Old Oaks Golf Course in Haughton, Louisiana, was designed by Hal Sutton, the PGA Tour professional and Louisiana native who won the 1983 PGA Championship and represented the United States in multiple Ryder Cup competitions. Sutton turned to course design after his playing career, bringing a player's perspective to his layouts in the region. The Meadow course reflects his understanding of shot values and strategic options developed through decades of competitive golf. The course occupies land in northwest Louisiana, where the terrain transitions from the piney woods of East Texas toward the Red River valley. This setting typically provides gentle elevation changes and opportunities for tree-lined corridors, characteristics common to courses in the Ark-La-Tex region. Sutton's design work generally emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining strategic interest through green complexes and hazard placement that reward thoughtful course management. As a hometown designer, Sutton's courses in Louisiana often incorporate native vegetation and work with the natural drainage patterns of the land. The Meadow course serves the Haughton community and the broader Shreveport-Bossier City area, providing a daily-fee or semi-private option shaped by someone who learned the game in similar conditions. The layout offers golfers a chance to play a design informed by Tour-level experience adapted to the rolling, wooded landscape of northwest Louisiana.
