Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

Is St. John the Baptist Parish a good destination for a dedicated golf trip?

With only two courses, this isn't a multi-day golf marathon destination. We recommend it as a fantastic add-on to a trip exploring the wider New Orleans area, offering a relaxed day or two of play away from the city bustle. You'll find a more intimate, less crowded experience here.

When is the best time of year to play golf in St. John the Baptist Parish?

We always aim for the cooler, drier months from late October through April. You'll avoid the intense summer heat and humidity that makes a full round feel like a marathon, and the courses will be in their prime without the constant threat of afternoon thunderstorms.

What kind of golf courses can I expect to find in St. John the Baptist Parish?

Don't come expecting championship links; these are solid, well-maintained local tracks that offer enjoyable, accessible golf. You'll likely encounter a friendly, laid-back atmosphere and courses that prioritize fun over extreme challenge, perfect for a casual round.

What else should I do in St. John the Baptist Parish besides golf?

Since golf won't fill your entire trip, we highly recommend exploring the historic plantations along River Road, like Laura Plantation or Oak Alley. You'll get a fascinating glimpse into Louisiana's past and a beautiful contrast to your time on the greens.

How do golf costs in St. John the Baptist Parish compare to other Louisiana golf regions?

You'll generally find green fees here to be quite reasonable, often a bit less than what you'd pay at some of the more high-profile resorts closer to New Orleans. It's a great spot if you're looking for good value without sacrificing a quality round.
