Golf in Springfield

Tangipahoa Parish's interior between Hammond and the Amite River contains some of the Florida Parishes' more rural and wooded terrain, and Springfield is a small community in this quieter zone. Carter Plantation is the standout facility, a private development-anchored course set in the piney upland with a residential community surrounding the golf layout. The development model — golf course as centerpiece of a planned residential community — is common across the Gulf South, and Carter Plantation follows that pattern in a parish whose pine-forested interior provides more attractive residential settings than the flat, developed Hammond corridor. Access to Interstate 55 makes the location viable for commuters working in the greater New Orleans or Baton Rouge markets.
