Golf in Ruston

Lincoln Parish's county seat is Ruston, a university town whose identity is shaped primarily by Louisiana Tech University — the engineering and science programs there have a national reputation unusual for a school of its size. Golf in Ruston is limited to driving-range practice rather than a full course, reflecting a smaller market that nonetheless has genuine golf interest from the university community and the surrounding population. The piney upland of Lincoln Parish provides the natural context, with longleaf restoration projects and timber management characterizing the land use patterns outside the city. For full-course options, Lincoln Parish golfers typically travel to Monroe, Shreveport, or the private Squire Creek Country Club in neighboring Choudrant.
