Southern Trace at Southern Trace Country Club

Southern Trace Country Club occupies rolling terrain in south Shreveport, where Arthur Hills routed eighteen holes through mature pine and hardwood forest in the mid-1990s. The course opened in 1995 as part of a residential community development, representing Hills's approach to working with natural elevation change and wooded corridors. The design takes advantage of the property's undulating topography, which is more pronounced than typical northwest Louisiana terrain, creating holes that move through valleys and along ridgelines.

Hills incorporated water features on roughly half the holes, with ponds and creeks influencing strategy on both par threes and longer holes. The routing includes several doglegs that follow the land's natural contours, and the tree-lined fairways require accuracy from the tee. Greens are moderately sized with subtle to moderate undulation, characteristic of Hills's work during this period. The course plays from multiple tee sets, with the back tees stretching beyond 7,000 yards.

Southern Trace serves as a private club for its membership and has hosted regional amateur competitions and Louisiana Golf Association events. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that overlooks the finishing holes. The course remains a notable Arthur Hills design in the Ark-La-Tex region, where championship-length layouts with significant elevation change are relatively uncommon given the area's generally flat to gently rolling topography.
