With Winged Foot logo getting some play this week, I started thinking about some of the great logos, like Pasatiempo, Olympic, etc. Then it got me thinking about local logos and how almost every Baton Rouge area course has a terrible logo. Below are the logos how I would rank them:









































I wouldn't even call these two "logos"






But there isn't a decent logo in the bunch, except for maybe BRCC. Setting up a golf logo shouldn't be too difficult. Look at the great logos and mimic them to some extent. I can't be the only one who thinks Baton Rouge, pound for pound, may be the worst logo town in America.

I can honestly say I have never given a golf course's logo a single thought.

When you like to occasionally buy hats From courses you start to notice it Beaver Creek is one of my favorite courses but man that logo is bad. Looks like clip art

Golf course logos are notoriously bad, especially the older / classic courses. Exceptions to the rule, but usually very bad. I'm a graphic designer, so I do notice and pay attention to all logos. Just Google "best golf course logos," really disappointing.

Pine Valley, one of the highest ranked and most exclusive course in the US has a crap logo. Looks like a scouting merit badge.

It isn't great, but I don't hate it.

I think a great logo is a picture of something related to your course that is so distinguishable from other logos that words aren't needed.

If the picture is really cool, it moves up the list.

UClub had the world at its fingertips and missed. Just the tiger head with university club underneath it would've been much better

The Island isn’t bad.


Metairie CC has the best one in South Louisiana IMO

The BR area has some really shitty logos. Pine Valley is a classic. I like it. I think UClub messed up with that Tiger head being crooked, not sure why they thought that was a good idea

I like the Lafayette area logos for the private clubs...




I prefer Le triomphes when they just use the arc de triomphe and remove the words

I saw on Google where the Bluffs used just the flower as the logo. That would be really good. But I've never seen it without the words.

If a golf courses logo has a golf ball replacing an O, it's automatically shite in my book
