re: LaTour golf course closing

Yeah I didn't get that move at all. The only reason I can see is to have a definite steady income with membership fees but people not join clubs anymore.

Fancy expensive golf course with a couple of trailers for a club house.

Ormond is $150 a month golf membership. That includes the cart. You get charged $30 a month to restaraunt so it's really $180 but you can use that to buy beer, doesn't have to be food.

Yep still here. Gonna play more this year, I played like shite last year, donna see if i can shoot my age again should be easier, I'm 67

All of the golf courses in south central La are struggling. None are guaranteed to survive. Here is a story on Grand Ridge (formerly Willowdale) efforts.

Hopefully the economy will improve soon and they can all stay open.

The economy is not the issue why Grand Ridge is closing.

I can drive a few extra miles and play at TPC for cheaper.

I wonder how many people made the opposite drive? La Tour is an easy drive from Metairie & the West Bank. The course is nice enough to pull people from a more populated area looking to play a different course, especially if it isn't crowded. Do people from outside the area even know the course exists?

Closing in 2 weeks. Ole Schouest going belly up on this one.

Really? This was one of my favorite courses to play. They went private about a year ago and that seemed like a bad move at the time. What really sucks is that Sugarland is a goat ranch.

Where did you hear this?
