighting local musicians and artists. Several food and alcohol vendors are set up if you need something, there's a VIP area, and the Davis Rhoer Plaza has a large lawn for seating. This year (Spring 2025), they have added some special touches, including presentations from the Baton Rouge Music Studio artists, young students who are learning to hone their skills showcase their talent for the attendees. Well behaved animals and children are welcome. They discourage you bringing your own libations, but just don't be obnoxious about it, and you're fine. Parking is all over downtown, the garage, the streets, lots (be sure you pay if you park in a lot). And then once the music wraps up, just head to any of the local bars as they usually have more live music to extend your day!

Plenty of seating with an upper and lower deck...The only thing that keeps it from a "5" is the lack of shade/cover.... However, the track itself as well as the field areas for throwing and jumping events is top notch!! If you find yourself here for an event remember an umbrella and sunscreen cause the sun exposure can be brutal... Great concessions for your nibble needs as well...

Very similar to the White Light Night Event (during the holiday season), it's free and something for the whole family to come out and enjoy. If you want to try to hit up the neighborhood from end to end, you may have to start as soon as they get going, map out all the businesses you are going to hit (with the help of the Yelp bookmarking feature) and time everything precisely. There is a lot to see, a lot to explore and so many awesome folks to meet. Tonight I met many influential people in the community including Mr. Mayor himself, Kip Holden, who is always a pleasure to run into. Don't forget to ride the shuttles to help you get from point A to point B. I know there are always a bunch of events happening in Baton Rouge now, but this is definitely one not to miss. I look forward to next year!

Kids love it because there is so much space to spread their wings and gear up knowledge of the stars, the moon and the planets. My daughter did a camp there during the summer and she got to launch a rocket at the end of the week. It's a wonderful place for family activities and a great way to educate the community.

Some years there are some really big names that come in, others it is more local talent exposed. I've tried to get down there every year, and it's fun to see how the event has blossomed. There are more local artisans selling down there now which is great. There are also numerous food trucks and vendors so you absolutely will not leave hungry. There are four stages where you can set up and catch all sorts of groups. It's a very friendly vibe all around. I did feel like there was a disconnect this year with communication. I did not see as much advertising around the city until the week of, and I know several past attendees who were not aware of the date and missed it due to scheduling conflicts. It was also not publicized more than a day or two in advance that the bike corrals would be there again with a safe spot to leave your bike if you chose to ride down there. I spoke to the group over that and they hadn't been given much notice either. I tried to ask a couple of questions on social media but the link it kept sending me to was either broken or I wasn't sure if it would send me where I needed to go. Overall, it's a great event that exposes you to lots of talent, and I do look forward to it every year!
