Designed by golf course architects Max Maxwell and
Nathan Crace, the championship course at Copper Mill is a refreshingly eclectic mix of
old world shot-making and contemporary agronomic conditioning. Weaving its way through open fields of
native grasses, centuries-old solitary live oaks, and a landscape dotted with strategically placed bunkers,
you may forget you are in South Louisiana-save for the two holes that precociously crisscross Cypress Bayou.
Another unique feature of Copper Mill’s layout is its combination of holes
with three par 3 holes, three par 4 holes, and three par 5 holes on each nine!
This mix makes for not only a change from the rudimentary arrangement encountered
on most courses, but also adds a degree of excitement to both tournaments and
"friendly wagers" alike. Copper Mill’s course promises to raise
the expectations for golfers throughout Louisiana and beyond with unique features,
a multitude of risk/reward opportunities, and breath-taking golf vistas too numerous
to count! And the course was skillfully routed through its natural setting to
provide not only spacious fairways and playing areas, but also some of the best
golf course home sites in Louisiana without the feeling of "crowding" the golf
course.
