David Toms, Louisiana native and 2001 PGA Champion, designed Carter Plantation as his first signature course, opening in 2003 in Springfield, about 45 minutes east of Baton Rouge. The 7,000+ yard par-72 layout winds through three distinct Louisiana landscapes: live oak flats, cypress wetlands, and upland pine forests. Golf Magazine named Carter Plantation a Top 10 Course You Can Play, and the course is an honored member of the Louisiana Audubon Golf Trail, meeting the trail's strict evaluation for playability, conditioning, amenities, and customer service. Daily-fee resort pricing in the $$ band. As a Louisiana destination, it pairs naturally with TPC Louisiana, Toms's first build alongside the Tour-host Pete Dye design makes for a balanced two-day Audubon Trail loop.
Carter Plantation Golf Resort's peak-season green fee is around $99 per round. Off-peak rates vary by season. Call the pro shop for current shoulder pricing. Cart, range balls, and caddie fees are typically separate. Estimate the full Louisiana Audubon Trail trip cost
