Copper Mill
Copper Mill Golf Club: Although part of a well-developed residential community, Copper Mill exudes a predominantly natural feel, based on its quiet location, excellently crafted holes and Scottish-influenced linksy character. The two nine-hole loops each comprise three par-3s, three 4s and three 5s.
The layout attractively weaves its way past the housing (always set well back), while much of the course is routed through open fields of native grasses, where it passes many centuries-old live oaks. Generally retaining an linksy-openness, the dune-like mounding, stretches of quite penal rough and stylish pot bunkering really capture the spirit of Scottish links golf.
The golfing landscape is also home to several small lakes and ponds, ensuring water is in play on at least half the holes. At the par-4 5th, 60 yards before the green, Cypress Bayou slices across the fairway, and then threatens again as it crosses and meanders up the side and around the green of the tough par-4 17th.
Careful attention to aesthetics and visual detail is clear to see, whether looking at the high-end villas, the eclectic mix of New Orleans French Quarter style dwellings, or the golf course itself. Even the "old ruin" found alongside the 17th looks thoroughly authentic (perhaps it is!). This is a fun and wonderfully varied layout, full of character and plenty of golfing challenge.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.

Copper Mill is a member of Louisiana's Audubon Golf Trail. The Trail was established in 2001, and includes 18 of the best public-access courses in the state. [See our entry for Audubon Park (Did You Know section) for a list of the Audubon Golf Trail courses].
Copper Mill is located just west of and alongside the town of Zachary, which started life in 1885 as a small community, named after the farmer on whose land it was built. Zachary has now become a popular and affluent commuter town to Baton Rouge (the state capital), spurred on by its frequent ranking as one of the top school districts in Louisiana. Copper Mill has added to the area's stock of quality housing.
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 five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
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.
