about the South louisiana golf course

Carter Plantation is home to PGA champion and Louisiana native David Toms’ first signature design and the course was a 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 133 and a course rating of 73.9 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.

A double-ended driving range, three practice greens, and practice bunkers are additional features of the course.
