Reviewed By MikeKerrey - Lincoln, Nebraska
Incredible layout in perfect condition. Fun but fair. Very quiet and beautiful. Great clubhouse and friendly staff. One of the best golf bargains for the value we have played. We played again after our first round just because it was so terrific. Some very memorable holes.

I started in the museum where you start with a short intro video. The tour guide explained the museum and then there was a tour of the house with another tour guide. Both tour guides were very good. Your free to walk around the gardens...MoreGlad you enjoyed the Biedenharn. We think we are a great place and are happy you felt it too. I will share your review with our staff!

5. Chemin-A-Haut State Park
Overall Ratings
4 based on 19 reviews
Reviewed By Julesfromlc - Lake Charles, Louisiana
In my opinion, Chemin-A-Haut is the best state park in Louisiana. It is located in a beautiful, secluded area of northeast Louisiana, very close to its border with Arkansas. It has quite a few cabins for rent. I have stayed in most of them through the years and found them all to be very clean and comfortable. It has several fun playgrounds for the kids, as well as a swimming pool. It offers great spots for fishing, as well as kayaks that you can rent. If you do rent a kayak, be sure to ask about where to find the very old and beautiful cypress trees on the bayou. It has a lodge that you can rent for events. It is the perfect location for family reunions.
6. Chennault Aviation and Military Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 109 reviews
Located in one of the last standing buildings from the World War II Selman Field Army Air Corps Navigation School, the Chennault Aviation & Military Museum highlights northeast Louisiana's impact on aviation and military history. Admission is always free. Exhibits feature weaponry, uniforms, photographs, documents and other artifacts. A growing collection of military aircraft is located outside. All branches of the U.S. military are featured, from World War I through the present day, and there are also exhibits on Selman Field (which trained over 15,000 navigators) and Delta Airlines (which was born in Monroe from a regional crop dusting service). An extensive exhibit is dedicated to the life and times of Gen. Claire L. Chennault (a northeast Louisiana native) and his Flying Tigers fighter group.

Very effectively presented exhibits, often "personalized" insofar as they relate to local service members. Good diversity, ensuring that visitors of all ages will likely be interested. Tour guide at time was quite excellent -- extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable. (Indeed, far better than the video.)

Louisiana's only drive through safari park. Wild Country Safari Park is over 300 acres of wild animal fun!!! We have over thirty species, a petting zoo, concession stand and picnic areas.
Reviewed By S D - Louisiana
My husband and I really enjoyed the park. Our tour guide loves those animals and knows each by name. You see wild animals like water buffalo, camels, deer, ostrich, kangaroo etc. roaming freely. You can feed them. Also a petting zoo. Very well kept.
8. Landry Vineyards
Overall Ratings
5 based on 65 reviews
Landry Vineyards was established in 1999 by Jeff, Libby and their four sons; Ethan, Kohen, Noah and Micah along with the loving labor of family and friends. The first grape vines planted were two acres of a white European American hybrid grape, Blanc Du Bois, with plans for 2003 expansion including a red grape, Cynthia/Norton. Landry Vineyards was licensed as a Louisiana Native Winery in 2003. The first vineyards were established in Folsom, La. where the winery was also located. Soon after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the Landry's used the storm opportunity to relocate to higher ground. They now reside in the beautiful hill country of West Monroe, La on a 20-acre site including a new winery, vineyards and beautiful tasting room. The Landry family strives to produce quality Louisiana wines that are distinctive to the region while complimenting the rich flavorful Cajun Foods of our French Acadian Heritage. Landry Vineyards wines may be purchased in 450 stores throughout Louisiana, from our website or by visiting Landry Vineyards in West Monroe, Louisiana.

Between approximately March and October starting in the late afternoon and ending in the early evening, Landry Vineyards hosts an outdoor concert series held on Saturdays. It is a great venue, outside on a hill overlooking the vineyards. Local musical groups play country, zydeco, rhythm-and-blues, funk and rock-and-roll. This venue is fun for everyone from toddlers to seniors and everyone in between.

10. Duck Commander Gift Shop
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By 478jerryf - WEST MONROE, United States
This place is easy to find--thru 2 stop lights off the interstate and you are there! Our friends and relatives that come into town always want to go to the store. They have purchased much of the property around the main building for a very large parking lot but also a couple of houses across the street. They generally have a big semi-truck trailer parked outside that has the Duck/Buck Commander logo and pics of the main characters in the TV show. It is a big store--looks just like the warehouse place with the Duck Commander sign outside you see in the TV series (everyone takes a picture in front of the sign). Lots of merchandise inside, mostly clothing from their various brands (e.g., Duck commander, Buck commander, & one I had not seen until recently--"Strut" Commander--turkeys ). Things range from cookbooks to Uncle Sy cups, to duck calls (of course), to things from Willie's daughters products, There are some places to get a picture with like a big Bear statue cut from wood (if I remember correctly). There are a few bargains like $5 t-shirts from various events (e.g., Stock Car race in Texas they sponsored). Most things are priced relatively reasonably priced (~$20-25 for a t shirt) and they do have some very inexpensive trinkets for kids and memorabilia. Never seen anyone from the show anywhere near the building but will occasionally see these folks around town. They can't go to the places they used to frequent due to the attention they draw. That said, they are generally very polite when people approach them and they are pretty much like they are on TV (except for Uncle Sy who can be very quiet for an extended period). In my opinion, these are generally good people who have done well with sharing their life and fun ideas with everyone and merchandised the fire out of their brands. If you are a fan of the show, then this is a great place to go to get a few things for yourself and gifts for others--5 stars. Just don't expect anyone from the show to be hanging around. My 3 rating is perhaps low based upon the fact that I generally have to take people there several times a year and it really is just a part of the big warehouse that has been turned into a storefront. You might be able to spend 30 minutes looking around if you want to see everything.
