Old Oaks Golf Course

Old Oaks Golf Course in Haughton, Louisiana, was designed by Hal Sutton, the PGA Tour professional and two-time Players Championship winner who grew up in nearby Shreveport. Sutton turned to course design after his competitive career, bringing a player's perspective to his layouts in northwest Louisiana. The course opened in the early 2000s and reflects his understanding of shot values and strategic options developed through decades of tournament golf. The property occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the region, with mature hardwoods framing fairways and providing definition to the routing. Sutton's design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating enough strategic interest to challenge better players. The layout takes advantage of natural elevation changes and existing tree cover, creating a parkland character common to courses in this part of Louisiana. Old Oaks serves as a semi-private facility in the Haughton area, located just east of Shreveport and Bossier City. The course provides a local option for golfers in the region, combining Sutton's design approach with the natural landscape of northwest Louisiana. The setting offers a traditional golf experience within the piney woods and oak-studded terrain that defines much of the area's topography.
