Golf & Culinary Trail
Golfers can be gourmands, too. What better way to experience Louisiana's delicious cuisine than through a round of your favorite game?
Day One
New Orleans
Arrive in New Orleans in time to play The Golf Course at Audubon Park. Home to more than 1,300 restaurants, New Orleans is truly an epicurean delight featuring cuisines blended with local cooking styles to create distinctive Creole and Cajun dishes that are original to the city, such as po-boys or crawfish etouffee. Dine at any number of great spots from fine dining to iconic sandwich shops. Overnight in a historic hotel in the French Quarter or a convenient hotel along Canal Street.
Day Two
Baton Rouge
Head east to Baton Rouge to play 18 holes at Santa Maria Golf Course. Eat at one of the many local seafood restaurants in Baton Rouge where you can dine on seafood gumbo or visit any of the eateries that have made the Capitol City a foodie destination. Get a good night’s rest staying in the heart of Downtown or at a convenient location right off the main highway to get you started early the next day.
