About this course

Riverlands Golf & Country Club sits in LaPlace, Louisiana, roughly midway between New Orleans and Baton Rouge along the Mississippi River corridor. The course occupies low-lying terrain characteristic of the region, where water management and elevation changes are engineered rather than naturally dramatic. Designed to serve the residential community that surrounds it, Riverlands reflects the practical demands of golf in southeastern Louisiana: dealing with seasonal rainfall, high water tables, and the flat topography common to the deltaic plain. The layout incorporates multiple lakes and drainage features that function both as hazards and as necessary infrastructure for a course built near sea level. Tree-lined fairways provide definition and some shelter from wind, with native species and adapted plantings framing holes. The design emphasizes accuracy over distance on many holes, rewarding players who navigate the water features and avoid the wetland margins that border several fairways and greens. As a private club serving LaPlace and the surrounding parishes, Riverlands functions as a social and recreational hub for its membership. The facility includes dining and event spaces typical of country clubs in the region. The course sees regular member play and hosts local tournaments and club championships, fitting the role of a community-centered club rather than a destination or championship venue. Its character is shaped by the realities of Louisiana golf: managing water, maintaining playability through humid summers, and providing a consistent experience for members year-round.

Getting there

Riverlands Golf & Country Club sits in the pastoral reaches of St. John the Baptist Parish, roughly forty minutes west of New Orleans via Interstate 10 - a drive that transitions from the city's urban sprawl into the quiet, moss-draped landscape of the Louisiana River Road. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) serves as the primary gateway, offering direct connections from major hubs across North America; those arriving by private aircraft will find proximity to smaller regional airfields, though most discerning travelers opt for the straightforward drive from the city. The final miles unfold through plantation country and along the Mississippi's gentle curves, where the club's manicured grounds emerge as an oasis of refined leisure amid the region's historic and natural grandeur.
