Carter Plantation Golf Resort

• 🏆Top 10 Courses You Can Play — Golf Magazine

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.
