The Hammond Golf center. It was a 9 hole course and driving range near North oaks hospital. Course was very low quality. It's been closed for several years.

Bayou Bomber/Fox Run in Bossier. Barksdale Air Force Base golf course. Has only been closed for a year or two now. Had 10 different names over the years but those were the two most recent.
I worked maintenance there for years as a teen into my young 20s (20+ years ago).
The AFB couldn't have given two shits about that course. The only way anything ever got done or upgraded was if the commander in charge at the time was a golfer. Sucks to see it let go.
The superintendent I worked for was an awesome guy who I am still good friends with, he always said "one day this is going to be leveled for base housing".

When I started this thread a month ago I was racking my brain trying to think of the nine hole Par 3 course in Shreveport off Flournoy Lucas and Youree. Had a driving range and it seemed like putt putt as well. Just found it... Champion Links. That had been driving me nuts for a month 
Yea I don't ever see it coming back to life. Talked to an air force guy that just retired that played there and he said a military golf course has to make money to stay open. Safe to say that place wasn't making money. There was rarely anybody on it.
The par 5 out by Barksdale Blvd is one of the dumbest par 5's ever. Dog leg is so close to the tee box you had to hit a dang 7 iron off the tee unless you could rope a massive draw around.

Champion Links
God Champion Links was so awesome. I remember my mom dropping us off as young teenagers and playing 27-36 holes until we couldn't swing anymore.
When I got serious about golf, I played Olde Oaks in its prime (this was 2007-ish) about 4-5 times a week. I loved the atmosphere, it didn't even feel like it was in south Bossier when you were out there...............Then I had kids.
Also cant forget about the OG Goat Ranch. Meadow Lake in Keithville.

How old are you? We have some of the same experiences. I'm 39, grew up in Bossier.
Man Olde Oaks in it's prime was a really nice golf course. I would have taken it over East Ridge and Southern Trace around that time. Oaks nine was probably my favorite and unfortunately that's the nine they closed. Haven't been out there in a year or two.

38. From SOBO. Live in Benton now.
I sold my clubs roughly 10 years ago when I just couldn't play enough to stay consistent and not rage every round. My last round was a Sunday afternoon at Olde Oaks. Sprayed a few and it was frick this shite o'clock.
ETA: Looking to ease back into it with the Chasing Aces par 3 9 hole though.

Been about a year since this thread and LSU Golf Course closes to the public tomorrow, so we added another to the list.
Anybody know of any other closures in the past year or that are missing from the list?

Riverdale was in Donaldsonville Not Plaq

I mentioned that the golf course at LSUA might be closed. It looks like it is from the highway. I haven’t been by the old clubhouse, but there is a lot of construction on what was the course.
I also saw that Sugar Oaks in New Iberia is now closed. I do not have a confirmation on that.
I also mentioned this in another thread, but by my count there are 126 courses in LA. This includes 2 at Beau Chene & Bayou Oaks.

LSU right now is in the best shape it’s been in years.

It's been so long but I think it was Riverdale in Donaldsonville. I played there multiple times on a junior golf tour. Near the base of the Sunshine bridge. Pretty sure it's a cattle field now.

May have won the Cajun (or was it Crawfish) 4 ball there a time or two
Good times

Riverdale GC in Plaquemine
As others have stated, that was 100% in Donaldsonville.
I have very fond memories growing up there. I swam like a fish every summer there, learned to play golf with my dad and cousins there, and even got my first ever job there as a lifeguard later on.
Such a shame it burned down. They were looking for an excuse to close and refused to rebuild, just put up a fricking double-wide trailer and build a deck onto it, then they ran it into the ground financially after that until it finally closed, I think in 2008 if I recall correctly.
Riverdale was awesome and is missed tremendously.
