Clark Park Golf Course

About this course
Clark Park Golf Course is a municipal facility in Baton Rouge designed by Craig Schreiner and serving the local golfing community in Louisiana's capital city. The course operates as a public-access layout managed by the Baton Rouge Recreation and Park Commission, providing an affordable option for area golfers in a region where municipal golf plays an important role in recreational infrastructure. The routing occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Baton Rouge area, situated in the coastal plain geography of southeastern Louisiana. Schreiner's design works within these topographical constraints, and the course features the water management considerations typical of golf facilities in this low-lying region. Mature trees common to Louisiana landscapes—including live oaks, pines, and various hardwoods—frame many holes and provide definition to the layout. As a municipal course in a mid-sized Southern city, Clark Park serves a diverse membership base and hosts regular public play throughout the year. The facility functions as an accessible entry point for beginning golfers while offering a straightforward test for recreational players. The course reflects the practical design approach often employed in public golf projects, balancing playability with maintenance efficiency in a climate that supports year-round golf but also presents challenges related to heat, humidity, and seasonal rainfall.

Getting there
Clark Park Golf Course sits within the municipal fabric of Baton Rouge, accessible via Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport just fifteen minutes to the north, though most visitors arrive through Louis Armstrong New Orleans International - a comfortable hour-and-a-quarter drive west along Interstate 10. The route traces the elevated corridor above Louisiana's wetland expanse before merging into the city's sprawl along the Mississippi River bluffs. Clark Park itself occupies a quiet residential pocket on the city's eastern edge, where Mohican Street dead-ends into a layout that has served as Baton Rouge's democratic proving ground since the mid-century - a working municipal course where the game remains refreshingly unadorned.
