This was inevitable. I worked there for 5 years. The surrounding neighborhood was just too much to overcome. The layout was charming, but outdated. The course was drowning in trees, which kept the conditions from being better. The shade and root issues kept the grass from growing properly. It really is a shame it turned out like it did.
They had some real money out there at one time. The best solution, to me, was to blow that place up and move the course to south Shreveport and start a "new" club with the same name that could have given Southern Trace and East Ridge a run for their money. There were the financial means (really rich dudes) to get it done, but they just kept wanting to revive or rescue something that just wasn't viable. Oh well, RIP SCC!
