A city proper with less than 250,000 population has CCLA and Baton Rouge CC. Is this on par with nationwide cities similar to the size of BR?

Well, only one of those is within the "city proper". The parish has 3 fully private clubs and has 440,000+ people. That's not a crazy number.

It easily sustains them. And I wouldn't think 2 is that many

Not a full country club, but don't forget about Bocage.

Springfield Missouri has a population of 160,000 in the city and a metropolitan statistical area population of about 450k (BR's is around 800k).

There are 4 country clubs within about 10 minutes of each other. They're like churches around here. People are always getting pissed off and changing affiliations.

I'd wager that there are many smaller towns in the South with 2 or more CCs

Shreveport does too. Not that difficult is you have a large golf/old money community. Hell, Shreveport has the new David Toms golf deal too. Not a country club but a damn expensive golf deal.
