Squire Creek Country Club

Located between Monroe and Ruston in the north of Louisiana State, the Squire Creek course is a Tom Fazio new millennium design that occupies a prominent position within an enormous 1,100-acre residential development.

The course is one of a number of wonderful sporting amenities – including six floodlit tennis courts, an infinity swimming pool and a couple of exercise rooms – that are available to members at this modern country club.

Squire Creek plays to a par of 72 over its length of 7,105 yards and two of the par three holes on the card are worthy of special mention: on the front nine, the downhill 194-yard 3rd plays to the green across an area of wetlands whilst on the back nine, the tee shot at the 205-yard 16th is threatened by a lake to the left of the green.

Tom Doak made a point of playing Squire Creek in 2016 and awarded the course a rating of seven out of ten. He commented as follows in his Christmas 2017 Confidential Guide update:

“The I-20 corridor across northern Louisiana is one of America’s major truck routes, so it only made sense for James Davison to run his trucking firm out of there and, eventually, a Tom Fazio golf course for his employees and for a regional membership. Cut through an undulating oak and pine forest, Squire Creek’s front nine is some of Fazio’s best work, with two arms of the creek coming into play on nearly every hole from the 2nd to the 8th. The only part of the course that seems less inspired is the stretch from the 14th to the 17th, routed around a large lake that you could find on any course of this vintage.”
