Slidell, LA · 25 mi away

Oak Harbor Golf Club sits in Slidell, Louisiana, near Interstate 10 and about 25 minutes from downtown New Orleans, on a site crossed by bayou waterways. Architect Lee Schmitt, who worked under both Pete Dye and Jack Nicklaus earlier in his career, laid railroad ties and bulkheads along many of the water hazards, a style reminiscent of Dye's work. The 18-hole layout opened in 1992 and includes four reachable par 5s along with a mix of shorter and longer par 4s; water comes into play on roughly a dozen holes. Generous fairways are balanced by well-bunkered, elevated greens that demand an accurate approach. Oak Harbor plays to a par of 72 at around 6,885 yards from the back tees and operates as a semi-private club with a clubhouse, snack bar and outing services for both members and public play.

Carter Plantation Golf Course is part of a resort community in Springfield, Louisiana, bordering the Blood River. The 18-hole, par-72 layout stretches to more than 7,000 yards and was the first golf course design by PGA champion and Louisiana native David Toms. The course moves through live oak flats, cypress wetlands, and upland terrain. It has hosted the Blood River 4-Ball tournament among other events.

Bayou Oaks at City Park is a public golf complex in New Orleans' historic City Park, where golf has been played since 1902. Hurricane Katrina forced a complete closure in 2005, and the South Course reopened in 2017 following a redesign by Rees Jones and Greg Muirhead of Rees Jones, Inc., in association with Torre Design Consortium. The 18-hole, par-72 South Course plays to 7,297 yards from the back tees with 46 bunkers and multiple water hazards. The North Course, the only original layout to survive Katrina, reopened in 2008. The facility is owned by New Orleans City Park and operated by the Bayou District Foundation.
