Golf in Choudrant

Lincoln Parish sits in north-central Louisiana's piney hills, where the soil rises and drains freely compared to the bottomlands that dominate the state's lower half. Choudrant is a small community in the parish, best known in Louisiana golf circles for Squire Creek Country Club, a private facility set in the upland forest. The surrounding landscape is genuinely wooded (longleaf and loblolly pine, hardwood creek bottoms) and the course takes advantage of terrain that designers working in the flat south cannot access. Lincoln Parish is home to Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, and the college-town energy of the region supports a more active athletic culture than the population numbers alone might suggest.
