We ended up playing one up from the back cause one of the guys in our group is a short knocker.

The course is wide open, and I mean wide the frick open.


Did you expect Squire Creek elevation changes through some hardwoods and pines in the middle of a sugarcane field?

The greens have almost zero slope to them. They are perfect greens and have great shape to them but I found I rarely had to get the ball outside of the hole. Many people here were comparing them to Squire Creek which makes me think these people have never played Squire.


I've never heard of the slope of the greens or anything about LaTour being compared to Squire Creek and I have played Squire Creek, they are two totally different golf courses.

I can see how people were shooting 62 in the Monday qualifiers out there


Most Monday qualifier medalist on tour usually take 62-64 to win, I assume you broke the course record? If so congrats

Also, the pro shop and locker room are some of the worst I’ve ever seen for a course that’s trying to charge $100.


I see $68 in the morning and $36 after 3 on the tee time sheet online, not $100, you are also an idiot if you don't play it for the $50 special for May. The course has been open for a month and a half almost after being closed for over 2 years, I'd suspect the guy who just bought the property outright last week will develop it and build a clubhouse with a nicer shitter down the road, I don't think he purchased it to build a nicer WalMart for Raceland.

I definitely wasn’t expecting it to Squire like but also didn’t expect them to be Bayou Oaks flat. I was really expecting them to be more like TPC or ET. Now they rolled PERFECTLY which means more to me than anything.

Occasionally it takes 62 to qualify but that is rare. Typically in the 64-66 range. I had a terrible finish to shoot 71 and one of the other guys that played with us shot 70 and is a 2 hcp. Neither of us had ever seen the course. You can spray the ball almost anywhere and still have a shot.

The course has traditionally charged $100 but I’m glad to see they’re running some specials now, that is what drew is away from New Orleans.
