Golf in Zachary

East Baton Rouge Parish's northern suburbs have developed steadily as Baton Rouge has grown, and Zachary sits at the parish's northern edge as one of the newer communities to establish a distinct identity. The city is notable for a school system that has drawn families from across the metro for its academic performance relative to parish-wide averages. Three courses serve Zachary and the surrounding area: Copper Mill Golf Club, Fenwood Hills Country Club, and Fennwood Hills Golf Club — the naming variations suggest either a rebranding or a local spelling idiosyncrasy worth investigating before publication. The north Baton Rouge suburb landscape is pine upland transitioning to the bottomland along the Comite and Amite rivers, giving courses here slightly more topographic interest than the flat city courses to the south.
