Beaver Creek, La.
Beaver Creek Golf Club: Only 20 minutes from downtown Baton Rouge off Hwy 61, BREC's Beaver Creek Golf Club is laid out on the rural plains to the north of Louisiana's state capital. It is located just over a mile from the site of the American Civil War Battle of Plains Store.
The course expansively weaves its way through a predominantly natural environment of woodland and wetland, and at times alongside relatively unobtrusive housing. An open, windswept, almost treeless front-nine gives way to a more sheltered and arguably more interesting back-nine, which offers up some tighter drives and a greater number of water hazards and wetland carries.
Several links-style pairs of holes are played in opposite directions alongside each other, or, as at the very good par-5 11th and par-4 12th, tightly flanking either side of a small lake. Another attractive pair of holes is the par-5 13th and par-4 14th, this time routed through a pleasant woodland/wetland environment.
On the more open front-nine loop, with its smooth mounding, gently rolling fairways and good quality bunkering, the par-4 5th and 7th holes arrive at the same, well-bunkered double-green.
A copious amount of large but relatively shallow bunkering lurks beside several fairways and around the large, undulating, good-quality greens. The long, closing par-4 18th is one such stylishly bunkered hole, played back to the modestly-sized clubhouse.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

Beaver Creek Golf Club is operated by the Recreation & Park Commission of East Baton Rouge Parish (also known as BREC, from Baton Rouge and RECreation).

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
