About National Golf Club of Louisiana

Five sets of tees drop all the way to 5,267 yards, so pick yours honestly and it's a fair day. The map survey puts water near all 18 holes and more than a dozen doglegs.

The clubhouse is new and Acadian in style, with big patios and a fleet of 76 lithium carts with GPS and pin locations. Its restaurant, The Max, is a 120-seat grill named for Westlake's longtime coach Max Calderara.
It's one of 7 courses Yoink watches in the Lake Charles area, and The National Golf Club of Louisiana is practically next door — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
