About this course

TPC Louisiana stands as a testament to Pete Dye's enduring influence on the modern game, a design that embraces the flat, bayou-laced terrain of Westwego. It's a shotmaker's course rather than a bomber's paradise, rewarding strategic play over brute force, with subtle undulations and strategically placed bunkers demanding thoughtful club selection and precise execution. The course rewards those who can strategically maneuver the ball and penalizes those who spray the ball with reckless abandon. Dye, alongside associate Tim Liddy, crafted a layout that embraces the natural wetlands, incorporating water hazards and native grasses to create both visual drama and strategic challenge. While not consistently ranked among the nation's elite, TPC Louisiana holds a significant place in the professional game as the host of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, a unique team event on the PGA Tour, showcasing the camaraderie and competitive spirit of the sport. The course underwent renovations led by Steve Wenzloff, enhancing its playability and aesthetics for both tour professionals and everyday golfers. Beyond the golf, TPC Louisiana fosters a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, reflective of the region's hospitality. While the club doesn't boast the storied history of some of its peers, it has etched its own unique identity in the landscape of professional golf, providing a stage for memorable moments and a challenging test for players of all levels. The course also holds a local lore for its spicy boiled crawfish, a favorite among members and tournament participants alike, adding a taste of Louisiana's culinary heritage to the golfing experience.

Getting there

The journey to TPC of Louisiana begins at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, a quick twenty-minute drive west across the Mississippi River into Avondale. The route follows the elevated curve of the Crescent City Connection before descending into the industrial-turned-residential landscape of the West Bank, where the urban sprawl gradually opens into the flat, humid expanse of Louisiana's river country. As you approach the club, the surroundings shift to manicured fairways and wetlands, offering a quiet contrast to the lively energy of New Orleans just across the water - a secluded championship venue within easy reach of the French Quarter's storied streets.
