Patterson sits in the heart of Louisiana's Cajun Country, deep in the Atchafalaya Basin region — one of the largest river swamp systems in North America. The landscape here is defined by slow-moving bayous, Spanish moss, bald cypress, and the kind of flat, waterlogged terrain that makes golf course architecture both a creative and an engineering challenge. The course name itself tells you something about where you are: the Atchafalaya is not just a river but a living presence in this part of south Louisiana.
Idlewild's setting almost certainly means water is a recurring factor — not as a design gimmick but as a genuine reflection of the surrounding wetlands. Playing here is an experience shaped by the region's subtropical climate, warm and humid through most of the year, with a lushness that distinguishes Louisiana golf from courses just a few states north.
Patterson is a small, working-class community in St. Mary Parish, and a municipal or semi-public layout here serves a local golf culture that tends to value accessibility and a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere on the course.
