Golf in Fort Polk

Vernon Parish covers the western edge of Louisiana's piney hills, and Fort Polk — now formally redesignated as Fort Johnson — is the Army installation that has shaped the parish's economy and culture since World War II. Warrior Hills Golf Course serves the military community on post, its name aligning with the installation's warrior culture and the Kisatchie National Forest that surrounds the base on multiple sides. Access is limited to authorized personnel, but the facility benefits from the forested setting that makes Vernon Parish feel different from the flat parishes to the south. The Kisatchie Hills, modest by national standards, provide the state's closest approximation of genuine upland topography for course design purposes.
