Course Highlights
The course layout delivers a genuine challenge with well-placed water hazards and sand traps that reward strategic play. Exceptionally friendly staff and strong overall value make this one of the better options in the region.

The National Golf Club of Louisiana is the cornerstone of the Westlake community. The course wanders through towering stands of beautiful Louisiana soft pines that provide an idyllic setting. The layout measures more than 7,000 yards from the back tees, offering plenty of holes that will please long hitters. The challenging greens are known to be some of the largest of any golf course in the area. The size of the greens can accommodate a variety of hole locations, allowing the course to play differently each time. You'll be tested with 80 strategically placed bunkers and 14 different lakes that come into play throughout. The generously wide fairways are seemingly docile but the subtle slopes and rolling terrain can be unforgiving. Accuracy and proper club selection are the keys to scoring well at The National Golf Club of Louisiana.

Very nice Course

It’s excellent, fairway and greens are perfect, the only point to improve is the bunkers that with rain turns into a pool, but for this price and the level of maintenance, the service and the general conditions is one of the best in the region

Golf Groups Beware...

The Kreole Klassic golf tournament's recent experience at the National Golf Club of Louisiana was exceptionally poor, defined by a shocking lack of basic hospitality and professionalism.

The club's management demonstrated a complete disregard for our group's business by rudely demanding that all participants vacate the indoor restaurant and move outside. This unwelcoming

attitude was compounded by a failure to provide for player safety and comfort; despite the dangerous 100-degree weather, there was no ice available for the golfers on the course.

Furthermore, the provided golf carts were in a state of disrepair, hindering the enjoyment of the game. The club’s unprofessionalism was also evident in its financial dealings, as it not only required a partial pre-payment before the day of the event but also reneged on its explicit promise to provide a complimentary round for the group leader.

Based on this disrespectful service, broken promises, and neglectful conditions, any golf group looking to host an outing at the National Golf Club of Louisiana should be warned and proceed with

extreme caution.

Tale of two golf groups.

There are still some “under maintenance” bunkers. I skipped one par 3 because the staff was currently working on the green and bunker right next to the pin. Played behind slower groups all round. One I was allowed took play through. The second took the everyone ahead is slow so deal with it, they called it quits after 14. The third was amazed at my drive and birdie on 18.

Nice course for the money

Really enjoyed this course. It had rained a lot the day before so it was cart path only, but we thought the course drained well.

It winds through several neighborhoods, but the views of the course were great.

Will definitely play this course again.

Rain and Lightning

It rained off and on heavily and we were eventually told to leave the course for weather. We spent the delay in the on site bar and grill, but eventually were allowed to resume. Some bunkers are still under repair though.

On the mend.

Greens are still on the mend from the aeration a few weeks ago and some greens are still missing strips of grass. Overall the course is good though. Slow play from some beginners in front of us but otherwise fine but HOT.

Course was in good shape, and it was extremely difficult with water hazards and sand traps on the fairways and putting green areas.
