About
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.

Shocked to see the course In the condition that it is in. Tee boxes not cut, greens not good , cups look as if have not been changed in months some were actually collapsing down into the hole
Bunkers are not maintained
Course in good shape
Course was in great shape for the weather we have been having the past few weeks. Greens were nice rolled true. Will be back.
I am a beginner at golf and saw this course while working in West Lake. It was so fun to play the course. It’s beautiful and challenging for a beginner which I found amazing. I will make it a point to bring my clubs whenever I come to West Lake just so I can play here again. Staff was amazing food in the restaurant was amazing.
Nice but slow.
Course and facilities are very nice, price is outstanding, but the pace is very slow. I’d suggest playing in off times if you don’t want a 5 hour round.
Has potential!
They need to put some money into course but great layout and facilities. Greens were recently punched but rough outside of punches, flags were ripped/torn, holes hadn’t been moved for days & pins didn’t stay in the hole!
16 out of 18 greens to be covered in weeds that disrupt your putting. Ants on the T boxes that bite you when trying to drive. Just over all the last 4 times I’ve been I was not impressed.
Great course, but really bumpy greens
I really enjoyed the layout of this golf course. It offers a couple of challenging tee shots, and you need to be pretty accurate with your approach shots as well. Unfortunately, the greens were really patchy and bumpy, and it seemed like weeds were just taking over the greens.
Besides that, the staff was friendly, and the pace of play was really good for a Sunday afternoon.
Great course not so great greens
This is my second time to play here and the greens have gone down big time. Love the layout and it’s a shame that the greens aren’t good at all.
Fun course
Great course lay out. Staff very friendly. Greens had a lot of crab grass which made putting hard to read but overall. Course is well maintained and would definitely play there again.
Great day
My wife and I Enjoyed a relaxing day of golf on a very nice course at an affordable price. It was a great day.
Small things matter
The course is wonderful
Great layout with a good blend of water and sand traps.The pace of play is good, can pile up at times but that’s understandable. The only issue is with the sand traps , they are in bad shape and affects the play of the game significantly. That being said , the course is well worth playing ,it’s enjoyable and fun
Don’t leave without visiting the restaurant. The food is delicious and the staff wonderful
It was OK
There were a lot of holes that were being re-sodded and part of the fairways were roped off, as well as one hole being turned from a par 4 to a par 3 due to course work. Overall it was just ok, I don’t think I would play there again. But the staff was nice.
