Gonzales, LA · 40 mi away
Pelican Point Golf Club is set behind the historic Houmas House Plantation in Gonzales, Louisiana, along the Mississippi River corridor south of Baton Rouge, on land that was formerly a sugar cane farm. Developer Douglas Diez opened the Links course in 1998, with design work credited to Ferris Land Design, blending a British links look with Louisiana scenery and roughly 30 acres of lakes. A second nine, the Lakes course, followed in 2002. The Links layout offers generous fairways, large greens and several tee options, with a par-5 16th playing to an island green among its more notable holes. The club operates as a semi-private facility surrounded by residential development, offering members and outside guests access to golf, a restaurant and other amenities.
