Golf in Slidell

St. Tammany Parish on the Northshore has become the preferred destination for New Orleans families seeking more space, better schools, and a slightly different environment than the south shore's flat, sea-level neighborhoods. Slidell, at the eastern end of the parish on the edge of Lake Pontchartrain, is the largest city and an important commercial hub. Three courses serve the Slidell area: Oak Harbor Golf Club, Pinewood Country Club, and Royal Golf Club, offering a range of options from waterfront layouts to wooded parkland designs. Oak Harbor in particular takes advantage of the Lake Pontchartrain shoreline to create a coastal visual character unusual in inland Louisiana courses. Slidell's access to Interstate 10 makes it a reasonable base for golfers exploring both the Northshore facilities and the New Orleans area courses across the causeway.
