Olde Oaks Golf Club in Haughton

Near the Shreveport-Bossier City gambling mecca, Olde Oaks Golf Club's 27 holes on 340 acres are memorable, and the parking lot is loaded with cars from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

"Olde Oaks is user friendly with some rolls of the land uncharacteristic to this part of the state," designer Sutton said, "but I think the course challenges the scratch golfer and is fun and playable for the high handicapper."

This Sutton signature course had design help from Kevin Tucker for the Meadows, Cypress and Oak nines which snake through a former cotton plantation in a links style. The Oak layout features an 80-acre lake that comes into play on several holes. The routing uses mounding, lots of water danger, native grasses and a GPS system on each cart.

DIRECTIONS: I-49 towards Monroe exit 20C (Barksdale Blvd.) Go southeast 8 miles turn left at railroad tracks at Hwy. 612. Go approx. 4.5 miles to the second entrance on the right.

Gray Plantation in Lake Charles

Step back in time to a classic on the banks of the Calcasieu River. Built in 1999, Rocky Roquemore's art work stretches out 6,946 yards, a par 72 that was ranked No. 3 on Golf Digest's list of America's Best New Courses in 2000.

Nature rules here with awesome landscaping, 60 acres of water coming into play on 12 holes, 94 sand traps and tall pines strategically stationed. The par 3s, two with island greens, are the most fun.

Enjoy southern hospitality at The Clubhouse, a raised plantation house surrounded by scenic marshland. The back porch is a great place to discuss your birdies and bogeys of the day and have lunch.
