Overview
Home of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans since 2007, this Pete Dye design exudes a flair of TPC Sawgrass with some more low-profile design features like hidden bunkers and green complexes that offer options on approach. Dye had help from fellow tour pros Steve Elkington and New Orleans native Kelly Gibson on this 7,400-yard par-72 layout. Consistently ranked in the top 10 of Golf Digest’s Best in State, TPC Louisiana offers a nice mix of challenging short and long holes.

Review
“TPC Lousiana is a mid to upper level best in state course. I thought the layout variety was very good with some long and short par 3,4 and 5's. Also a good variety of doglegs both ways and straight holes. I thought the course was very fun, fair but also challenging from a length perspective from the back tees."

“Course was hit hard by Hurricane Ida a couple years but you wouldn’t know it. There is some tree clearing ongoing to removed damaged trees and improve sightlines. Always fun to play a Pete Dye course. While there is a lot of sand on the course, neither the waste area sand or the bunkers are hard to extract your ball from."

“One of the least inspirating Pete Dye courses he designed. With only 2 feet above sea level, there wasn't much he could do and it showed."

“TPC Louisiana is a modern, semi-private Pete Dye design that is best known for hosting the PGA Tour. While very flat and not all that memorable, this is a fun and well-conditioned course. It is easily the best public course in the New Orleans area and features a wonderful practice area."

“If you're going to play TPC Louisiana do so after the Zurich Classic tournament. Prime conditions and the course plays very firm and fast."
