Money Hill Golf & Country Club sits in Abita Springs, a small town north of Lake Pontchartrain in the piney woods of southeastern Louisiana. Designed by Ron Garl and opened in the late 1990s, the course occupies rolling terrain that is unusual for the region, with natural elevation changes that give the layout a character distinct from the flatter coastal courses found closer to New Orleans. The property takes its name from the local topography, and Garl routed the holes to make use of the wooded hillsides and natural contours. The design features a mix of tree-lined fairways and strategic bunkering, with several holes playing along or across elevation shifts that require careful club selection. Water comes into play on multiple holes, typical of Garl's work in the Southeast, and the greens are contoured to reward accurate approach shots. The course serves as the centerpiece of a residential community and offers a traditional country club experience for members in the Northshore area. Garl, a Florida-based architect who worked extensively across the southern United States, built a reputation for creating playable courses that incorporate natural site features without excessive earthmoving. Money Hill reflects that approach, using the existing landscape to create variety and challenge while remaining accessible to a range of skill levels. The club provides a year-round golf option in a region where the climate supports play in all seasons.
