Renowned course architect Pete Dye designed TPC Louisiana near Avondale in consultation with PGA Tour professionals Steve Elkington and Kelly Gibson, and it quickly developed a stellar reputation following its 2004 opening.
The course stretches over 250 acres of wetlands by the Mississippi River Delta. As such, its landscape is not dissimilar to a nature reserve.
Players will find bunkers and water throughout, along with mature oak and cypress trees. However, arguably the course’s most memorable hole is saved until last. The par-5 18th is dominated by water along the entire right-hand side. It’s also the course’s longest hole, meaning an accurate tee shot is essential for a solid finish to your round.
TPC Louisiana is the current host of the PGA Tour’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans - the only team tournament on the Tour's schedule. The course first hosted the event a year after it opened, and would have most likely had an unbroken run until today, but for Hurricane Katrina, meaning in 2006, it was held at English Turn Golf and Country Club before the tournament returned to the venue the year after.
As well as being a regular home of a big PGA Tour event, TPC Louisiana is also open to the public. Green fees for between one and four players start at $89 for Louisiana residents and $129 for non-residents, with players able to book tee times online through the TPC website.
You can also become a member, with several options available, including individual, family, annual, and a weekday annual pass program. A full annual membership costs $4,500 per year plus tax, while a weekday annual pass costs $2,850 per year plus tax. There’s also a NOLA card, strictly for Louisiana residents, costing $329 per year plus tax, and an additional $74 per round.
