Belle Terre Country Club in La Place was carefully carved from the beautiful swamps of southeast Louisiana. The name, translated from French, means "beautiful land," a title that the terrain certainly lives up to. Pete Dye designed the golf course, utilizing the existing water features and mature trees to craft a layout that is both challenging and scenic. The back tees stretch to 6,849 yards, which will challenge the seasoned player while the forward tees make the course accessible for beginners. Water comes into play on 10 holes and there are also several strategically placed bunkers. Belle Terre Country Club boasts a nice mix of holes that will test a variety of different skills, from long holes where you can grip it and rip it to short, tight holes that demand accuracy.

They have lost the greens

The front nine was closed because of the conditions of thier greens, so we had to play the back nine twice. If the condition of the greens on the back nine were any indication, it will be MONTHS before the course is playable. The greens were terrible. I won't be back anytime soon

This course has great features

This is an extremely nice course, only thing is that they are undergoing construction at the moment and some of the tee boxes are a little sketchy, also some of the greens are being airrated and not best as of yet. I assume when they are finished with it all that place will be in supurb shape. I can't wait !!!!! Event with all that, it's still a nice place to play a great round of golf !!!!

Competitive friendly course

I have played this course many times and have always been pleased.

On today's round, i expected more of a challenge due to days of rain (usually drains well) and management' investing in continuously improving the course; hence, some construction on a couple of holes. Yet there was still lots of good golf to be had. Fairways cut well with manageable rough. Approaches and greens well maintained; greens were dry and in excellent shape in spite of previous weather. Putts rolled true.

Any other time I would be giving an EXCELLENT rating.

As always, the staff is great and helpful.

The clubhouse has been renovated; food and service are good.

While out on the course the cart girl was there often with great cold drinks and power snacks.

This is easily the best course in the area and worth the short drive i make once or twice a week from New Orleans.

Recommend you check it out for yourself as you will enjoy the experience. Tell George or Stan that Hal highly recommended you for a great golf outing.

This course sucks the condition is pitiful. Had a foursome of old geysers that would not let us play through the whole front nine. Will not be playing here again.

Out of the Way Course

Belle Terre touts itself as a Pete Dye design. If you've ever played a Dye course, you might find this one to be a bit different from the others you've played. Like so many other South Louisiana courses, Belle Terre is downright swampy, and it might be worth noting that as you approach a water hazard on this course, you might want to look 2 or 3 times for alligators and snakes. I have seen both out there.

This course is located in Laplace, Louisiana, about 35-40 minutes west of downtown New Orleans on I-10. It's definitely out of the way, and as such is more a locals course than a tourist destination.

It's two nines both emanate from right in front of the clubhouse and make outward turning loops through neighborhoods. The course isn't long, topping out at 6849 yards. The breeze off Lakes Maurepas and Pontchartrain can be daunting on the northern facing holes.

The signature holes on the course are the 183 yard par 3 5th hole, which seems to simply be an oasis in the marsh, and the 448 yard par 4 17th, which features a bit of everything - water in the forms of ponds and a canal running across the fairway, as well as tough bunkering.

It's a bit outside of the easy access of the city so it's not likely on many people's radar. And while it was recently renovated (green complexes upgraded for better roll and drainage) it remains just maybe a slight notch above an average course - rough edges, housing, not much for beauty. But a good play nonetheless!

Lovely

Although the driving range is small, I'm not used to hitting on such a well manicured surface. The grass was perfect and it was an awesome warmup.

The course had a nice layout, was in pretty good condition, and the sand traps were in perfect condition. Other than a group ahead of us taking FOREVER, it was a great day.

Excellent value.

This course is worth almost any price. After the amount of rain and summer heat it is great shape. Saw many grounds keepers doing positive things. Staff very knowledgeable and friendly. I think I remember Pete Dye designed it?

Belle Terre: good value for the $

This was the first time playing here in a couple of years. The layout and design is very challenging, particularly the front nine. The greens were good but could have been a bit quicker; otherwise the fairways and everything were very nice. The overall value was excellent!
