Shreveport, LA courses

[JFish350]

My son is stationed in Shreveport, LA. We are headed there in a couple weeks to visit him. HE isn’t to much into golf but will go. His mother, sister and all want to play so we are brining the clubs with. 

Can someone from the area or knowledge of the area recommend a couple decent not ultra expensive courses?

 

Thanks

I’ve only ever played a semi-private course in that area called Stonebridge. It meanders through a neighborhood, so there are houses everywhere, but it’s always in good shape. I would call the Edwin Watts store in Shreveport on 70th Ave and ask those guys for some recommendations. I always call local golf stores and ask when I’m headed somewhere and have no idea on courses.

I used to be in Shreveport reasonably often for work.  I used to play Shreveport Country Club, when you could get a good midweek rate on Golf Now.  I believe this was Hal Sutton's home course growing up.  It's unfortunately closed now for good.  Wish I could have seen it in it's heyday.  You could tell it was a palace back in (probably) the 70's.

Your son is "stationed" there.  Is he at Barksdale? I believe there are two courses on the base that I think are both pretty decent, and you would most likely play with locals/service members.  Can't think of a better time.

Yes he is at Barksdale. I've mentioned the course on base but he isn't to into that. He thinks there would be to many officers and would rather play off base.
