About this course

Chateau Golf & Country Club sits in Kenner, Louisiana, a suburb immediately west of New Orleans along the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain. Designed by Frank Burandt and opened in the 1960s, the course occupies relatively flat terrain typical of the greater New Orleans metropolitan area, where elevation changes are minimal and water management becomes a central design consideration. The layout reflects the practical demands of building golf courses in this low-lying coastal region, where drainage canals, retention ponds, and natural waterways often define playing corridors and strategic options. The course serves a private membership drawn largely from the surrounding Jefferson Parish communities. Like many clubs in the New Orleans area, Chateau functions as a social and recreational hub for local families, with golf integrated into a broader country club lifestyle that includes dining and other amenities. The flat, parkland character means tree-lined fairways and water hazards provide most of the definition and challenge, rather than dramatic landforms or elevation-based shot values. Burandt's work in Louisiana during this era typically emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural hydrology of the region. Chateau reflects these priorities, offering a straightforward test of accuracy and course management suited to the local climate and landscape. The club remains a fixture in Kenner's recreational landscape, maintaining its role as a neighborhood country club in the New Orleans metropolitan golf scene.
