Squire Creek Country Club

Squire Creek Country Club sits in Choudrant, a small community in north-central Louisiana near the city of Ruston. Tom Fazio designed the course, which opened in the late 1990s as part of a residential development in the piney woods characteristic of this region. The layout occupies rolling terrain with natural elevation changes uncommon in much of Louisiana's flatter coastal plain, and Fazio incorporated the property's existing streams and wooded corridors into the routing. The design features the hallmarks of Fazio's work from this period: generous fairway corridors framed by native vegetation, strategically placed bunkers with sculpted edges, and greens with subtle internal contours that reward precise approach play. Water comes into play on several holes, typically positioned to challenge longer hitters or create risk-reward decisions on par fives. The course moves through stands of pine and hardwood, with the natural landscape providing definition and a sense of seclusion between holes. Squire Creek serves as a private club for members in the Ruston area and surrounding parishes. The facility includes traditional country club amenities and hosts member competitions and social events typical of clubs in smaller Southern markets. The course represents one of the few Fazio designs in Louisiana, a state where golf development has been more limited compared to neighboring states in the Southeast.
