Beaver Creek

Accuracy off the tee is essential at Beaver Creek, a public course about 30 minutes north of Baton Rouge. The fairways are quite narrow, though the front nine is more exposed, and there is plenty of rough before you reach trees and water. The back side is a more demanding ball-striking test, with narrow corridors and some forced carries. For an affordable daily-fee course, Beaver Creek is often in nice condition and rates start around $30-40, making it one of the best values in the Baton Rouge area.
