4-star: Above average course - well worth a visit.

Est. 2009

LaTour Golf Club: just a short drive from New Orleans, this is an excellent recent addition to Louisiana's already established reputation as a sportsman's paradise ... golf included! Located deep in the tranquillity of bayou country, the course opened for public play in September 2009.

This 7,232-yard championship course designed by Louisianan PGA Tour professional David Toms, is a top-quality and relatively open parkland design. Excellent bunkering and not insignificant water hazards, plus the course's length provide an all round test for your game.

Pick of the holes: a strong contender for the course’s signature hole is the par-3 17th, which is modelled on Royal Troon's 138-yard 8th hole (the "Postage Stamp"). Another memorable hole is the 18th, a 563-yard par-5 that plays entirely uphill.

Did you know?

La Tour GC 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].

The driving force behind LaTour Golf Club and neighbouring community was John A. Brady Jr. As a US Army veteran and former telecomms industry entrepreneur, John Brady's love of travel, golf, fishing and other recreational sports combined to create the vision of a golf and country club in this part of Louisiana. He unfortunately died in 2008 before the opening of LaTour, but his spirit lives on in this prestigious facility.
