Belle Terre Country Club
About
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.

The hole was damaged an inch around the entire hole. This wasn’t the worst one but just one that I took a picture of after being disgusted. Photo submitted by u000004947912 on 06/13/2021

Laplace Course
Overall the course was playable, most greens were good though slow. Tee boxes required a huge effort to put a tee in the ground. I played with the golf now deal for 35.00 which is what would be the acceptable price as regular price. They have the regular price at $60.00 which will not make people come to play the course. Many course in much better condition are cheaper or in excellent condition. They literally have 5 groups playing on a Friday? Overpriced, course was once in better shape for a way cheaper rate. They just reopened a few months back, great layout etc but not good enough course conditions for the price !
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent experience at our golf course. We apologize if the conditions did not meet your expectations and we appreciate your comments regarding the pricing. We will take this into consideration as we continue to improve our course. Thank you again for your review.

Took a peek
On my way back to NOLA after playing in BR, I decided to stop by to check out greens. #2 & #11. They looked fairly good. They were sanded with grass a little longer than what would be normal. Ball rolled nicely. Like many places, it needs RAIN. I'd say an inch a day for 7 days would be great. I'll be back, but I'm gonna wait until September...when it's cooler... I hope.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the longer grass. We will take your suggestion for more rainfall into consideration and we hope to see you back in September.
Greens sanded
Greens still suck. Fairways in nice shape. Needed a hammer on some tee boxes. Won’t be back anytime soon.
We apologize for the disappointment you experienced with our greens and tee boxes. Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we appreciate your comments about the fairways.
Greens
Greens are super hard a kind of slow but overall a great place to place.

Friday Morning Golf
This was my 2nd time playing since the course reopened. I don't have any complaints on this course, minus there might not have been water available. There was a cart lady and the range was open. The greens are looking better and some of them still have some minor repairs going on. This is a nice course, with a great layout.
Your feedback is important to us, Blacmacc. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Belle Terre Country Club.
Finally Back
So glad the course opened back up. The greens are fantastic (although a little fast) , and the layout of the course makes for a very fun round. Not too difficult for an intermediate golfer like myself. I will definitely be playing there again in the future. And the course manager (?) couldn't have been nicer to me.
Hi, mbowma3. We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back at Belle Terre Country Club!
Glad it's back'
Nice to see this place re open. Cool layout
Friendly staff, and a decent price.
4.25/5 but I'm rounding up because of the old reviews dragging the score down
Thanks so much for the great review, karpes360. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Belle Terre Country Club.
Over-rated
Staff boast of new greens and course conditions as great. I was not impressed with the condition of yhe fairways or the greens. The completely new greens were the same as I remember from 12 years ago. And the greens ran rather slow for a newly seeded course.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize if your experience with the condition of the fairways and greens did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for future improvements. Thanks for choosing Belle Terre Country Club.

Overall course is in good shape. Slow greens and high rough. Probably because of recent rain. But I will be back.

First round since re-opening
The new greens were still a little bumpy, and tee boxes were hard as a rock, BUT, overall experience was very good...Staff was super nice, clubhouse and bar were nice as well... Carts were new .
I'll be back!

We appreciate your kind words about our staff, clubhouse, bar, and new carts, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.
I was a member at Belle Terre for many years until they closed for hurricane Ida. They finally re-opened. I had read several reviews and spoke to some people that played even though the reviews were not impressive I decided to see for myself. For the most part, everyone was spot on. I would have thought after two years and deciding to reopen that ownership would want the place to look its best. It was far from that. they have been boastful of their greens and while I feel they will be very nice in time. They are not there yet. They have focused almost solely on the greens and have neglected other areas of the course. I have always loved the fairways, because the ball used to sit up very nicely. They have thinned out tremendously since then. The majority of tee boxes have little grass on them. There was a maintenance crew working on parts of the course, such as railings and paths but something that should have been done prior to opening. Ownership has not put their best foot forward if the intention is to attract more play and members. I played on a Sunday afternoon and it appears the holes haven’t been relocated in a week. Every one of them were overgrown with grass running into the cup. Not one clean cup.
It was nice to see the staff again after a long time. I know they have gotten some bad wrap themselves but they are good people, unfortunately a result of their leadership or lack of. When I arrived I could see the neglect of the pool area. There was also a foul odor from it due to stagnant water. If they are not going to repair it they should remove it or at least screen around it so it’s not such an eyesore. So much for caring about first impressions. You see it as soon as you arrive. That doesn’t entice enthusiasm for the round. The range has yet to open and when finishing a round at 4-430 in the afternoon you couldn’t buy a sandwich if you wanted to.
I haven’t and don’t want to give up on this place because the course design is great even after it’s been bastardized a bit by removing several traps and bushes that protected certain areas. At $60 plus tax not to mention if the range were open it would be a $75 round, the place isn’t worth it right now. It’s merely a 40-45$ course at this time. There are too many other courses in that price range in far better condition.
I pray that ownership will open their eyes and ears to see what is happening and make changes although I have little hope they will after all this time.

Weather challenged
The course had a good layout. But, due to severe hot weather and no rain, the course was hard and crusty. Fairways lacked grass. Greens were very high, no roll and bouncing. Would not return to this course again until weather provided more reasonable conditions for the maintenance crews to improve the grounds.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for the challenges you experienced with the course conditions during your visit, especially due to the hot weather and lack of rain.
