The Lakes at Pelican Point Golf & Country Club is a semi-private facility located in Gonzales, Louisiana, approximately twenty miles southeast of Baton Rouge in Ascension Parish. The course occupies land characteristic of the region's low-lying terrain, where water management and strategic routing around wetlands and natural drainage areas shape the playing experience. The layout incorporates the lakes and waterways that give the course its name, with several holes requiring carries over water or playing alongside ponds and retention areas that are both functional and integral to the design. The course serves the growing residential and golfing community in the Baton Rouge metropolitan area, offering a combination of member and public play. Gonzales sits in a region where golf courses must contend with the challenges of Louisiana's climate and topography—minimal elevation change, high water tables, and warm, humid conditions that favor certain grasses and maintenance approaches. The Lakes reflects these regional characteristics while providing a playable layout for a range of skill levels. Pelican Point functions as a country club with amenities beyond golf, including dining and event facilities that serve both members and the local community. The course fits within the tradition of Louisiana golf venues that emphasize accessibility and year-round play, taking advantage of the state's mild winters. For golfers in the Baton Rouge area, it represents a local option that balances the demands of serious play with the social and recreational aspects of country club life.
