Try your hand at 18 unique and challenging courses statewide.
Louisiana’s Audubon Golf Trail is a statewide series of pro-caliber courses offering challenging golf surrounded by the state’s music, cuisine and cultural offerings. Courses are in or near every major Louisiana city. The trail is named for John James Audubon, who painted many of his famous Birds of America series while living near St. Francisville. Here's a look at some of the courses you'll find and what they have to offer.
Audubon Park Golf Course
Just 10 minutes from the Caesars Superdome and the New Orleans central business district, the par-62 course is 81 acres of contoured fairways, multiple lagoons and exquisite landscaping set among more centuries-old live oak trees. The park offers not only golf but also hiking and biking trails and one of the South’s best zoos. It is the only golf course in America accessible by streetcar, and the same rail line is dotted with a variety of eateries, live music venues, museums, and art and antiques galleries.
Carter Plantation
East of Baton Rouge in Springfield is a 7,050-yard, par-72 course designed by PGA champion David Toms. The course traverses three distinct Louisiana landscapes — live oak flats, bald-cypress wetlands and upland pine forests.
Cypress Bend Resort
Sitting on Toledo Bend Reservoir west of Alexandria, 10 of the holes run along the 186,000-acre lake, and six holes involve hidden coves and bayous. The terrain is hilly with pines and hardwoods flanking fairways.
TPC Louisiana
This 7,600-yard, par-72 course in Avondale was designed by master architect Pete Dye. He created the course to sit low on the property and challenge players with not only bunkers and water hazards but also natural vegetation, including numerous bald-cypress trees. TPC is home to Louisiana’s only PGA event, the annual Zurich Classic.
LaTour Golf Club
Set along the banks of beautiful Bayou Lafourche, it features an 18-hole golf course designed by PGA tour champion David Toms. The par-72 course sits on 597 acres of beautiful rolling grasslands and lakes that add to the beauty and splendor of LaTour.
Bayou Oaks South Course
Featuring 18 holes of championship golf in New Orleans City Park, the pristine South Course was designed by renowned golf course architect Rees Jones and Greg Muirhead of Rees Jones, Inc., in association with Torre Design Consortium.
