Carter Plantation is home to PGA championship and Louisiana
native David Toms' first signature design and the course
is the recent recipient of
Golf
Magazine's "Top 10 Courses You Can Play"
(PDF). The spectacular 18-hole, 7,000-plus yard, par-72
golf course winds through three distinct Louisiana landscapes
- live oak flats, cypress wetlands, and upland pine forests. |

Carter Plantation is an honored member
of the Louisiana Audubon Golf Trail. Following a strict
evaluation process including course playability, conditioning,
amenities and customer service, The Louisiana Golf Commission
moved to add the course to the nationally recognized
trail. As a member of the trail, Carter Plantation is
part of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary for Golf Courses,
a program dedicated to protecting the environment and
preserving the heritage of the game of golf. In addition
to meeting Audubon Golf Trail criteria, Carter Plantation
is equipped to professionally cater group and tournament
outings with expert PGA of American service standards.

The visually stunning daily fee
course has a Louisiana Golf Association slope rating
of 140 and a course rating of 74.4 from the championship
tees. Both the front and back nines consist of two par-3s,
five par-4s, and two par-5s. Eighty-six strategically
placed bunkers offer surprise and challenge to the golfer.
Carpeted with Tifeagle on the greens and Tifsport on
the rolling fairways, each of the holes offers four
or five tee positions, with water coming into play on
eleven of the holes. Great effort has been made to preserve
the plantation's native wildlife habitats, and indigenous
grasses and plants have been extensively incorporated
into the landscaping.
