Golf in Haughton

Bossier Parish extends eastward from Bossier City into the red-clay pine hills of northwest Louisiana, and Haughton sits in this suburban fringe where the Shreveport-Bossier metro's growth has pushed residential development into formerly rural territory. Olde Oaks Golf Course takes its name from the hardwood species that mark the transition between pine upland and creek-bottom bottomland in this part of the state, offering a wooded experience that contrasts with the more open terrain of courses in south Louisiana. The Bossier Parish growth pattern mirrors exurban expansion found across the Sunbelt — larger lots, newer construction, and a preference for amenities like golf within easy commuting range of the metro core.
