Not sure what tournament you talking about but April 4th is when LaTour reopens.

Word I heard is membership will be $200/mo, $300/mo with carts.
Same thing I heard and the guy that owns ESH and bought it because he had a lot of money to spend or pay taxes on.

Well buying a golf course is a good way to show a loss

This rarely makes sense in practice. You spend a $1 and save $0.40 or less.

I also heard it was leased.

So is this place any good?

LaTour is one of the best courses in south Louisiana. The location makes a challenge to run, but It was hurt badly when the owner died right before it opened several years ago. I am glad to get another chance to play it.

The Monday qualifier for the Zurich Classic was held there. That should tell you enough but take it from somebody who's played both LaTour and TPC Louisiana several times...TPC's greens couldn't touch LaTour's. And there are a handful of posters here who can verify that.
It's a David Toms designed course that if the wind is blowing (and it's always blowing) it can play pretty tough.

Will it open for public play also?

I don't know but I would bet my pet alligator that it will.

it's good, but not gods gift to golf as if the locals on here would make you believe
i find it to be kind of bland, but it was always in good shape when i played

The greens are more consistent than TPC for sure
The people who say it’s boring want to see more trees and a clubhouse. It’s a pretty tough course that almost always has a 15 mph wind blowing

I get that a course in good condition sets it apart somewhat in the south. And maybe if it was in a better spot, people would have different things on which to focus. But overall, I have to agree with Croacka.

Thats not exactly what I meant if you're directing it at me. I've definitely played better layouts but the greens were always awesome. And the course is not very easy with the constant wind. On days when the wind doesn't blow, they somehow have at least a 5mph wind out there. And I've played it when there was a 3 club wind several times.
My reply earlier just meant to say it's tough but always in great condition. That's all.
