Golf in Brusly

West Baton Rouge Parish occupies the Mississippi's west bank across from Baton Rouge, historically sugar country and still marked by plantation-era land patterns. Brusly is a small river community in this parish, its identity shaped more by the sugarcane economy and the proximity to major petrochemical facilities than by Baton Rouge's urban pull. West Side Golf Course provides local golfers a modest facility in this compact parish, where the flat Mississippi River bottomland keeps the terrain featureless but the proximity to the river creates a distinctive ambient quality. West Baton Rouge is one of Louisiana's smaller parishes, its dense industry contrasting with quiet residential streets.
