THE COUNTRY CLUB OF LOUISIANA
🇺🇸 Baton Rouge, LA, USA
Designed by Jack Nicklaus

The Country Club of Louisiana opened in 1991 as a Jack Nicklaus design situated in the rolling terrain north of Baton Rouge. The course occupies a wooded property that features more elevation change than is typical for southern Louisiana, with fairways carved through stands of pine and hardwood. Nicklaus routed the layout to take advantage of the natural contours, creating a parkland character that distinguishes the course from the flatter terrain common to much of the region.
The design incorporates Nicklaus's characteristic strategic bunkering and large, undulating greens that reward precise approach play. Water comes into play on several holes, though the primary challenge derives from the combination of elevation changes, tree-lined corridors, and green complexes that demand thoughtful club selection and course management. The routing moves through varied topography, with holes playing uphill, downhill, and across slopes that add dimension to shot-making.
The club serves as a private facility for members in the Baton Rouge area and maintains a traditional country club atmosphere with full amenities including dining and social programs. The course has hosted regional amateur competitions and remains a fixture in Louisiana golf, representing one of the more prominent Nicklaus designs in the state. The layout continues to test accomplished players while offering multiple tee options that accommodate a range of skill levels.
