Golf Club at Stonebridge


About this course
Golf Club at Stonebridge occupies rolling terrain in Bossier City, Louisiana, where Fred Couples and Gene Bates collaborated on a design that opened in the late 1990s. The course represents Couples' first significant design work in Louisiana and reflects the partnership's approach of routing golf holes through natural landforms rather than imposing dramatic artificial features. The property sits in the northwest corner of the state near Shreveport, where the topography offers more elevation change than the flat coastal plain that characterizes much of Louisiana golf. The layout moves through stands of mature pine and hardwood trees, with fairways that follow the land's natural contours. Water features appear on several holes, typical of the region's landscape, and the design incorporates strategic bunkering that rewards accurate approach play. The greens feature subtle undulation, and the course stretches to a length that accommodates contemporary tournament play while offering multiple tee options for recreational golfers. Stonebridge serves as a daily-fee facility and has hosted various regional amateur competitions and professional mini-tour events over the years. The course benefits from the northwest Louisiana climate, which allows for year-round play with bermudagrass surfaces that thrive in the warm, humid conditions. The Couples-Bates collaboration here emphasizes playability and natural aesthetics over severe hazards, creating a layout that fits comfortably within the piney woods setting of the Red River valley region.
